File photo MUMBAI/PUNE: NCP politician Rupali Chakankar, who is under a cloud after her alleged links to rape-accused astrologer Ashok Kharat came to light, resigned from her post as chairperson of the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission after being asked to step down by CM Devendra Fadnavis.Sources said Fadnavis summoned Chakankar to his official residence for a meeting on Friday evening and directed that she resign immediately. She then called on Dy CM Sunetra Pawar, who is also NCP chief, and handed over her resignation letter. She retains her post as chief of NCP women’s wing.Her resignation letter, addressed to Fadnavis, said, “I am resigning from the post voluntarily owing to personal reasons.” She had occupied the position from Oct 2024.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrage’World’s first hit’: Iran claims strike on US F-35 lightning 2 – why it’s a big dealIran hits Ras Laffan facility: Qatar’s 17% LNG capacity gone, bn loss; which countries will be impacted?Kharat (67) was arrested by Nashik city police on Wednesday after a complaint by a woman (28) who accused him of sexually assaulting her repeatedly for three years between 2022 and 2025.Chakankar has been part of a temple trust headed by Kharat. After the controversy broke, images surfaced showing her washing Kharat’s feet, being fed by him and holding an umbrella to shield him from the sun. She had also compared him to Lord Vitthal in a video which later went viral.Besides the opposition, calls for Chakankar’s resignation also came from within the NCP, with Rupali Thombare Patil from the party alleging Chakankar had not acted on complaints against Kharat.Speaking to the media, Chakankar said, “I have sent in my resignation letter to allow for a transparent probe. My family believed in Kharat as a guru, and we have been present at his guru purnima functions. We did not know anything about the personal allegations against him. I was shocked when I heard about this case. What happened is wrong and terrible. We do not support it, and police need to probe it impartially.”Chakankar admitted she was part of the temple trust initially as its Maharashtra chief and then as member. But she said the tenure of the trust ended in Aug 2025. “The videos and photos shown are old. My husband and I both washed Kharat’s feet during a guru purnima function.”She also said the commission had immediately acted on complaints against another member of Kharat’s trust last year. “I will be filing defamation cases against those who made false allegations against me,” she said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosMoD Reveals India Exploring Joining GCAP Or FCAS Sixth Generation Fighter ProgrammePM Modi Speaks To Bahrain King, Condemns Attacks On Energy Infra, Stresses Secure Shipping RoutesTrump Sending Troops To Strait Of Hormuz?; ‘Iran Being Decimated’: Bibi Denies Dragging U.S Into WarDiplomacy In New Avatar: Why Vikram Doraiwami Picked Chinese Name Wei Jiameng As India’s New EnvoyHow Iran’s Attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan Gas Hub Sparks India’s Energy EmergencyIndian National Killed In Riyadh, MEA Confirms Total 6 Dead, 1 Missing Amid Israel-Iran WarRussia Tip Off Led To NIA Arrest Of Matthew VanDyke, Global Insurgency Network Exposed In Northeast’Some Say India Can Stop The War’: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s Big StatementPremium Petrol Prices Hiked By Up To ₹2.35 Per Litre In India Amid West Asia ConflictPakistan’s Fake War Narrative Exposed: India Busts Digital Attack After Iran’s IRIS Dena Strike123PhotostoriesMen’s health: Doctor shares early signs of low testosterone and if over-the-counter supplements helpFrom losing his mother at the age of 2 to delivering 15 flop Bhojpuri films and earning Rs 1.5 lakh per episode of Comedy Circus, When Krushna Abhishek opened up about his struggle8 desi vegetables that are actually foreign12 strangest place names in the world and the stories behind themEid Mubarak 2026: 6 traditional Seviyan preparations that complete the Eid feasting5 most scenic riverside retreats in India perfect for April travel5 advanced features in bikes that enhance performanceWhy no one stays in this forest after sunset: Unraveling the mystery of Nidhi Van6 spiritual cities emerging as India’s real estate hotspots in 20265 ways to use avocado peel in daily meal plans123Hot PicksIran newsGautam SinghaniaStrait of HormuzGold rate todayIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays March 2026Bank Holidays MarchTop TrendingIga SwiatekAir India Boeing 77760% free seat ruleQatar LNG ExportsMojtaba KhameneiJames GraceySpring EquinoxDiesel price hike8th Pay CommissionPremium Petrol Price Hike

CJI (File photo) NEW DELHI: PIL petitioner Pankaj Pushkar, who was associated with NCERT in preparing textbooks, informed a bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi that while the court had ordered redaction of the controversial reference to corruption in judiciary, parts in other books that show judiciary in poor light continue to be taught.He produced an NCERT textbook that contained the paragraph: “However, there are also court judgments that people believe work against the best interests of the common person. For example, activists who work on issues concerning the right to shelter and housing for the poor believe that the recent judgments on evictions are a far cry from earlier judgments.”While recent judgments tend to view the slum dweller as an encroacher in the city, earlier judgments (like the 1985 Olga Tellis vs Bombay Municipal Corporation) had tried to protect the livelihoods of slum dwellers,” the paragraph in NCERT textbook read.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrage’World’s first hit’: Iran claims strike on US F-35 lightning 2 – why it’s a big dealIran hits Ras Laffan facility: Qatar’s 17% LNG capacity gone, bn loss; which countries will be impacted?Reading aloud the paragraph, the CJI-led bench said there is nothing objectionable about this. “This is a viewpoint on the judgment. People have a right to criticise the judgments of the courts.Criticism of judgment does not stand on the same footing as the earlier case (textbook reference to corruption in judiciary)” the CJI said. The bench disposed of thepetition.Solicitor general Tushar Mehta, who happened to be present in the courtroom and who had a difficult time assuaging the judiciary’s hurt feelings because of the now-deleted reference to judicial corruption in class 8 social science textbook, immediately told the court that the Centre has already constituted a panel of eminent jurists — former Supreme Court judge Indu Malhotra and former attorney general K K Venugopal — to review every chapter on judiciary in all school textbooks in consultation with National Judicial Academy chairperson Justice Aniruddha Bose.The Chief Justice of India said, “In a given case, the court was of the view that people have no right over the land, they are encroachers and hence can be evicted. Other people may say that these people have been living on that piece of land for 10-15 years and hence have a right to live there. That is their perception and it is their viewpoint.”“If someone says the court’s view is erroneous, there is nothing wrong in that,” the bench said.

Saurabh.SinhaNew Delhi: The “usable” corridor in West Asia – a key route for flights between India and Europe, UK and North America – is shrinking with the Israel-Iran war theatre expanding.From Friday, Air India changed its route slightly to fly more to the southern side of Saudi Arabia after entering the country from Oman as Riyadh is also being targeted now. This has added another 20-30 minutes to its long flights.”While as of now we are operating our schedule to Europe, the UK and North America taking the longer route, if the same gets even longer we may have to cut some of our flights as the operating costs will get even higher,” an airline executive said.

Since the situation is extremely volatile and dynamic, operators have been asked to make an assessment in real time before operating flights in the region.The difference between DGCA’s earlier March 11 and Thursday’s directive is that the airspace hazard description now includes “weapons interceptions”. Now, airlines have been asked to operate above 32,000 feet in certain airspaces in Saudi and Oman that are currently being used for overflying.Third, airlines have to now implement “robust monitoring and risk assessment processes”. Finally, they have to advise crew of airborne flights with latest notice to airmen (NOTAM) and airspace restrictions.The conflict is rapidly expanding into new areas, said airline executives. As operating costs will rise exponentially, airlines may cut flights as fares will rise further allowing essential travel only. Indian airlines are waiting for the month-end and fear a steep rise in jet fuel prices. The challenge for Indian airlines has spiked as they are unable to use Pakistan’s airspace due to the outbreak of recent hostilities.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosMoD Reveals India Exploring Joining GCAP Or FCAS Sixth Generation Fighter ProgrammePM Modi Speaks To Bahrain King, Condemns Attacks On Energy Infra, Stresses Secure Shipping RoutesTrump Sending Troops To Strait Of Hormuz?; ‘Iran Being Decimated’: Bibi Denies Dragging U.S Into WarDiplomacy In New Avatar: Why Vikram Doraiwami Picked Chinese Name Wei Jiameng As India’s New EnvoyHow Iran’s Attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan Gas Hub Sparks India’s Energy EmergencyIndian National Killed In Riyadh, MEA Confirms Total 6 Dead, 1 Missing Amid Israel-Iran WarRussia Tip Off Led To NIA Arrest Of Matthew VanDyke, Global Insurgency Network Exposed In Northeast’Some Say India Can Stop The War’: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s Big StatementPremium Petrol Prices Hiked By Up To ₹2.35 Per Litre In India Amid West Asia ConflictPakistan’s Fake War Narrative Exposed: India Busts Digital Attack After Iran’s IRIS Dena Strike123PhotostoriesMen’s health: Doctor shares early signs of low testosterone and if over-the-counter supplements helpFrom losing his mother at the age of 2 to delivering 15 flop Bhojpuri films and earning Rs 1.5 lakh per episode of Comedy Circus, When Krushna Abhishek opened up about his struggle8 desi vegetables that are actually foreign12 strangest place names in the world and the stories behind themEid Mubarak 2026: 6 traditional Seviyan preparations that complete the Eid feasting5 most scenic riverside retreats in India perfect for April travel5 advanced features in bikes that enhance performanceWhy no one stays in this forest after sunset: Unraveling the mystery of Nidhi Van6 spiritual cities emerging as India’s real estate hotspots in 20265 ways to use avocado peel in daily meal plans123Hot PicksIran newsGautam SinghaniaStrait of HormuzGold rate todayIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays March 2026Bank Holidays MarchTop TrendingIga SwiatekAir India Boeing 77760% free seat ruleQatar LNG ExportsMojtaba KhameneiJames GraceySpring EquinoxDiesel price hike8th Pay CommissionPremium Petrol Price Hike
