Mohua flower sale norm needs a change: MLA
Madkami informed that the state government issues licenses to villagers to sell mohua flowers under the category 'Go Khadya' (cattle feed) which he said needs to be changed.
The MLA said that he suggested to simplify the rules and regulations regarding sale of mohua flower, following Chhattisgarh's model. Such changes will increase government revenue and benefit the common people, mohua flower sellers and marginal businessmen, he added.

Former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud vacates official residence
Former Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud has vacated the official residence of the head of the judiciary in the national capital. Justice Chandrachud, who was the 50th Chief Justice of India, had superannuated from the office on November 8, 2024. Recently, a controversy had arisen over his stay at the official residence of CJI at 5, Krishna Menon Marg, New Delhi, beyond permissible time. Talking to the PTI on July 7, Justice Chandrachud had cleared the air saying that his luggage was packed and he, along with his wife and children, would soon move to a paid government accommodation. Justice Chandrachud, his wife Kalpana and daughters Priyanka and Mahi, both of whom are persons with disabilities, were living in the official CJI residence. "We have actually packed up our luggage. Some of the luggage is already gone to the new house and some are kept here in the storeroom," Justice Chandrachud had said while elaborating on the reasons for his overstay. He was responding to the Supreme Court administration's communication to the Central government on his purported overstay in the official bungalow. The former CJI had bemoaned the controversy and referred to the medical condition of his daughters, who required a wheelchair-friendly home, and said that he was waiting for the new home to be ready for occupation. Referring to the sequence of events, Justice Chandrachud had said that he spoke to his successor CJI Sanjiv Khanna and told him he would return to 14, Tughlaq Road bungalow, where he lived before becoming the CJI. Justice Khanna, however, asked Justice Chandrachud to continue staying in the CJI bungalow as he did not want to shift to the official residence. On July 1, the Supreme Court administration wrote to the Centre stating that Justice Chandrachud had stayed in the CJI bungalow beyond the permissible period and sought the property to be vacated. In the communication sent to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), the Supreme Court administration had said the residence designated for the sitting Chief Justice of India ought to be returned to the court's housing pool, sources said. The letter requested the MoHUA secretary to take possession of the bungalow from the former CJI without any further delay as the permission granted to him for retention of the accommodation expired on May 31, while the prescribed six-month period of further stay under the 2022 Rules ended on May 10. Under Rule 3B of the Supreme Court Judges (Amendment) Rules, 2022, a retired Chief Justice of India can retain type VII bungalow, a level below the 5, Krishna Menon Marg bungalow, for a maximum period of six months after retirement.

Punjab and Haryana Bar Council warns advocates against promoting legal services online
The Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana (BCPH) has issued a strict warning to advocates and Bar Associations across Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh against promoting legal services through social media, influencer collaborations, or any form of online advertisement. Despite earlier advisories, the council noted a rise in instances where advocates have publicised favourable court orders, shared client photographs in newspapers, or indirectly solicited work through digital platforms. (HT File Photo) The council has clarified that such conduct constitutes a serious violation of professional ethics under Rule 36 of Chapter II, Part VI of the Bar Council of India (BCI) Rules. The council also declared that any breach of Rule 36 would be treated as professional misconduct under Section 35 of the Advocates Act, 1961, which may result in suspension or cancellation of an advocate's licence. In a detailed communication addressed to the presidents and secretaries of all Bar Associations —including tribunal, tax, and consumer forums —BCPH chairman Rakesh Gupta expressed concern over the growing trend of lawyers using promotional videos, social media content, and even client testimonials to solicit legal work despite previous directives. 'The legal profession is not a trade or commercial venture. It is a noble service rooted in public trust, and commercialisation of legal services severely undermines that trust,' it said. The council cited several judicial pronouncements reinforcing this stance, including a recent July 3, 2024, ruling by the Madras high court, which strongly condemned the advertisement of legal services as contrary to the dignity of the profession. Despite earlier advisories, the council noted a rise in instances where advocates have publicised favourable court orders, shared client photographs in newspapers, or indirectly solicited work through digital platforms. Such practices, the Bar Council said, are in direct violation of Rule 36, which explicitly bars lawyers from engaging in any form of advertisement or self-promotion — including online endorsements. It also forbids personal publicity or associating oneself with any particular cause, organisation, or past designation to gain legal work. The Bar Council further highlighted recent concerns over 'legal influencers' spreading misleading information online, regardless of their credentials. It has also made it clear that office bearers of Bar Associations will be held accountable if such practices continue under their watch. The Bar Council has directed all presidents and secretaries of Bar Associations to immediately disseminate the circular among their members and ensure strict compliance.
