SC collegium recalls recommendation to transfer Justice Muralidhar to Madras HC

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court collegium on Wednesday recalled its earlier recommendation to transfer Orissa High Court Chief Justice S. Muralidhar to Madras High Court.
The collegium, headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, in a statement uploaded on apex court’s website, said: “The collegium resolved on 28 September 2022 to transfer Dr Justice S Muralidhar, Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa to the Madras High Court. The recommendation has remained pending with the Government of India since then without any response. Dr Justice Muralidhar now demits office on 7 August 2023 leaving less than 4 months’ time.”
“In view of this delay, the resolution recommending the transfer of Dr Justice S. Muralidhar is recalled to facilitate the appointment of a permanent Chief Justice in the Madras High Court by the appointment of Justice S.V. Gangapurwala as its Chief Justice, as the High Court has remained without a permanent Chief Justice for more than 6 months.”

Oscar winner Guneet Monga’s teacher recalls her as ‘highly creative’

[ad_1]
Lucknow: Oscar winner Guneet Monga has a Lucknow connection.
Prof Govind Pandey, the Dean of the department of mass communication and journalism of the School of Media and Communication at Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, was proud to share that he taught Guneet at Madhu Bala Institute of Communication and Electronic Media (MBICEM) affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in 2002.
“Guneet Monga was a student of Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication at MBICEM where I taught television journalism and was supervising the short films at the institute as well,” Prof Pandey said.
He further said, “She was creative since college days and actively participated in cocurricular activities. I pray Guneet motivates others to make meaningful documentaries. As a teacher, I pray that she gets more and more awards and motivates many more young filmmakers to make meaningful documentary films. Her Oscar-winning film is a great example of the peaceful living of humans, and animals in their natural habitat.”
Zoologist Gyaneshwar Shukla said, “Elephant Whisperers” that won Guneet an Oscar, is a very informative documentary depicting our wildlife heritage and man-animal especially pachyderm coexistence and sustainability of social eco-system. Unfortunately, our universities are producing hundreds of graduates, postgraduates and doctorates in zoology but not a single zoologist can match this production. This can serve as an eye-opener to change and modify curricula to encourage more such productions as we have the richest biodiversity and legacy of living with our animals.”
This is Monga’s second Oscar.
Earlier, she had won it in 2019 for ‘Period. End Of Sentence’, in Documentary Short category. Monga was the executive producer for ‘Period’.

Asim Riaz recalls the day Sidharth Shukla died, says ‘knew it before..’

[ad_1]
Mumbai: A total of 16 seasons of popular television reality show Bigg Boss ended successfully but the most talked ever would probably be the 13th one. The two arch-rivals of Bigg Boss season 13 Sidharth Shukla and Asim Riaz were the main entertainers of the audiences and fans still share their moments and tiffs on various social media platforms. The arch-enemies inside Bigg Boss’s house turned out to be good friends outside later.
Asim Riaz has been seen often sharing with fans and media about his relationship with Sidharth Sukhla. The first runner-up of the BB 13 has recently made a shocking statement about the death of Sidharth Shukla.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Asim said, “He came in my dream bro, I swear. I knew it before (it happened). I had a call from one of my cousins, Ruhaan called me up, usne mujhe bola bhai news on karna (He asked me to switch on the news), he didn’t tell me because he knows how emotional and how sensitive I am.”
“I have spent 140 days with him in that house and I was really connected because I had no friend outside and aisa connection kisi se hua hi nahi kabhi bhai, matlab ladna toh 4-4 din, hasna toh 4-4 din (I have never had such a connection where we fought for 4 days continuously and then laughed continuously for 4 days),” he added.
Despite sharing a good bond with Sidharth Sukhla later, Asim Raiz still claims that his friend’s victory was rigged. He maintained that he was far more deserved than the late Sidharth Shukla.
In the same interview with Siddharth Kannan, Asim said, “Mere dauraan unhone kya kiya (during my trip what they did), since they didn’t want me to win, haanji bhai aaj hum online voting khol denge 15 min ke liye, jitana hai jitao jisko (they opened online voting and said, make whoever you want to win). Just say you don’t want to see me win, and it’ll be OK. You made it so plain that we had to think you did whatever you did, and I was like, alright.”
It seems that Asim Riaz is still holding grudges against the Bigg Boss management but at the same time, he feels bad for losing one of his good friends. He was among the first to arrive at the Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, where Sidharth’s body was brought for a postmortem. Sidharth Sukhla died on September 2 in 2021.

Tesla recalls 362,000 vehicles over self-driving software flaws that risk crashes

[ad_1]
Tesla said it would recall 362,000 US vehicles to update its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software after regulators said on Thursday the driver assistance system did not adequately adhere to traffic safety laws and could cause crashes.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the Tesla software allows a vehicle to “exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash”.
Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update free of charge, and the electric vehicle maker said is not aware of any injuries or deaths that may be related to the recall issue. The automaker said it had 18 warranty claims.
Tesla shares were down 1.6% at $210.76 on Thursday afternoon.
The recall covers 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with FSD Beta software or pending installation.
NHTSA asked Tesla to recall the vehicles, but the company said despite the recall it did not concur in NHTSA’s analysis. The move is a rare intervention by federal regulators in a real-world testing program that the company sees as crucial to the development of cars that can drive themselves. FSD Beta is used by hundreds of thousands of Tesla customers.
The setback for Tesla’s automated driving effort comes about two weeks before the company’s March 1 investor day, during which Chief Executive Elon Musk is expected to promote the EV maker’s artificial intelligence capability and plans to expand its vehicle lineup.
Tesla could not immediately be reached for comment.

NHTSA has an ongoing investigation it opened in 2021 into 830,000 Tesla vehicles with driver assistance system Autopilot over a string of crashes with parked emergency vehicles. NHTSA is reviewing whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention. NHTSA said on Thursday despite the FSD recall its “investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot and associated vehicle systems remains open and active.”
Tesla said in “certain rare circumstances … the feature could potentially infringe upon local traffic laws or customs while executing certain driving maneuvers”.
Possible situations where the problem could occur include traveling or turning through certain intersections during a yellow traffic light and making a lane change out of certain turn-only lanes to continue traveling straight, NHTSA said.
NHTSA said “the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle’s speed to exceed posted speed limits.”
Last year, Tesla recalled nearly 54,000 US vehicles with FSD Beta software that may allow some models to conduct “rolling stops” and not come to a complete stop at some intersections, posing a safety risk, NHTSA said.
Tesla and NHTSA say FSD’s advanced driving features do not make the cars autonomous and require drivers to pay attention.

Hindu Conclave: Kerala Governor recalls words of Aligarh Muslim University founder

[ad_1]
Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Saturday recalled the words of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, founder of the Aligarh Muslim University who was said to have urged to call him a “Hindu” over a century ago.
While speaking at a Hindu conclave here, the Governor quoted the reported words of Sir Syed Khan that “you must call me a Hindu” which he had made during an Arya Samaj meeting.
Khan said Sir Syed was given a reception by the Samaj members when he completed his tenure in the Legislative Council during the colonial regime.
Recalling the words of the reformer-educationalist, Khan said he had asked the Samaj members why they didn’t call him a Hindu and made it clear that he did not consider “Hindu” as a religious term.
“But, my serious complaint against you (Arya Samaj members) is that why don’t you call me a Hindu? I do not consider Hindu as a religious term…Hindu is a geographical term,” the Governor said recalling Syed Ahmed Khan’s words.
Anybody who is born in India, anybody who lives on the food which is produced in India, anybody who drinks water from the rivers of India is entitled to call himself a Hindu and so “you must call me a Hindu”, Khan said quoting the Aligarh University founder’s words.
Arif Mohammed Khan also said it was “perfectly fine” to use the terminology like Hindu, Muslim and Sikh during the colonial era because the Britishers had made the communities as the basis for deciding even the ordinary rights of citizens.
The conclave was organised by the outfit Kerala Hindus of North America (KHNA).

Union Minister V Muraleedharan took part in the concluding session of the conclave held at Muscat hotel here.
He alleged a conspiracy has been going on in the state to make it feel that it is wrong to say “I am a Hindu”.
Even before independence, the kings and rulers of the country, who believed in “sanatana dharma”, had accepted all religious groups with open arms, he said.
In the same manner that the union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is opening the door for people suffering persecution in neigbouring countries, he said.
The union minister also stressed the need to bring all those who believe in “Sanatana Dharma” under one roof.
