Centre appoints three judicial officers as Delhi high court judges, raising strength to 43
The Centre on Tuesday notified the appointment of three judicial officers—Vinod Kumar, Shail Jain, and Madhu Jain—as judges of the Delhi high court, taking its working strength to 43 against the sanctioned 60. Tuesday's notification comes a day after six judges—justices V Kameshwar Rao, Nitin Wasudeo Sambre, Vivek Chaudhary, Anil Kshetrapal, Arun Kumar Monga, and Om Prakash Shukla—were sworn in by chief justice DK Upadhyay as judges of the Delhi high court. (Shutterstock/representational image) Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced the appointments on X. 'In exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution of India, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the President is pleased to appoint the following as judges of the Delhi High Court: Shri Vinod Kumar, judicial officer; Smt Shail Jain, judicial officer; and Smt Madhu Jain, judicial officer,' Meghwal posted. The three officers, who joined the Delhi Judicial Service in 1992, were serving as principal district and sessions judges at various trial courts prior to their elevation -- Kumar was posted at Karkardooma court, Madhu Jain at Tis Hazari court, and Shail Jain at Saket court. The Supreme Court collegium headed by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on July 1 had recommended the names of judicial officers Shail Jain and Madhu Jain as judges of the Delhi high court. A day later, the collegium had also recommended judicial officer Vinod Kumar's name. Tuesday's notification comes a day after six judges—justices V Kameshwar Rao, Nitin Wasudeo Sambre, Vivek Chaudhary, Anil Kshetrapal, Arun Kumar Monga, and Om Prakash Shukla—were sworn in by chief justice DK Upadhyay as judges of the Delhi high court. Among them, justice V Kameshwar Rao was repatriated to Delhi from Karnataka, justice Nitin Sambre was transferred from the Bombay high court, while justices Vivek Chaudhary and Om Prakash Shukla came from the Allahabad high court. Justices Anil Kshetrapal and Arun Kumar Monga were transferred from the high courts of Punjab & Haryana and Rajasthan, respectively. The induction of the six judges resulted in a significant shake-up in the administrative, judicial, and collegium structures of the court. It altered the seniority hierarchy, led to a major reshuffling of the judicial roster—the allocation of case types to individual judges—and gave a much-needed boost to the court's depleted strength. The induction of three additional judicial officers will not only further bolster the strength of the high court but also enhance the representation of women on the bench. The Delhi high court currently has nine women judges and the swearing-in of Madhu Jain and Shail Jain will take that number to eleven. .

Residents' body slams Panchkula Municipal Corporation for not adjusting garbage tax refunds in 2025-26 bills
The Citizens' Welfare Association (CWA), an apex body of Panchkula residents, has accused the municipal corporation of ignoring Haryana government directions and public sentiment by continuing to levy garbage collection charges in the property tax bills for 2025–26 without adjusting excess amounts already paid by residents last year. In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the CWA said that despite a Haryana government waiver of garbage charges for the financial year 2024–25, many 'honest and good paymasters' had already paid the full amount, including the garbage tax, in anticipation that it would be adjusted in the following year's bills. However, the municipal corporation has issued fresh bills for 2025–26 without accounting for the excess amount collected in 2024–25. Residents are now being compelled to pay garbage charges again, which has sparked widespread resentment. 'MC staff are reportedly coercing residents to pay the full amount, including garbage tax, and asking them to seek refunds only after the payment is made for 2025–26,' the release stated, citing specific complaints from residents. Among the complainants are V K Jain and Madhu Jain, owners of House No. 521, Sector 15, Panchkula. In their representation to the municipal corporation commissioner and the chief minister, they stated that they had paid Rs 3,914.19, including garbage tax, on June 21, 2024 (receipt No. G13053240017906-7) but were still being asked to pay the same charges again this year. Similarly, Deepak Arora, a resident of Sector 12A, has also alleged that he was directed by municipal corporation staff to pay the garbage tax again before seeking a refund for last year's payment. The CWA also pointed out that former Speaker of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha and ex-Panchkula MLA Gyan Chand Gupta had during his tenure announced in an official booklet a policy of 'free lifting of garbage from door to door'. The booklet mentions a Rs 2.10-crore expenditure on vehicles and equipment for this purpose, assuring residents that the service would remain free of charge. The association has called for immediate corrective action and urged the chief minister, local bodies minister, and senior officials of the urban local bodies department to intervene. They demanded that no garbage fee should be collected until the system is made 'smooth and foolproof' and that the municipal corporation must first refund excess charges paid in 2024–25 before collecting any new amounts. 'It is imperative that the honest taxpayers are not penalised. The municipal corporation must stop collecting advance garbage fees until pending adjustments are made,' said CWA president S K Nayar. The association warned that failure to address the issue would only deepen public dissatisfaction and further erode trust in civic authorities.
