Eid Market: Three Days Saw Modest Rs 2500 Cr Expenditure

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: With Eid being celebrated on Saturday, the markets are expected to make some good business on Friday, the last day of Ramzan fasting. Markets suffered severely in the last three days because of the downpour.
In the last three days, Jammu and Kashmir Bank officials said the people withdrew an amount of Rs 2510 crore through 59.72 lakh transactions. This was despite the fact that the bank’s online operations exhibited a serious crisis, putting its customers at embarrassment in the market.
Officials said there were 1344650 card transactions – including the ATM card, that saw a withdrawal of Rs 548.18 crore. Besides, there were 21411158 UPI transactions involving the transfer of Rs 355.99 crore. Most of the transfers, however, took place through MPay which saw 2486449 transactions involving Rs 1605 crore.
Markets sources said the transactions are actually indicating the market mess. “We used to have three times more of this expenditure in the few days ahead of Eid,” one major trader said. “It indicates that people lack enough resources and they are avoiding expenditure.”
Besides, the markets saw very modest crowds in the last three days, apparently because of the frequent rains and fall in temperature.
The priority of the people, however, is on purchasing the items of routine requirement, mostly flood. Only a small fraction of people are making purchases in apparel and other things.
Till evening, it seemed as if it was the last day of Eid. However. The Shawaal crescent was not found anywhere. In Saudi Arabia, the Eid crescent was seen and the region will have Eid on Friday. Indian subcontinent usually celebrates Eid the day after. This day is expected to help markets in making some business.

‘Lived together only for 40 days’: SC declines to dissolve marriage of couple

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has declined to use its plenary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to quash a marriage — where the parties had met on Facebook in December 2019 and got married in December 2020 as per Christian rites and customs at a Mangaluru church, noting that parties have lived together only for 40 days.
A bench of Justices Rajesh Bindal and Aravind Kumar said: “We do not find this to be a fit case for exercise of power under Article 142 of the Constitution of India as good sense may prevail on the parties. They had lived together only for 40 days. It takes time to settle down in marriage.”
The plea was filed by Mangaluru doctor and CEO of a global health organisation to use the court’s extraordinary power under the Constitution to dissolve his marriage with a permanent resident of Canada. He contended that there is an irretrievable breakdown of marriage and this court should exercise its jurisdiction under Article 142 to dissolve the marriage.

The apex court also dismissed a plea by the wife to transfer the divorce proceedings filed by her husband from Mangaluru to a court in Mumbai.
“Though, at present, considering the financial condition of the parties on the basis of material which has come on record, we do not find that any ground is made out for issuing direction to the respondent (husband) to pay the expenses to the petitioner for travelling to Mangaluru. However, still in case she feels like seeking reimbursement of expenses, she shall be at liberty to file an application before the court concerned, which may be examined on its own merits,” it said.
The bench noted that both the parties are well-educated and engaged in their own jobs and professions. She can travel to Mangaluru to attend the hearing of the case and can also seek exemption from appearance whenever required, it said.
“In our view no case is made out for transfer of the petition from Mangaluru, Karnataka to Mumbai, Maharashtra,” the bench said. The court pointed out the wife is a permanent resident of Canada and she must be travelling abroad regularly.
The top court noted that a number of transfer petitions are filed in matrimonial cases, primarily by the wives for transfer of matrimonial proceedings, initiated by the husband.

“This court normally has been accepting the prayer made while showing leniency towards ladies. In Anindita Das vs Srijit Das (2006), this court observed that may be this leniency was being misused by women. Hence, each and every case has to be considered on its own merits,” the bench said.

Alito extends reprieve for abortion pill access, maintaining status quo for 2 more days

[ad_1]

The justices are mulling whether a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals should go into effect or whether it should be blocked while further appeals proceed.
If allowed to take effect, the 5th Circuit’s April 12 ruling would suspend various policies the FDA has enacted since 2016 to make mifepristone more accessible — including telemedicine prescription, mail delivery, retail pharmacy dispensing and the approval of a generic version of the drug. The ruling also would scale back the approved “on label” use of the drug from 10 weeks of pregnancy to seven weeks — before many patients know they are pregnant.
The appeals court suggested its ruling was a middle-ground approach because it did not go along with a Texas federal judge’s order to suspend mifepristone’s registration altogether.
However, the FDA and the two drug companies that make mifepristone told the Supreme Court that the 5th Circuit’s ruling could amount to a nationwide ban of the drug because of lengthy delays in returning to labeling and protocols that have not been required for years.
Anti-abortion medical groups that are challenging the drug disputed that characterization, saying the ruling would reimpose important safety restrictions on the drug.
Alito acted single-handedly because he oversees emergency appeals from the 5th Circuit. It is not a clear signal about how Alito or the other justices will ultimately vote on whether to allow the 5th Circuit’s ruling to go into effect.

Chinese man wins 365 days paid leaves; Internet jealous

[ad_1]
An Instagram reel that mischievously went viral about “What is your dream job?” to which a voiceover replies, “Darling I have no dream job, I do not dream of labour” literally came true for this young man in China by winning a year’s paid leaves at a lucky draw in his company’s annual dinner party.
His name is not yet clear but his stars certainly aligned in the right manner as he held a giant cheque that read ‘365 days of paid leave’ in Chinese. The image has gone viral on Twitter.
According to Today Online, the chances of winning the paid leaves prize were extremely low. It reported that the lucky draw had prizes as well as penalties including a day or two of extra paid time off and serving as a waiter to others.

Chen, another employee of the company said that the event was being held after a gap of three pandemic years. She said the idea of the lucky draw was to boost the morale of employees. China has been recently imposing lockdowns due to frequent outbursts of the coronavirus.
His boss is naturally is very dumbfounded. As for the rest of the world, there are some of us on a Sunday writing this article.

Alito keeps access to abortion pill unchanged for next five days while Supreme Court reviews emergency appeals

[ad_1]

The appeals court ruling — if it takes effect — would suspend several policies the FDA has approved since 2016 to make mifepristone more accessible, including telemedicine prescription, mail delivery and retail pharmacy dispensing. The ruling also would suspend approval of the generic version of the drug and would narrow the window of time the drug can be prescribed from 10 to seven weeks of pregnancy — though off-label prescription after seven weeks would still be possible. The Biden administration warned the court in its Friday petition that letting these changes move forward would wreak “regulatory chaos” nationwide and harm patients.
The ruling had been scheduled to take effect on Saturday. But it is now temporarily frozen by Alito’s interim orders — known as administrative stays — keeping everything on hold until next Wednesday night while the justices receive further briefing and decide whether to issue a longer stay.
The anti-abortion medical groups challenging the pill’s approval have until noon on Tuesday to file responses. In a statement Friday, their attorney, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Erin Hawley, called Alito’s stay orders “standard operating procedure” that would give justices “sufficient time to consider the parties’ arguments before ruling.”
Alito’s move maintains for now the current national patchwork of abortion access, with near-total bans on all forms of abortion in many red states and broad access to both medication abortion and surgical abortion in blue states.
Alito, a George W. Bush appointee who wrote the court’s decision last year overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing a wave of GOP-led states to impose abortion bans, single-handedly issued the administrative stays on Friday because all emergency appeals from the 5th Circuit are initially directed to him. As is customary with interim orders, he did not elaborate on why he granted the temporary relief. But administrative stays are typically intended only to buy the court time in fast-moving litigation and do not foreshadow the justices’ substantive views.
The FDA did not immediately comment on the stay orders or how the agency plans to enforce the restrictions if the high court allows them to go into effect.
Abortion rights groups cheered the stay orders and vowed to keep pressing the court to permanently halt the looming restrictions on the drug. Anti-abortion groups called them disappointing, with one group, Students for Life, accusing the Supreme Court of “playing politics.”
The legal battle over mifepristone escalated last week when a federal district judge in Texas, Matthew Kacsmaryk, issued an order suspending the approval of mifepristone nationwide and halting the various moves FDA has made since 2016 to broaden access to the drug.

On Wednesday, a panel of the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit issued a 2-1 ruling putting a hold on the portion of the lower judge’s order that suspended the drug’s approval but allowing the rest of his decision to kick in on Saturday.
That prompted the Justice Department and Danco, which makes the brand-name version of mifepristone, to turn to the high court for relief. They said that even the 5th Circuit panel’s approach – leaving the drug approved but rolling back expanded access in recent years – would be highly disruptive and could force the company to stop selling and distributing the drug for months.
Adding to the turmoil is a separate ruling from a federal judge in Washington state, who last week ordered the FDA not to permit any new restrictions on access to mifepristone in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

Did Simon Doull Say Living In Pakistan Is Like Living In Hell, I Stayed Without Food For Many Days- Check Here – Kashmir News
According to police records, Asad’s elder brother Ali has four cases while the eldest brother Umar has one case against him. His father Atiq has 102 criminal cases registered against him and uncle Khalid Azeem alias Ashraf has 50 FIRs lodged against him.
Asad, considered lazy among all brothers, passed the intermediate (Class 12) examination from a prestigious school in Lucknow last year.
Asad mostly stayed in Lucknow and kept away from his father’s business and underworld activities.
Asad wanted to go out of the country for higher studies but his passport verification was rejected following his family’s criminal background. Asad was preparing to take admission in an LLB course since then.
His marriage has also been fixed with his aunt Ayesha Noorie’s daughter. Noorie is now on the run while her husband Akhlaq is in jail.

If sources are to be believed, a rebuke by his father Atiq, made Asad lead the team that killed Umesh Pal on February 24 in a daring daylight shootout.
Devastated by his son’s death, Atiq told jail officials on Thursday night in Prayagraj jail that, “I am responsible for Asad’s death.”
Ironically, the most loved child of the family will be laid to rest on Friday in the absence of his immediate family members — most of whom are either in jail or on the run.
