Supreme Court blocks Calcutta High Court order staying new OBC list in Bengal
The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked a Calcutta High Court order that had put a stay on the implementation of the TMC-led West Bengal government's new list of Other Backward Classes (OBCs). Calling it "surprising" and seemingly "erroneous", a bench headed by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai urged the Chief Justice of the high court to place the dispute before a bench different from the one that had ordered the stay.

The top court also asked the high court to take a final decision in a time-bound manner. "This is surprising. How can the high court stay? Reservation is a part of the functions of the will request the Chief Justice to place it before some other bench," Chief Justice Gavai, speaking for the bench, said. The bench said prima facie the high court's stay order appears to be "erroneous". "The (State Backward classes) Commission has followed some methodology (before proposing changes to the OBC list). Whether it is correct or not correct, let the high court see. Prima facie, the (high court's stay) order is completely erroneous," the CJI observed. "We will request the high court to do it (decide on the matter) in six weeks. We can request the Chief Justice (of the high court) to constitute a special bench." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Colombia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo

DGCA Cracks Down On Air India For Lapse In Planes Emergency Slide Check
New Delhi: Civil Aviation regulator DGCA has initiated enforcement action against Air India after an audit revealed that the inspection of an emergency slide was overdue in an aircraft, Parliament was informed on Monday. "DGCA immediately grounded the aircraft till the required rectification was carried out. DGCA has initiated enforcement action against Air India and the responsible personnel as per the Enforcement Policy and Procedure Manual of DGCA," Minister of State (MoS) for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, said in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha. The Minister's response came to a question raised by DMK member Tiruchi Siva on whether the government is aware that aircraft operated by Air India, in the weeks preceding the crash of flight AI 171 in June, were allowed to fly with overdue emergency slide inspections, in violation of mandatory safety norms. The MP also wanted to know whether accountability has been fixed on the DGCA for regulatory oversight failure. The minister said DGCA ensures that airlines comply with all safety and maintenance standards by conducting surveillance, spot checks and night surveillance, among others, of airlines and their personnel. "In case of violation, DGCA takes enforcement action in accordance with procedures prescribed in the Enforcement Policy and Procedure Manual. The enforcement action consists of warning, suspension, and cancellation, including the imposition of a financial penalty on the airlines/personnel. DGCA officials are well trained to perform the oversight and enforcement function,' the minister said. In answer to another question, the minister said 12 accidents involving scheduled registered helicopters have occurred in the last five years, in which 30 people were killed. While as many as seven of these accidents took place in Uttarakhand, four of them happened in Maharashtra, and one in Chhattisgarh, the minister said. Murlidhar Mohol told the Rajya Sabha that the DGCA has initiated additional surveillance and safety audits of helicopter operations for the Chardham Yatra. The aviation regulator has reiterated safety norms for helicopter operations in the country, including Chardham Yatra, focusing on access control, improving parking arrangements, regulating slot allocations, enhancing pilot training, and ensuring strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), he added.
