No further action of minimum wage revision till discussions held with industries, government assures Karnataka High Court
The State government has promised the High Court of Karnataka that no further action would be taken on the proposed draft notifications, issued in April 2025, for revision of minimum wages across 80 scheduled employments, unless meetings/discussions are held with representatives of the industry concerned. An undertaking in this regard was given by the government advocate before a Bench of Justice Anant Ramanath Hegde on June 30, during the hearing on a petition filed by Nanjappa Hospitals, Shivamogga-Davangere. The petitioner-hospitals have questioned the April 11 and 19 notifications issued by the Labour Department proposing revision of minimum wages. However, the court said that the petitioners are at liberty to move the court to seek appropriate relief if the notifications are sought to be implemented during the pendency of the petition. It was argued on behalf of the petitioners that the proposal to fix uniform wages irrespective of the industry and irrespective of the region is contrary to the object of Minimum Wages Act, 1948 while pointing out that the government is yet to convene a meeting with the industries to discuss the proposal even though the petitioners have already filed their objections to the proposed revision. Meanwhile, the Karnataka Employers' Association has claimed that the steep increase proposed in the minimum wages would deal a crippling blow to the business as a whole and to the employers as rates proposed in the draft notifications are 40% to 60% higher than the previous hike and thereby making these rates highest in the country.

Lokayukta police seek nod from Karnataka High Court to continue probe into case of extorting money from public servants citing possibility of raids
The Lokayukta police on Monday sought permission from the High Court of Karnataka to continue investigation into the case of its sleuths allegedly blackmailing several public servants with the threat of possible raids. The public are 'losing faith in the anti-corruption action of the Lokayukta police wing and are writing letters raising questions about its integrity' owing to recent allegations of extortion of crores. The continuation of the investigation, which has been stayed by the court, was needed, it was argued on behalf of the Lokayukta police. The submissions were made before a Bench of Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar during the hearing on a petition filed by IPS officer Srinath Joshi M., who was till recently serving in the Lokayukta police, regarding the notice issued to him to appear for questioning in the case. Case background Mr. Joshi was asked to appear for questioning as the Lokayukta police had found him having links with Ningappa G. alias Ningappa Savant. The latter had allegedly collected crores of rupees from several officers in various government departments by telling them that the Lokayukta police had sufficient information about their ill-gotten wealth and were likely to conduct raids. Ningappa was found to be frequently visiting the Lokayukta police office in Bengaluru to meet some officers, it was alleged. The court had stayed the notice to Mr. Joshi besides staying an investigation against Ningappa, a former head constable, who has been treated as a prime accused in the case by the Lokayukta police. Why it is essential As the court had ordered the release of Ningappa after finding a procedural flaw in his arrest, advocate for the Lokayukta police said that investigation is essential in the case as there is information about alleged involvement of insider. The allegations require a thorough investigation as the incident harmed the reputation of the Lokayukta institution while pointing out that investigation material, available in a sealed cover, would disclose reasons for registering the case under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act as there is alleged involvement of some public servants in the case.+

Embrace ideas, values of Constitution from Preamble Park: Fadnavis, Gadkari
1 2 Nagpur: Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar crafted the Indian Constitution by blending global and timeless Indian values, with the Preamble being its core. If citizens embrace the values enshrined in the Preamble, 90% of the country's issues could be resolved permanently, said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday. Fadnavis was speaking during the inauguration of the Constitution Preamble Park and a full-length statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan Gavai on the premises of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar School of Law. Union minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari , said the park will spread the Constitution's fundamental ideas among students and the public. Fadnavis stated that it is a matter of great pride and satisfaction for him that the Constitution Preamble Park and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue are being unveiled at the same law college where he studied constitutional principles and put them into practice. The CM stressed that completion and public opening of this park during the Amrit Mahotsav year of the Constitution is particularly significant. "The Indian Constitution has established a robust democracy, ensuring freedom of expression, fundamental rights, equal opportunities, and a system for delivering justice. This has enabled India to become the world's fourth-largest economy. The Preamble is the essence of the Constitution, and its values need to be embraced by all citizens," he said. Fadnavis expressed confidence that the park will inspire everyone who visits it. He also announced that a new building for the School of Law would be constructed, and all necessary facilities would be provided for the park. Gadkari said Nagpur University took the initiative to establish the Constitution Preamble Park, which was realised with financial support from the state govt and public participation. He highlighted that the university has produced eminent personalities like a Prime Minister, while Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Law College has given the country two CJIs. "The establishment of the park adds to this legacy," he said. Social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat discussed the financial and other support provided by the social justice ministry for the park's establishment. Senior social activist and chairman of the Constitution Preamble Park Committee, Girish Gandhi, provided details of the park's development stages. Nagpur University acting VC Madhavi Khode-Chaware, School of Law director Ravishankar Mor, Constitution Preamble Park Committee members and others were present on the occasion.
