‘Examine On Humanitarian Grounds’ ‘Examine On Humanitarian Grounds’ NEW DELHI: After ascertaining repatriation of a pregnant Sunali Khatun along with her eight-year-old son to India, Supreme Court on Friday asked the Union govt to consider on humanitarian grounds the pleas for bringing back four others, including her husband, who were deported to Bangladesh in June this year.A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi was informed by West Bengal’s counsel Kapil Sibal and counsel Sanjay Hegde, who appeared for Sunali’s father Bhodu Sekh, that she is back in India and residing with her father. When the bench asked whether adequate healthcare facilities are being extended to her, the state govt said it is providing her with required medical facilities given her advanced stage of pregnancy.Both Sibal & Hegde requested the court & solicitor general Tushar Mehta to consider bringing back the four others, who were deported along with Sunali to Bangladesh, and claimed that they have every document to prove that they were Indian citizens.Mehta said govt will need time to verify documents. The bench said, “If govt thinks on humanitarian grounds they can be brought back, it can do so. That will be without prejudice to govt’s legal arguments in the case.”The SG drew attention to a report on Friday on Sunali and said publication of such reports was meant to create a narrative, which amounts to influencing public opinion. The CJI-led bench said criticising orders of the court & publishing court proceedings in a case is perfectly fine, but attempting to peddle a narrative through a newspaper publication timed to the date of hearing is avoidable.”There should be no running commentary when a matter is sub-judice. Healthy criticism of a judgment is welcome. But publishing opinions on a sub-judice matter… the author and publisher need to be responsible. We judges are totally immune to what is published in newspapers which we go through only in the evening,” the CJI said.Sibal said, “Globally, comments are made on sub-judice matters in newspapers. It is not a sacrilege if motive is not attributed to the judge.” The CJI said, “Problem arises when distorted and half-baked truth is published. It creates a misapprehension in the minds of people.” Hegde said, “We need to develop thick skin for all these things.” The bench posted the matter for further hearing on Jan 6, when it would consider the plea for repatriation of the other four.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Speeds Up Visas For Chinese Businesses Amid Thaw In Ties; Beijing Calls It ‘Positive Move’India’s Ambassador To UNESCO Hails Inscription Of Diwali On Intangible Cultural Heritage ListPutin Keeps Sharif Waiting In Ashgabat, Desperate Pakistan PM Gate-Crashes Meeting With ErdoganIs Trump Planning A New Core-5 Superclub With India As Central Power?

‘Real-Term Rise In Air Ticket Prices Negative’ ‘Real-Term Rise In Air Ticket Prices Negative’ NEW DELHI: Amid demands to regulate airfare, civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu said in Lok Sabha on Friday that the govt retains the power to intervene in extraordinary circumstances – as seen during the recent spike in ticket prices due to mass-cancellation of IndiGo flights -to protect passengers against opportunistic pricing but emphasised the importance of deregulation and viability of airlines for the sector to grow.Rejecting criticism of soaring air prices, he said in real terms the growth in airfare is actually negative if consumer price index is factored in. In India, it has fallen by 43% compared to 23% in the US and 34% in China, he said, insisting that it is obvious that a certain pricing level has been maintained to keep it affordable for people.”We all feel these are companies which are charging a lot of money. But none of them are making good money. Most of them are in losses. We have to keep this in mind,” he said, replying to a debate on a private member’s resolution on “appropriate measures to regulate airfare in the country”.Hitting back at opposition members who targeted the govt over instances of exorbitant airfares and the alleged duopoly in the sector, he said no matter how much politics they resort to, the governing alliance is committed to people and ensuring that more and more places are brought on the aviation map. If this was not the case, PM Narendra Modi would not have been elected to office three times in a row, Naidu asserted. He emphasised that deregulation in the sector since 1994 had led to its growth as more airlines joined in and competition rose to the benefits of passengers. Competition Commission of India and courts have also advocated deregulation, he said.Congress MP Shafi Parambil, who had moved the resolution, cited the airfare of over Rs 60,000 in a Srinagar to Delhi flight following the Pahalgam terror attack to bat for regulation but withdrew his resolution as per the standard convention in cases of private members’ business.Naidu noted that the govt has a tariff monitoring unit, which is being made more powerful by its inclusion in aircraft rules to lend it statutory provisions. He said the govt had intervened to cap prices for air tickets to Prayagraj during the Mahakumbh this year, and it had taken similar measures after the Pahalgam terror attack.It is not that price surge occurs every day but mostly during festive seasons, he said, stressing that the govt has sat with airlines to augment capacities in specific routes during such occurrences. Aircraft availability is one of the constraints for the sector, and the govt is working at a programme so that aircraft are manufactured in India and the country grows as a leasing hub like Ireland and Singapore, he added.

Air India Express pilots are protesting the recruitment of new A320 captains, fearing reduced flying hours and pay. Around 100 pilots have written to management, questioning external hiring when internal utilization is low. They worry this will further impact their ability to meet contracted flying hours and affect their overall compensation. Air India Express pilots are protesting the recruitment of new A320 captains, fearing reduced flying hours and pay. Around 100 pilots have written to management, questioning external hiring when internal utilization is low. They worry this will further impact their ability to meet contracted flying hours and affect their overall compensation. NEW DELHI: IndiGo troubles are having a ripple effect on India’s big airlines. Air India group’s attempt to fish in the budget carrier’s troubled waters by coming out with an ad for experienced Airbus A320 captains has created anxiety within the former’s ranks, especially of Air India Express. The reason: AI Express’ under-utilised A320 pilots fear a swelling of their ranks will lead to further decline in their flying hours and adversely affect pay. Close to 100 pilots have so far written to the management of Tata Group’s low-cost carrier (LCC) so far to oppose the proposed induction. IndiGo is the world’s largest operator of the A320 family of planes.Air India Express currently has a fleet of 110 aircraft, of which 76 are Boeing 737s and the remaining 34 are A320 family planes of Air India and AirAsia India. At least 10 of these A320s will be returned to lessors early next year. While the airline will induct more A320s, the time lag in doing so will mean fewer flying hours – or getting the bare minimum 40 hours’ flying allowance.During Covid, erstwhile AirAsia India had reduced fixed hour payment contract of pilots from 70 to 40 hours. Subsequently, Air India also reduced the fixed hours. Only erstwhile Vistara did not do that while going in for a pay cut. IndiGo recently shifted to 50-hour fixed contracts for new junior first officers (JFOs), a reduction from the previous 70-hour standard. Fixed-hour contracts ensure pilots will get paid for a minimum of certain hours in case actual flying is less. AI Express, which has about 1,600 pilots, has its A320 aviators up in arms. “We’ve consistently been informed over the past year that the group is surplus on A320 captains, which has also been the basis for maintaining the 40-hour contract and declining the requested 70-hour contract… please clarify the reason for initiating recruitment now,” the letters say. “Why proceed with external recruitment when internal utilisation remains low?… With multiple recent resignations across the A320 fleet… is there a plan to prioritise retention or re-engagement before hiring externally? Won’t any additional recruitment at this stage further impact existing captains’ ability to achieve the contractually assumed cost to company based on 70 hours of flying?” they said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Speeds Up Visas For Chinese Businesses Amid Thaw In Ties; Beijing Calls It ‘Positive Move’India’s Ambassador To UNESCO Hails Inscription Of Diwali On Intangible Cultural Heritage ListPutin Keeps Sharif Waiting In Ashgabat, Desperate Pakistan PM Gate-Crashes Meeting With ErdoganIs Trump Planning A New Core-5 Superclub With India As Central Power?

Say Impeachment Move A Brazen Attempt To ‘Browbeat Judiciary’ Say Impeachment Move A Brazen Attempt To ‘Browbeat Judiciary’ NEW DELHI: Expressing solidarity with Madras high court judge Justice G R Swaminathan, 56 former judges Friday issued an open letter urging members of Parliament to withdraw the impeachment notice against him. They warned that the move undermines judicial independence and seeks to pressure judges who do not align with certain political or ideological expectations.Signatories include former SC judges Adarsh Goel and Hemant Gupta, Justice Anil Deo Singh (ex-CJ Rajasthan HC), Justice Narsimha Reddy (ex-CJ Patna HC), Justice P B Bajanthri (ex-CJ Patna HC) and Justice Subhro Kamal Mukherjee (ex-CJ Karnataka HC).The notice was filed after Justice Swaminathan, acting on a petition by a right-wing activist, directed state authorities to ensure that a sacred lamp be lit at a hilltop temple. Govt officials said this went against the longstanding practice of lighting the lamp at the nearby Deepa Mandapam, where the ritual had been observed for years.In their letter, the former judges sharply criticised the attempt to remove him. “We, the former Judges of SC and former CJs and Judges of HCs, take serious exception to the attempt being made by certain MPs and other senior advocates to impeach Justice G R Swaminathan of Madras HC. This is a brazen attempt to browbeat judges who do not fall in line with the ideological and political expectations of a particular section of society. If such an attempt is permitted to proceed, it would cut at the very roots of our democracy and independence of judiciary.”They stressed that the reasons cited by the MPs do not justify such a drastic step. “Even if the reasons mentioned by the signatory MPs are taken at face value, they are wholly inadequate to justify resorting to such a rare, exceptional & serious constitutional measure as impeachment,” the statement said.The former judges further warned that using impeachment to challenge judicial decisions poses a grave threat to the rule of law. “The very purpose of the impeachment mechanism is to uphold the integrity of the judiciary, not to convert it into a tool of arm-twisting, signalling and retaliation. To wield the threat of removal as a means of compelling judges to conform to political expectations is to turn a constitutional safeguard into an instrument of intimidation.Such an approach is “anti-democratic, anti-constitutional, and an anathema” to the rule of law. The present attempt to impeach a sitting high court judge for discharging his judicial duty is, therefore, not an isolated episode but part of a continuing assault on dignity and independence of the judicial institution itself.

Say Impeachment Move A Brazen Attempt To ‘Browbeat Judiciary’ Say Impeachment Move A Brazen Attempt To ‘Browbeat Judiciary’ NEW DELHI: Expressing solidarity with Madras high court judge Justice G R Swaminathan, 56 former judges Friday issued an open letter urging members of Parliament to withdraw the impeachment notice against him. They warned that the move undermines judicial independence and seeks to pressure judges who do not align with certain political or ideological expectations.Signatories include former SC judges Adarsh Goel and Hemant Gupta, Justice Anil Deo Singh (ex-CJ Rajasthan HC), Justice Narsimha Reddy (ex-CJ Patna HC), Justice P B Bajanthri (ex-CJ Patna HC) and Justice Subhro Kamal Mukherjee (ex-CJ Karnataka HC).The notice was filed after Justice Swaminathan, acting on a petition by a right-wing activist, directed state authorities to ensure that a sacred lamp be lit at a hilltop temple. Govt officials said this went against the longstanding practice of lighting the lamp at the nearby Deepa Mandapam, where the ritual had been observed for years.In their letter, the former judges sharply criticised the attempt to remove him. “We, the former Judges of SC and former CJs and Judges of HCs, take serious exception to the attempt being made by certain MPs and other senior advocates to impeach Justice G R Swaminathan of Madras HC. This is a brazen attempt to browbeat judges who do not fall in line with the ideological and political expectations of a particular section of society. If such an attempt is permitted to proceed, it would cut at the very roots of our democracy and independence of judiciary.”They stressed that the reasons cited by the MPs do not justify such a drastic step. “Even if the reasons mentioned by the signatory MPs are taken at face value, they are wholly inadequate to justify resorting to such a rare, exceptional & serious constitutional measure as impeachment,” the statement said.The former judges further warned that using impeachment to challenge judicial decisions poses a grave threat to the rule of law. “The very purpose of the impeachment mechanism is to uphold the integrity of the judiciary, not to convert it into a tool of arm-twisting, signalling and retaliation. To wield the threat of removal as a means of compelling judges to conform to political expectations is to turn a constitutional safeguard into an instrument of intimidation.Such an approach is “anti-democratic, anti-constitutional, and an anathema” to the rule of law. The present attempt to impeach a sitting high court judge for discharging his judicial duty is, therefore, not an isolated episode but part of a continuing assault on dignity and independence of the judicial institution itself. Today, the target may be one judge; tomorrow, it will be the institution as a whole,” they said.They also noted that this reflects a wider pattern of pressure on the judiciary. According to them, recent years have seen similar attempts to attack or discredit former chief justices Dipak Misra, Ranjan Gogoi, S A Bobde and D Y Chandrachud, as well as current CJI Justice Surya Kant, whenever their decisions upset political groups.
