			<title>Assam budget proposes welfare ban, dismissal for those practising polygamy The Assam government on Friday proposed dismissing government employees found guilty of practising polygamy, according to the state Budget presented by Finance Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah. The Budget also proposed barring people practising polygamy from availing benefits under state-run welfare schemes&#8221;Speaker Sir, in order to promote women&#8217;s empowerment and gender justice, any male practising polygamy shall not be eligible to avail benefits under any government welfare scheme,&#8221; Baruah said, as cited by PTI. The Budget proposed amending the Assam Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1964, to make government employees found practising polygamy liable for dismissal from service, in accordance with the law.&#8221;To promote integrity and responsible citizenship, I propose that any person convicted of an offence under any criminal law shall not be eligible to avail benefits under notified government welfare schemes,&#8221; Baruah added. As a regular Budget could not be presented due to the election process, the government will resume its basket of welfare schemes from August onwards, he added.&#8221;The august House will appreciate the introduction of unprecedented basket of welfare schemes by our government covering various levels of beneficiaries. I propose to allocate over Rs 6,000 crore under different grants for these welfare schemes,&#8221; Baruah said. Baruah presented a Rs 2.85 lakh crore Budget for the 2026-27 financial year, proposing a fourfold increase in the tax exemption limit for small tea growers and a nearly 10-percentage-point cut in VAT on piped natural gas.The Assam Assembly last year passed The Assam Prohibition of Polygamy Bill, 2025, which seeks to ban polygamous marriages in the state and impose strict penalties on those who enter into or conceal a second marriage while the first remains legally valid.The Bill, introduced by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on the opening day of the winter session, will apply across Assam, except in Sixth Schedule areas and to members of Scheduled Tribes as defined under the Constitution.The Bill defines polygamy as entering into a marriage while either party already has a legally valid existing marriage or a living spouse from whom they have neither obtained a legal divorce nor had the marriage annulled.It provides for a punishment of up to seven years&#8217; imprisonment and a fine for anyone found guilty of entering into a polygamous marriage.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>BJP MLA questions own government sitting on resolution seeking Bharat Ratna to Savarkar NEW DELHI: In an unusual development, BJP MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar on Friday questioned the BJP-led Maharashtra government in the state assembly over the delay in taking up a resolution seeking the posthumous conferment of the Bharat Ratna on Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar (V D) Savarkar.Raising the matter on the last day of the monsoon session, Mungantiwar said the resolution, which he had moved in the assembly in March, had still not been brought before the House despite an earlier assurance from Speaker Rahul Narwekar.He also used the opportunity to question whether the government&#8217;s ideological position had changed after assuming power.&#8221;If your ideology has changed after coming to power, then I will never raise this issue again. But your actions do not match the ideology you claim to follow,&#8221; PTI quoted him saying.&#8221;When a party comes to power, it should not change its ideology. If the government&#8217;s stand on this issue has changed, it should say so openly,&#8221; he added.In March this year, Mungantiwar had moved a resolution in the assembly seeking the posthumous conferment of Bharat Ratna, the country&#8217;s highest civilian award, on Savarkar. &#8220;Veer Savarkar suffered torture at the hands of the British. At least we should not, even unknowingly, make him suffer through our own delay. We only have to pass a resolution. Does even a file have to suffer for so long? It has been two sessions &#8212; from March 5 to July 10,&#8221; he said.Expressing disappointment, the senior BJP legislator said, &#8220;It pains me that as a worker who has devoted his life to Savarkar&#8217;s ideology, our own government appears to be sitting on the file. I regret this deeply. Henceforth, I will never raise this issue again.&#8221;The Speaker said that the government had informed the Chair that it continued to pursue the matter and assured members that it would be taken up by the BAC in the next session.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>A bench comprising CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana will hear three petitions on Monday NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will hear a batch of petitions on July 13 seeking an independent and time-bound probe into the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.According to the Supreme Court&#8217;s website, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana will hear three petitions after the apex court reopens on Monday.The pleas seek a court-monitored Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged financial irregularities involving the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which manages the affairs of the Ram temple.Petitioners seek CBI probe, forensic auditOne of the petitions, filed by Narendra Kumar Goswami, seeks a CBI investigation into the alleged embezzlement along with a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit of the Trust&#8217;s finances.Another petition filed by practising advocates Ajay Kumar Rai and Dinesh Kumar Yadav has sought the constitution of a CBI-led multi-disciplinary Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the alleged financial irregularities and other purported illegalities concerning the Trust&#8217;s administration.The petition has also sought directions to the Centre, the Uttar Pradesh government and the Trust to establish regulatory, supervisory and audit mechanisms to safeguard public interest and maintain the confidence of millions of devotees and donors.&#8221;Whether or not the reports regarding missing funds and other alleged irregularities concerning the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust are ultimately found to be true, such reports have caused deep concern among the generations that struggled for the restoration of the glory of Ayodhya,&#8221; the plea stated.The petition further argued that the Uttar Pradesh government&#8217;s SIT began its inquiry without registration of an FIR or any regular criminal case, and said the allegations should be independently verified through a professional agency with expertise in complex financial investigations.A third petition, filed by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Sudhakar Singh, has sought a Supreme Court-monitored CBI probe as well as a forensic audit of the Trust&#8217;s entire finances.Investigation underway, eight accused arrestedThe hearing comes as the investigation into the alleged embezzlement continues in Uttar Pradesh.On July 7, an Ayodhya court granted one-day police custody of three of the eight accused arrested in the case — Anukalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra and Karunesh Pandey. Earlier, on June 29, a local court had sent all eight accused to 14 days of judicial custody.The Uttar Pradesh government had constituted a three-member SIT on June 13 following a request from the temple trust after allegations of misappropriation of donations surfaced.The SIT comprises Lucknow divisional commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant, inspector general of police Kiran S and Special Secretary (Finance) Neel Ratan.The SIT&#8217;s preliminary probe has pointed to serious security lapses in the temple&#8217;s counting room and suggested that the alleged theft was &#8220;systematic&#8221; and repeated rather than isolated.The investigation reportedly found around 70 suspicious incidents between April 27 and June 5 after reviewing CCTV footage, in which counting staff were allegedly seen concealing bundles of cash in their clothes, pockets, shoes and other personal belongings.The preliminary findings also highlighted weaknesses in security arrangements, including the absence of frisking of staff at entry and exit points of the counting hall and inadequate monitoring of personal belongings.Temple trust member backs investigationAmid the ongoing controversy, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Trust member Mahant Dinendra Das Maharaj expressed confidence in the investigation and dismissed reports suggesting that the VIP darshan pass IDs of senior Trust functionaries had been blocked.&#8221;There is no issue as of now. This is still in place. I have no details otherwise; the existing system still continues,&#8221; he told news agency ANI while confirming that passes continue to be issued using trust general secretary Champat Rai&#8217;s ID.On the investigation, he said, &#8220;We have faith in Ram Lalla, and the chief minister and the administration are fully aware and involved. We have full faith in the police; they are performing their duty. They will catch the thieves in every way and will also punish them.&#8221;The alleged embezzlement has triggered a political controversy in Uttar Pradesh, with opposition parties demanding accountability while chief minister Yogi Adityanath has assured strict action against anyone found guilty of misappropriating donations meant for the temple.Get the latest India news and live updates.
