who-is-v-mohana-the-senior-advocate-recommended-as-a-supreme-court-judge

In a significant move to fill vacancies, the Supreme Court Collegium on Wednesday recommended the appointment of senior advocate V. Mohana to the rank of a judge at the apex court. If appointed, the senior advocate will become the second woman from Tamil Nadu to reach the post after Justice R. Banumathi, and the second from the Bar after Justice Indu Malhotra. Other judges who were recommended for the same post includeJustice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court; Justice Shree Chandrashekhar, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court; Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court; and Justice Arun Palli, Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court. Designated as a senior advocate in the Supreme Court in April 2015, Mohana has worked with prolific faces in the legal and political community, such as Kapil Sibal, K.K. Venugopal, P. Chidambaram, Arun Jaitley, and T. Andhyarujina, among others, and was also a panel lawyer for the Government of India. The path to the Supreme Court V. Mohana, who studied law at the Coimbatore Law College, graduated in 1988 from what was India's first-ever batch of the five-year integrated law course, introduced in 1983. After graduation, she continued an internshipthat she had begun during her college educationin the office ofM. Panchapakesan, working in Tamil Nadu's trial courts till 1992, when she decided to move to Delhi to work under Justice Indu Malhotra, who was then an advocate-on-record. It was difficult for women in those days to get cases of their own, especially in small cities ...Delhi provides lots of opportunities, definitely better than any other city. Because you have trial courts, high court, administrative tribunal, MRTP commission (now Competition Commission, Competition Appellate Tribunal), CESTAT, Army Tribunal, etc. and of course the Honble Supreme Court of India. So there is a varied practice and scope for every field, she recounted in a 2015 interview with Superlawyer . She then moved to the chambers of Senior Advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan, where she worked in several cases widely reported between 1992 and 1996, such as the Amratlal Prajivandas case, McDowell case, and the Jain commission case after the death of Rajiv Gandhi. Over the years, V. Mohana moved up the ladder, earning her a role in theNational Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission back when it was newly formed, as well as additional roles as a Supreme Court mediator and an honorary editor for the Supreme Court Reports (SCR) before the SCR got its own editors. Most importantly, she was a panel lawyer for the apex court's legal services committee, working in a lot of cases between 1996 and 2013, before she was elevated to her present position on April 23, 2015. People have started recognising women lawyers and their good work. But there should be more designations and elevations from the womens section. Women should also work harder and continue to work with sincerity and dedication, she added in the interview.

aiadmk-rebellion-and-patch-up-why-most-rebel-mlas-chose-to-return-after-a-few-joined-tvk

Two weeks after the dissent, the AIADMK factions patched up on Wednesday, with the rebel camp officially claiming that there was no split in the party and that it was only a difference of opinion. The AIADMK legislative party had split into two factions with one led by its general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) and the other led by its Coimbatore strongman S.P. Velumani and Villupuram stalwart C.Ve.Shanmugam. A batch of the rebel MLAs, who voted in favour of the TVK government during the trust vote on May 13, called on EPS at his residence in Chennai. While Velumani and a few others expressed their support for EPS, the absence of C.Ve. Shanmugam led to speculations. But Velumani claimed that Shanmugam was with them and there was no dissent within the party. Shortly after calling on Palaniswami, Velumani met Tamil Nadu Assembly speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar and submitted a letter, saying that there is no split within the party. Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy and the other MLAs who petitioned the speaker and the 22 MLAs from the rebel camp who submitted a similar petition seeking to disqualify the legislators on either sides under the anti-defection law, withdrew both our petitions, Velumani, told the reporters after calling on EPS. He also said that EPS has agreed to consider their request to constitute a committee to review performance and probe reasons for the defeat in a phased manner. The truce and the dissent within Incidentally, the truce represents a high-stake defensive realignment necessitated by legislative haemorrhaging to the TVK rather than a definitive resolution of internal power asymmetries. The urgency for a truce was heightened by high-profile defections. In the past two days the party witnessed the resignations of Madurantakam MLA Maragatham Kumaravel, Perundurai MLA S. Jayakumar, Dharapuram MLA P. Sathyabama and Ambasamudram MLA Esakki Subbaiah, all of whom joined the TVK. These defections reduced the AIADMKs assembly strength from 47 to 43. Simultaneously, the rebel camps leverage collapsed as core members began a tactical retreat to the EPS fold. On May 25, five MLAsS.M. Sukumar (Arcot), P. Hari Bhaskar (Anthiyur), K. Mohan (Panruti), Dileepan Jaishankar (Sankarankoil), and N.S.N. Nataraj (Kangayam)switched loyalties back to EPS. They were followed on May 26 by P. Balakrishna Reddy (Hosur). These shifts reduced the rebel camp from its initial 25 to just 15 members, effectively stripping the Velumani-Shanmugam duo of their bargaining majority. The disqualification gambit The EPS faction, through Whip Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy, filed petitions for the disqualification of the 25 rebel MLAs under the Anti-Defection Law. The Velumani-Shanmugam camp retaliated with counter-petitions seeking to remove existing leadership and requesting the Speaker to recognise Dr C. Vijayabaskar as the new party whip. This legal stalemate created a period of administrative paralysis, leaving the partys official status in a state of suspended animation. In the meanwhile, the ruling TVK is also said to have come up with yet another plan - disqualify all the rebel MLAs and force them to join the TVK. Only after we heard that the speakers office is getting ready to disqualify all of us, we decided to get back to the parent body. We are not for a bypoll, said one of the MLAs who returned to the EPS camp. The TVK snub for the rebels and the promise for the defectors Earlier on May 13, a few days before the trust vote, a few of the AIADMK MLAs, including Shanmugam, Velumani and former health minister Dr C. Vijayabhaskar, are said to have had off-the-record meetings and several rounds of discussion with the TVK high command. It was said that the Velumani camp was promised share power and also a few cabinet berths earlier. But when the DMK alliance partners including the VCK, IUML, CPI and the CPI(M) extended support, the TVK, reportedly snubbed the AIADMK rebel MLAs. As the demands from the AIADMK MLAs went up and a few of them decided to go back to the parent body, the ruling party, sources say, engineered yet another dissent. Sources in the AIADMK say that the four MLAs who resigned and joined the TVK, were lured by the latter with the promise of power and position. While Maragatham Kumaravel, Jayakumar and Sathyabama were promised power and position, Ambasamudram MLA Esaki Subbaiah was in a legal tangle after the new government ordered shutdown of 18 stone quarries in the Tirunelveli and Tenkasi region. Reportedly, Subbaiah owns one of the quarries which came under the government action, following a major crackdown on environmental violations.

from-mekedatu-to-metro-rail-cm-vijay-raises-key-tamil-nadu-issues-during-his-first-trip-to-delhi

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed a wide range of issues, including the Mekedatu dam issue, the arrest of fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy and the Vande Mataram controversy. The meeting comes barely two weeks after the actor-turned-politician assumed office. The meeting is significant as it is Vijay's maiden official visit to Delhi after becoming the CM. According to a government release, CM Vijay expressed serious concern over Karnataka's announcement of a ground-breaking ceremony for the Mekedatu dam project across the Cauvery River. He pointed out that the move was completely against the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) and the verdict of the Supreme Court. He said the development has caused concern among Tamil Nadu farmers and urged the PM to direct the Jal Shakti Ministry and the Central Water Commission not to permit the project without the consent of co-basin states, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry. CM requested Modi to issue a clear directive allowing the Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu (invocation song) to be sung at the start of government events. During the meeting, Vijay also urged the prime minister to take strong measures to secure the immediate release of Tamil Nadu fishermen and their vessels. According to the Tamil Nadu government, 12 such arrest incidents have taken place in 2026 so far, with 58 fishermen currently in Sri Lankan custody and 266 fishing boats seized. Vijay requested PM Modi to ensure efforts by both the Indian and Sri Lankan governments for the immediate release of the fishermen and their boats. Vijay also sought the establishment of the Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS) in Tamil Nadu. He said discussions had been underway within the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) regarding the setting up of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) design and development centre and CABS in the state. Vijay also visited Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. A statement from the CM's office said he told the finance minister that Tamil Nadu continues to emerge as a rapidly developing state and stressed that investment in key infrastructure projects is essential to sustain and accelerate this growth. Vijay requested Sitharaman to prioritise financial allocations for sectors crucial to Tamil Nadus development, including highways, railway projects and industrial corridors. The CM also urged the Union government to establish institutes of national importance in Tamil Nadu in order to further strengthen the states educational ecosystem. Further, he sought financial support for metro rail projects aimed at improving public transport infrastructure in Coimbatore and Madurai.

coimbatore-girl-rape-murder-after-minister-senior-police-officer-faces-backlash-for-smiling-before-press-conference

A senior Tamil Nadu police officer is now the latest to face heavy backlash for allegedly being insensitive at a press conference about the rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl in Coimbatore. In a now-viral clip, Inspector General of Police (West Zone), R.V. Ramya Bharathi, was seen laughing and casually interacting with her colleagues while seated at the press conference venue. The laughing, which took place on Monday just before the presser began, quickly sparked anger online, with many users questioning how the senior officers could laugh just before a discussion on the heinous crime. The case in question was the rape and murder of a Class 4 student, whose dead body was found on May 23two days after she went missingnear Sulur in the Kannampalayam lake area in Coimbatore. Two people were arrested in connection with the tragedyone of the first major crimes on the TVK government's radar.The case has also triggered statewide protests and political attacks by the Opposition against the C. Joseph Vijay government. Notably, this comes just hours after Tamil Nadu Industries Minister S. Keerthana came under fire for similar reasons: she was caught smiling at around the time the murder was being discussed with the press. She clarified that she had smiled at the end of the interactionnot while it was going onand that what she had smiled about was neither connected to the crime nor the reporters questions. However, the clarification could not save her from widespread backlash online over what the BJP called extreme insensitivity. The saffron party was also irked at her refusal to answer questions from the media, as she said she would only answer administrative questions. WhileCM Vijay has assured swift action and a fast-track investigation into the case, senior police officials are yet to issue an official response regarding the viral video involving IG Bharathi.
