NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Union ministries of home affairs and electronics and information technology to take urgent steps to create a URL-specific and judicially supervised emergency mechanism to protect citizens from grave unlawful digital content.While disposing of a PIL by advocate N K Goswami, a bench headed by CJI Surya Kant said the petitioner in public interest had highlighted the danger from digital threats of violence, doxxing, exposure of minor children’s private details, non-consensual intimate/deepfake content and identity-manipulating digital impersonation.

In a representation to PMO in July, a parent sought uniform implementation of the SC judgement NEW DELHI: More than a year after Supreme Court ruled that residence or domicile cannot be the basis for postgraduate medical admissions under the state quota, parents of NEET-PG aspirants say admission rules still vary across states, leaving students with unequal opportunities despite having taken the same national entrance examination.The concerns stem from SC’s Jan 29, 2025, judgement in Dr Tanvi Behl vs Shrey Goel case, which held that residence-based preference in postgraduate medical admissions is not permissible. The court said admissions should be based on NEET-PG scores while allowing only limited institutional preference, meaning a student may receive preference for having graduated from a particular medical college – and not because he or she is a resident or domicile of a state.. Some states appear to have implemented the judgement, while others continue with different eligibility conditions.The dispute primarily concerns private medical colleges, where admissions are conducted through state counselling. Several states prescribe domicile or other state-specific eligibility conditions. “The intention of the SC judgement was to replace residence-based preference with institutional preference. Some states appear to have implemented the judgement, while others continue with different eligibility conditions. If these policies are challenged, the courts will decide whether they are consistent with the judgement. The Centre can still review the issue and issue uniform guidelines to states,” a health ministry official said.State counselling brochures for the NEET-PG admission process, reviewed by TOI, indeed show differences in eligibility rules. Gujarat requires additional state-specific eligibility conditions for some candidates who completed MBBS outside the state. Maharashtra allows only certain Maharashtra domicile candidates who studied outside the state to apply, while Karnataka permits candidates from other states to participate in counselling, though without Karnataka reservation benefits.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines Parents say these differences mean students with the same NEET-PG score may not have equal opportunity to compete for PG seats.In a representation to PMO in July, a parent sought uniform implementation of the SC judgement, a common national counselling portal and biannual NEET-PG examinations, arguing that students continue to face unequal admission opportunities across states.

Arunachal is an integral and inalienable part of India, and this is a self-evident fact, MEA said NEW DELHI: Arunachal Pradesh is indisputably an integral and inalienable part of India, govt asserted Tuesday in response to Beijing’s rejection of its decision to formally identify and map 27 places in the state. Following recent reports about fresh border tensions, govt also reiterated that “the state of border affairs will reflect on the state of larger bilateral ties”.The home ministry had last week identified 27 locations in Arunachal Pradesh by “standard place and feature names” on the official maps of Survey of India, saying this would facilitate their accurate recognition and better awareness among the public. China, which has at least on six occasions assigned new names to places in Arunachal to reinforce its claim over the state, called the action “illegal, null and void”.“Arunachal Pradesh is an integral and inalienable part of India, and this is a self-evident fact.
