Hochul issues emergency order for migrant crisis

[ad_1]

The city and the state are preparing for another wave of migrants when the federal Title 42 immigration policy lifts.
“It is a crisis situation, especially with the suspension of Title 42 on Thursday,” Hochul told reporters Tuesday on Long Island. “It’s no surprise that there will literally be thousands of more individuals coming across the border and ultimately finding their way to the state of New York.”
Hochul’s order might also seek to quell frustration in the suburbs after Adams’ announcement Friday that he would look to move some migrants to other counties to alleviate overcrowding and strained city resources.
The Republican county executives in Orange and Rockland issued state of emergency orders that will try to bar hotels from contracting with the city to house migrants, setting up a showdown among local governments.
Hochul seemed Tuesday to try to calm the fervor, suggesting she would work to find new locations, perhaps state-owned facilities, for the asylum-seekers in the city or with municipalities willing to accept them.
“We are in communication with the mayor’s team and also helping him find locations within the city limits, opening up state property and talking to other counties that are interested in having people come,” she told reporters when asked about the counties’ concerns.
The state budget approved last week included $1 billion to help the city with the surge as Adams has urged more outside resources, criticizing the federal government for not doing more.
Hochul said that the state had already deployed about 1,000 members of the National Guard to help the city, and the executive order will allow the state more easily buy food and supplies for the migrants.

She said one of the main obstacles is getting the migrants the approvals necessary to start working legally. She noted that farmers in New York, in particular, need about 5,000 more workers.
“The number one priority for those here is to be able to get a job,” Hochul said. “We want them to get employment, but there’s constraint at the federal level as far as their designation.”

High Court’s Order On Vehicle Re-Registration Implemented In JK, Details Here

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court’s judgment in Case WP(C) 669/2021 titled Zahoor Ahmad Bhat vs. Govt of J&K and Ors, regarding the re-registration of vehicles from outside Jammu & Kashmir, has been implemented by the Transport Department. As a result, the contempt petition (CCP (D) 16/2021) filed against the Department officials for non-compliance with the judgment has been closed.
According to Shahnawaz Bukhari, RTO Kashmir, this issue was raised two years ago, and more than 99% of cases are pending where a seller outside the UT transfers a car to a buyer in Kashmir, and Section 50 of the MV Act is applicable. In the case of Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, who owned a car in Delhi and changed his residence to Kashmir, section 49 of the MVA is applicable, and a case has also been filed in the Supreme Court of India in this regard.
Bukhari explained that the department is taking 9% token charges proportionate to the remaining life of the car. If someone sells the car after 11 years of its life, the department would charge proportionately to the remaining life of the vehicle. He added that owners could claim a proportionate refund from the previous state/UT, so there is no question of double tax.
He further added that the department’s intention was to provide relief to the 99% of car owners entangled in this issue. The Division Bench of the High Court, comprising Chief Justice N. Kotiswar Singh and Justice Moksha Qazmi, issued the order closing the contempt proceedings on May 3, 2023, at the petitioner’s request. The Transport Department’s compliance with the court’s judgment dated April 29, 2021, in the petitioner’s case was noted, leading to the closure of the contempt proceedings.
The closure of the proceedings will put an end to the long-drawn legal battle and provide much-needed relief, especially to those who purchased cars for commercial purposes.

Defamation case: No interim relief for Rahul as Guj HC reserves order on revision plea

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday reserved its orders in the revision plea filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with his conviction in a defamation case that subsequently led to his disqualification as a Member of Parliament.
Rahul Gandhi had appealed to the Gujarat High Court for an interim stay of his conviction until the court pronounced its order on his petition.
However, the single judge hearing the case, Justice Hemant Prachchhak, has postponed his decision until after the summer vacation, which ends on June 4.

On April 29, Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer — Abhishek Manu Singhvi, also a Congress leader, argued in the court that his client had not committed any heinous crime or an offence involving moral turpitude, which are the two tests for denying suspension of conviction.
The case stems from a 2019 rally in Kolar, Karnataka, where Rahul Gandhi had said, “Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, Narendra Modi. How come all the thieves have ‘Modi’ as a common surname?”
This remark led to a criminal defamation case being filed against him by Surat BJP legislator, Purnesh Modi.
Gandhi had been sentenced to two years in jail by a Surat court, leading to his disqualification as a Member of Parliament.
During the previous hearing, Justice Prachchhak had emphasised that Rahul Gandhi, being an elected representative of the people, should have been more cautious while making statements.

Singhvi had argued that the maximum punishment for a bailable, non-cognizable offence of two years could result in his disqualification, leading to a “very serious additional irreversible consequence to the person and the constituency he represents”.
Earlier this year, the Sessions Court in Surat had dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s plea seeking suspension of his conviction by the Magistrate court, stating that his disqualification would not result in an irreversible loss to him.

Delhi HC reserves order on PIL against sealing of school on public land

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its order on a petition seeking protection of the interests of kids enrolled in schools on public property that have been mortgaged and could be sold at auctions by banks due to debt default.
Filed in a form of Public Interest Litigation (PIL), it was listed before the division of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad.
The bench, after hearing the arguments on behalf of the petitioners and the respondents, reserved its order on the petition.

“We will pass appropriate orders. Arguments heard and order reserved,” the bench said.
In the PIL, NGO Justice for All has requested that the court to protect the fundamental right to education guaranteed to over 900 students attending Laxmi Public School in Karkardooma as well as other students attending similar schools whose land has been mortgaged and could one day be sold at auction or sealed due to loan default.
Additionally, it asks the court to issue directives for an investigation into the mortgaged status of Laxmi Public School’s leasehold property.
The land parcel belonged to the government and was given to Laxmi Educational Society under the Government Grants Act for the purpose of operating a school, according to standing counsel Santosh Kumar Tripathi and advocate Arun Panwar, who were representing the Delhi government.
The society was not permitted to deal with the land further under the Transfer of Property Act.

The Delhi government’s goal was to safeguard kids and advance education, and this land was never made accessible to the bank as any other land to be purchased from any institution, Tripathi submitted.
According to the petition, numerous institutions originally bought land for cheap before borrowing money from banks to build five-star facilities.
It claimed that this led to the commercialisation of education and increased competition for expensive education and that these institutions put children’s education at danger by mortgaging the property.
The petition was disputed by the legal counsel for the society and the school, who argued that it was a publicity stunt and that the petitioner had submitted the plea without any support or evidence, and that it should be dismissed with costs.
Things have advanced to the point where the school will be auctioned off to pay back a loan and business regulations are being implemented on school property, which is otherwise public land set aside for public institutions, the petition argues.

Rijiju lauds order of CJI-led bench allowing disability candidates in judicial services exam

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday lauded an order of the Supreme Court allowing a judicial services aspirant suffering from writer’s cramp to get a scribe to write his preliminary examination for the recruitment of civil judges in Uttarakhand.
The interim order was issued by a bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud on Saturday.
Writer’s cramp is a task-specific movement disorder that manifests itself as abnormal postures and unwanted muscle spasms that interfere with motor performance while writing.

“This is such a heart-warming action by hon’ble Chief Justice Dr D Y Chandrachud. A great relief to a divyang (person with disability) candidate who sought a scribe for the Judicial Service exam in Uttarakhand,” Rijiju tweeted.
Timely justice to a deserving person is “very satisfying”, he said, sharing a screenshot of a tweet posted by the lawyer of the candidate who had approached the top court.
The candidate, Dhananjay Kumar, had moved the Supreme Court, saying his request to the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission (UKPSC) for a scribe was rejected on April 20, days ahead of the scheduled exam.
He urged the court to allow him a scribe as he suffers from Chandrachudwriter’s cramp and submitted a certificate issued by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, dated September 25, 2017, about his condition.
Taking note of the submission by advocate Namit Saxena, appearing for Kumar, the bench, also comprising Justice P S Narasimha, issued a notice to the UKPSC and the Uttarakhand government asking why his request for a scribe was rejected. It directed them to file a response by May 12.

“We issue an ad interim direction to the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, which is in-charge of conducting the examination, to ensure that a scribe is provided to the petitioner for the ensuing examination…” the bench said.

FCIK Demands Action Against Government Order Violators

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Federation of Chambers of Industries Kashmir (FCIK) has expressed concern over non-compliance of government orders by various departments regarding the procurement of 25% of their total annual procurement of goods or services from Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and has urged for strict action against violators of orders.
In a statement issued to the press, the FCIK regretted that a government circular issued under No: FD-Code/240/2022-02-1899 dated 24-02-2023 issued by the Finance Department Codes Division, which makes it mandatory upon all government departments and Public sector undertakings to earmark and procure a minimum of 25% of the total overall annual procurement of goods or services from MSMEs, besides earmarking 3% from within the 25% target for earmarking for micro and small enterprises owned by women, was openly being flouted.
The FCIK has informed that the violation was mainly being done by the engineering departments under the garb of “providing and fixing” affixed to the nomenclature of any industrial product in their NITs to convert its configuration to a so-called works contract. “In some cases where the engineering departments make it open for both MSMEs and the contractors, the work order is grabbed by the latter for having quoted lesser rates than a manufacturing unit,” said the spokesman of FCIK, surprised that “how was it possible that a contractor who ought to procure industrial goods from a manufacturing unit before their installation could win the very contract from the same manufacturing unit in a tendering competition”.
The FCIK has drawn attention to the government towards the use of untested, unauthentic, low-quality, and deviation in the use of material in many of these works contracts. “Whereas the power transformers, conductors, and other equipment manufactured by the local industry were subjected to multiple and rigorous testing before delivery, such a process was dormant in most of the works contracts,” said FCIK, adding that this paved the way for the installation of untested and substandard goods. It has also been observed that many contractors were using imported deodar-resembling timber against the specified deodar specie mentioned in the contracts, informed FCIK. “Such imported timber is far less in cost than Deodar, which is sold only by the J&K State Forest Corporation alone,” said FCIK, adding that “departments required to ascertain in the first instance that how could a contractor quote rates below the average sale price of JKSFC if he didn’t intend to deviate from specifications later”. FCIK had recently taken up the matter of the use of Rajasthani Kota stone in place of local devri stone tiles in the “smart city project” which amounted to brazen deviation from the specifications. All such quality issues could be taken care of only when these industrial goods were procured by industrial units, claimed FCIK.
FCIK has urged upon all Administrative departments to monitor that their subordinate offices adhere to the government instructions regarding earmarking and procurement of 25% of their annual requirements from MSMEs besides segregating industrial goods from works contracts. The Finance department has already established that a meager cost towards the installation of an industrial product could not change its nomenclature to a works contract, informed FCIK.
FCIK has invited the attention of Principal Secretary PWD and Chief Engineer R&B towards the NIT No: 05 of R&B/Khanabal/2023-24/E-Tendering/1035-44 dated 24-04-2023 issued by Executive Engineer, R&B Division, Khanabal for 16 various works and has sought their intervention in making the concerned to change the eligibility criteria for specified industrial related works to keep it restricted to registered MSMEs only.

Shraddha Walkar murder: Court likely to pass order on charges against Poonawala on Saturday

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A Delhi court is likely to pronounce on Saturday its order on framing charges against Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body into pieces.
The Delhi Police is also scheduled to file tomorrow its reply to an application of Walkar’s father before the court, urging it that her remains be handed over to the family for last rites as required by tradition and culture.
Additional Sessions Judge Manisha Khurana Kakkar reserved order on April 15 after hearing arguments on framing of charges from the prosecution lawyers as well as the accused.

The probe agency on April 15 had sought time to file its reply to Walkar’s father’s application.
Poonawala has been booked by Delhi Police for offences under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence).
The Delhi Police filed a 6,629-page charge sheet in the case on January 24.
Walkar was allegedly strangled by Poonawala on May 18 last year, following which he sawed her body into pieces and kept them in a fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
He scattered them at different places in the national capital to avoid being caught.

Swiggy begins charging Rs 2 ‘platform fee’ per food order from users

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Online food delivery platform Swiggy has started charging all users a “platform fee” of Rs 2 per food order, irrespective of the cart value.
The company told IANS that the additional charges are being levied only on food orders on the main platform and does not apply on Instamart users.
“The platform fee is a nominal flat fee charged on food orders. This fee helps us operate and improve our platform and enhance app features to deliver a seamless app experience,” a Swiggy spokesperson said in a statement.

The platform fee is over and above the convenience and handling fees for food delivery.
As last reported, Swiggy claimed to have processed over 1.5-2 million orders through the day.
People in Hyderabad ordered a whopping 10 lakh biryanis and 4 lakh plates of haleem on leading food-delivery platform Swiggy during the holy month of Ramzan.
In March, the online food delivery platform said it delivered 33 million plates of idlis in the last 12 months, indicating the immense popularity of this dish among customers.
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai were the top three cities where idlis were ordered the most.

The company, on average, has over 2.5 lakh restaurant partners enabled on its platform, and typically onboards about 10,000 restaurants every month.
