			<title>SC judge says Article 124(3) provision for appointing distinguished jurists as apex court judges remains unused for 76 years. NEW DELHI: Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, a Supreme Court judge, Sunday said though Article 124(3) permitted appointment of ‘distinguished jurists’ as judges of the apex court, it was regrettable that this provision had remained one of our Constitution’s unused mandates.“No jurist has been appointed so far to SC though Constitution has completed more than 76 years,” he said, adding that either Centre earlier or the collegium thereafter was not convinced about the depth in Indian academia or had not seriously explored Article 124(3) so far.Addressing the convocation of LLM students at National Law University, Delhi, Justice Bhuyan said, “No legal academic has yet been appointed as a judge of SC, despite there being brilliant minds who could have made a substantial contribution had they become part of the bench.”Addressing the ‘lack of practical experience’ argument against elevation of jurists as judges, he said, “SC is not only the highest adjudicatory body but it is the moral, legal and constitutional conscience-keeper of the nation. It is above technicalities.”Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe objective behind appointing ‘distinguished jurists’ as SC judges is to diversify as they “can be a great value addition to the bench”, he said, adding, “By his or her scholarship, he or she can make a visible contribution to the decision-making process at the top level. Participation of renowned legal academia and scholars would have a defining impact on the judicial functioning of Supreme Court.”He said academics were routinely appointed as judges to constitutional courts in US, UK, Canada and Kenya. In America, they could practise as long as it did not interfere with academic sessions, but this practice was opposed here by rule 49 of Bar Council of India, he said.In US, Felix Frankfurter became the first jurist to be an SC judge, picked by Theodore Roosevelt in 1939. Thereafter, several from legal academia have been appointed as US supreme court judges, many of whom had teaching experience prior to this role.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Sonam Wangchuk says CJP organisers may have political ambitions, but that&#8217;s acceptable if platform remains non-party. NEW DELHI: Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has said Abhijit Dipke and his fellow organisers of the Cockroach Janta Party movement appear to have political ambitions, but there is nothing objectionable in this as long as the student platform retains its non-party character.Wangchuk, in a Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast, said Dipke and the others had not disclosed any plans to him and his view was based on his own assessment. “Political ambition is very normal,” he said. “Past political connections I don’t care about, present and future political aspirations are not a problem.”“They are not such saints that they want absolutely nothing and are doing all this entirely selflessly,” he said, referring to the possibility that the organisers had personal or political aspirations.Assessing their suitability for leadership, Wangchuk described the organisers as “well meaning”, “quite skilled” and “above average”.“Well meaning but unskilled” could create difficulties, while “very skilled but ill meaning” would pose a much greater danger, he said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAsked whether they could become corrupt, Wangchuk said he had seen no such indications. “People go through changes, and I hope they won’t,” he said.Wangchuk said the organisers could join an existing party or launch a new one later, but must not turn the CJP platform into their political vehicle. He said he had advised them to preserve it as a “neutral, apolitical pressure group”, arguing that this would help retain the trust of supporters who saw it as a students’ movement rather than an organisation aligned with BJP, Congress or AAP.Wangchuk acknowledged that his own standards sometimes led him to expect public figures to have no political ambition. That, he said, could be unrealistic because the organisers were ordinary people entitled to pursue political careers. Beginning such a career by championing an education-related cause could, in fact, be positive.He also expressed hope that participation in the movement would help them emerge as more mature and grounded politicians. “I am actually happy about that,” Wangchuk said of their taking up public issues.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>PM Modi may hold bilateral meeting with Iranian President Pezeshkian at SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan, their first since the war in the Middle East. PM Narendra Modi may have a bilateral meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan Monday, official sources said. While Modi landed in Bishkek Sunday, the president was scheduled to arrive Monday morning, according to reports from Tehran.Sources said efforts were on to schedule a meeting between the leaders Monday. This would be the first in-person meeting between Modi and Pezeshkian since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran on Feb 28.The two, in fact, had last met on the margins of the Brics summit in Russia&#8217;s Kazan in 2024. However, both have spoken with each other on several occasions, including after the West Asia conflict erupted, with Modi stressing the India remains a friend of Iran. Pezeshkian is also likely to visit India for the Brics summit next month.If it happens, the meeting will see Modi reiterate India&#8217;s position that all issues must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. He&#8217;s also expected to highlight India&#8217;s focus on ensuring the safety and well being of Indian nationals in the region, along with the importance of unhindered transit of energy and goods. The two will also discuss trade, energy and connectivity ties that have come under strain because of the expiry of US sanctions waiver for the Chabahar port.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesIn a difficult balancing act, India has continued to maintain high-level engagement with Iran while repeatedly expressing solidarity with GCC States that came under attack from Tehran for hosting US bases. However, Tehran also expects India to call out the US and Israel for their Feb 28 strikes at the Brics forum, which is currently helmed by India.

			<title>&#8216;In a democracy, the right to question is not an act of defiance.&#8217;: Justice Bhuyan NEW DELHI: In a constitutional democracy like India, govt must listen to citizens, give space for dissent, and have institutions that are accountable to society and do not treat every dissent as a threat, Supreme Court judge Ujjal Bhuyan said on Sunday.&#8221;In a democracy, the right to question is not an act of defiance. It is an essential expression of citizenship, liberty and constitutional responsibility,&#8221; Justice Bhuyan said at a convocation ceremony at National Law University, Delhi.&#8221;If we want a democratic society that respects liberty and difference, that culture has to begin somewhere. It can only begin in our universities. A university&#8230; should be one of the first places where the habit of thinking freely begins,&#8221; he said.A university should be a space where an idea is not accepted merely because it is familiar and where students do not hesitate to ask difficult questions simply because the answer may be uncomfortable,” Justice Bhuyan said.He said India’s Constitution guarantees free speech, thinking and believing differently. “Intolerance begins to undermine that framework when disagreement or dissent is no longer treated as a legitimate difference of opinion but as something that must be silenced, rejected or punished. The ability to live with disagreement is not merely a social virtue. It is the very essence of a liberal constitutional democracy.”Justice Bhuyan said maturity of a democracy is reflected not merely in how it treated opinions that are popular, having the majoritarian mandate, but also in how it responds to opinions that are difficult, unpopular or inconvenient. “The freedom to express an opinion, to disagree with the prevailing view and to participate in public life would be meaningful only when there is space for dissent,” he added.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesHe quoted Justice O Chinnappa Reddy’s 1986 judgment in Bijoe Emmanuel case, in which the judge had said, “Our tradition teaches tolerance; our philosophy preaches tolerance; our constitution practises tolerance; let us not dilute it.”He pointed out that tolerance under our Constitution does not ask us to surrender our individuality. “It recognises that a free society would contain different opinions, beliefs and ways of looking at the world,” he said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Economic crimes move faster than treaties; global cooperation key to recovery: CJI Surya Kant NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said for every Rs 100 laundered, authorities and law enforcement agencies recovered only Re 1, mainly because of the ingenuity of economic offenders, and lack of global cooperation on extraditing fugitives.Money laundered globally in a year was more than enough to buy every single person on earth a modest laptop, CJI said at the 43rd International Symposium on Economic Crime in Cambridge Saturday. &#8220;&#8230;For every hundred parts of that wealth, ninety-nine are simply referred to in speeches and reports, while only one part is ever actually put right.&#8221;CJI Surya Kant quoted ancient Indian statesman Kautilya’s Arthashastra, which had recorded that it was impossible for an official to handle the king’s revenue and take nothing from it, and provided for an antidote through audits, cross-verification and confiscation of ill-gotten gain.Referring to India’s layered legislations against economic crimes and its balancing by judicial interventions, the CJI said though India had signed extradition and mutual legal assistance treaties with foreign jurisdictions, “the property we actually recover remains, frankly, underwhelming”.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe CJI said that illicit wealth and economic crimes moved faster than the pace of ratification of treaties and, hence, no jurisdiction, however well resourced or determined, could pursue them alone, despite the existence of provisions for non-conviction based forfeitures, unexplained wealth orders, beneficial ownership registers and financial intelligence sharing.“None of these tools is missing from our shelves. What is missing, and what each jurisdiction owes the other, is the willingness to use them together rather than one at a time: a forfeiture order in one country acted upon promptly by a registry in another, an intelligence tip followed through to an actual freeze rather than left to gather dust,” he further added.India had initiated processes for extraditions of Vijay Mallya with the UK authorities in 2017 and Nirav Modi with the US in 2018.None of them has fructified in extradition of the two, accused of misappropriating huge sums and fleeing the country.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Study finds type 2 diabetes complications differ by gender: men face higher heart and kidney risks, women more likely to develop mental health conditions. NEW DELHI: For men, type 2 diabetes more often sets the stage for heart and kidney disease; for women, the greater threat appears to be mental health problems, a new study tracking nearly 29,000 patients has found.The study, published in PLOS Medicine, followed 28,720 people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 2010 and 2020 using linked primary and secondary healthcare records in the UK. Researchers used a multi-state analysis to track the order and timing of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, end-stage renal disease and mental health conditions over a median follow-up of 6.8 years. Women were more likely than men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition.Women were more likely than men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition, including anxiety, depression or somatoform disorders, after developing diabetes. Such conditions were recorded in 8.1% of women compared with 5.3% of men.Men, meanwhile, were more likely to develop cardiovascular disease or end-stage renal disease, with 8.4% following this trajectory compared with 5.3% of women.Mental health risks are higher for women with diabetes as compared to menSenior endocrinologist Prof Ravinder Goswami of All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said diabetes can affect men and women differently. Men may develop diabetes at a younger age, while women with diabetes lose the natural protection against heart disease that is usually seen before menopause. The study also found that women with diabetes may have a higher risk of problems related to memory, thinking and mental health.However, he cautioned that these problems may not be caused by diabetes alone, as cognitive and neuropsychiatric problems are generally more common in women. He said doctors should, therefore, watch for these issues while managing diabetes.Hypertension was the most common complication after type-2 diabetes across all age groups and in both sexes. It affected 21.1% of men and 20.2% of women. Men also experienced most complications earlier than women, while women generally had a later onset of events.The study linked diabetes, mental health and mortality, finding that people who developed a mental health condition after diabetes died earlier. Among those with the same disease trajectory, men died on average nine years younger than women.Despite this, women had higher average healthcare utilisation and long-term prescribing than men. The researchers said the lower healthcare use among men in the high-risk mental health trajectory could point to gaps in engagement with healthcare services.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe findings point to the need for sex-specific diabetes care, including routine mental health screening, particularly for younger women, and earlier cardiovascular and kidney monitoring for men.The researchers further added that tracking the sequence and timing of complications could help identify patients at higher risk and enable earlier intervention. However, as an observational study, the findings cannot establish cause and effect, and differences in mental health diagnoses may partly reflect healthcare-seeking behaviour.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>NHAI has made Automated and Intelligent Machine-Aided Construction compulsory for highway projects longer than 20 km (AI generated image) NEW DELHI: National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has made Automated and Intelligent Machine-Aided Construction (AI-MC) compulsory for all highway projects longer than 20 km in length and costing over Rs 500 crore, in what’s a move aimed at addressing quality issues, which have become a major concern for govt.As per an NHAI circular issued on Friday, contractors will have to use the AI-MC system while building the road from the ground up and continuously across the entire spatial footprint of the project. The technology will be used for every major layer of highway, including embankment (raised earth foundation), subgrade (compacted soil base) and Granular Sub-Base (GSB) — the first layer of crushed stone, sand and gravel laid over the compacted soil before the road surface is built.The move is aimed at improving construction quality and ensuring roads are built with greater accuracy and uniformity. AI-MC is a construction technology with on-board computers and sensors on heavy machinery such as graders, pavers, compactors and dozers. Deployment of AI-MC aims to improve the quality, durability and transparency of road construction by replacing manual monitoring with technology-driven, real-time execution and quality control.TOI has learnt that though AI-MC was first deployed during construction of Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway, it was not used on the entire stretch and at all grades.Officials said the move is designed to minimise human errors, ensure uniform construction standards and generate digital records of every stage of construction, from earthwork to pavement laying. “The new norms make it mandatory to share real-time data with NHAI officials.

Once the contractor gets real-time data, there will be hardly any scope for sub-contractors to cut corners,” said an official.Some of the industry players in AI-MC segment said that contractors are reluctant to share real-time data with NHAI and other highway construction agencies as this makes them accountable. “Unless NHAI and other agencies get the data in real time, the impact of using the technology will be negligible. It must not be used in a piecemeal way if govt is serious about putting things in order,” said one of them.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
