Tragic Accident Claims Lives of Three Indian Women in the United States
Washington: Three Indian women from Gujarat tragically lost their lives in an accident in the United States when their speeding vehicle lost control, crashed into a divider, and soared 20 feet into the air before colliding with trees on the opposite side of a bridge. The incident occurred on Interstate 85 in Greenville County, South Carolina. The victims have been identified as Rekhaben Dilipbhai Patel, Sangeetaben Bhaveshbhai Patel, and Manishaben Rajendrabhai Patel, all from Borsad tehsil of Anand district in Gujarat.The vehicle was found completely wrecked, wedged against a tree and shattered into multiple pieces. Chief Deputy Coroner Mike Ellis from the Greenville County Coroner's Office, speaking to foxcarolina.com, described the horrifying scene, stating, When the vehicle jumped all four lanes of traffic, it actually struck trees probably at least 20 feet above the ground. He added, When you have got family, probably related, three deceased is nothing that you want to ever see. The driver of the vehicle was injured and transported to the hospital for treatment. According to Ellis, the SUV was traveling at a speed above the posted limit. Very seldom do you see a vehicle that leaves the roadway at such a high rate of speed that it jumps 46 lanes of traffic and lands in the trees approximately 20 feet, he explained.He further mentioned that no other vehicles were involved in the accident, indicating that the high speed of the vehicle was the sole cause of the tragic incident.

AAP's Chabbewal hopes Mann government's performance will pave path to victory in Hoshiarpur
AAP's Chabbewal hopes Mann government's performance will pave path to victory in Hoshiarpur The AAP's Raj Kumar Chabbewal is banking on the Bhagwant Mann government's schemes, especially providing free electricity and setting up aam aadmi clinics, to win the Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha seat. A radiologist by profession, the former two-time MLA is contesting the parliamentary polls on an AAP ticket from Hoshiarpur, currently represented by the BJP's Som Parkash. Chabbewal last month quit the Congress and joined AAP. The 54-year-old also resigned as MLA from the Chabbewal constituency in Hoshiarpur district. He was the deputy leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly when he quit. Chabbewal first became an MLA from the Chabbewal assembly segment in 2017 and retained the seat in the 2022 polls. He had unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections from Hoshiarpur in 2019, losing to Parkash by a margin of more than 48,000 votes. ''People are quite happy about the work done by the AAP government in the past two years. With zero electricity bills (300 units of free electricity per month in the domestic category), people are getting relief of Rs 4,000 to 5,000 per month,'' he told PTI. People's financial burden has also been lowered following the opening of aam aadmi clinics, where they get free treatment and medicines, he said. The state government has also shut several toll plazas, bringing relief to commuters, the AAP leader added. Many steps have been taken to generate employment and around 43,000 government jobs provided in the past two years. The state government is also focusing on the education sector, he claimed. Speaking on the farming community, Chabbewal said farmers are getting adequate water for irrigation. Joining AAP in the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Chabbewal had said that he was impressed with the state government's ''pro-people'' policies, especially for the poor and the weaker sections. ''I am taking the work done by the Mann government to the people and seeking their votes,'' he told PTI. Asked about the rival political parties in Hoshiarpur, Chabbewal said he doesn't see any competition. The people of Punjab are ''upset'' with the BJP, he said, referring to the ongoing farmers' agitation, and accused the Centre of not agreeing to their demand of a legal guarantee on minimum support price for all crops. The farmers were not allowed to head towards Delhi in support of their demands, Chabbewal said. He also alleged there is ''indiscipline and factionalism'' in the Congress' Punjab unit and claimed ''infighting'' has ''demoralised'' party workers. The Shiromani Akali Dal, on the other hand, is facing a fight for ''survival'', Chabbewal claimed. The AAP candidate also shared his roadmap for Hoshiarpur. Chabbewal said he will prioritise setting up a government hospital and medical college. A satellite centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research will also be brought to Hoshiarpur. The AAP candidate said he will make efforts to bring a rail coach factory to the constituency to boost employment and also work to upgrade the Panjab University's regional campus. He stressed on the need for a rail link between Tanda and Hoshiarpur and four-laning of the roads between Hoshiarpur and Garhshankar, and Garhshankar and Dasuya to boost economic activity. He also intends to boost tourism in Hoshiarpur, a sub-mountainous area. Chabbewal is contesting from Hoshiarpur against the BJP's Anita Som Parkash, the wife of incumbent MP Parkash, and the Congress' Yamini Gomar. The Shiromani Akali Dal has fielded former minister Sohan Singh Thandal. Polling for Punjab's 13 Lok Sabha seats will be held on June 1.
Delhi Building Fire Extinguished, No Casualties Reported

Two fire engines and one ambulance were sent to the spot. The blaze was extinguished within one-and-a half hours. No casualties have been reported, a senior police officer said. ''It has come to notice that some crackers or flammable material were kept on the first floor,'' the officer said, adding that an FIR has been lodged in the matter. ''A PCR call regarding a fire in a building was received at the Harsh Vihar police station at 11.45 am on Saturday. The staff reached the spot near Badi Masjid, Mandoli village. Our team found flames coming from the first floor of the building,'' the officer said. The police said the building belonged to one Azizulla (52).

ED acted in 'most highhanded' manner in excise policy case, Kejriwal tells SC
NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday told the Supreme Court that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has acted in a most highhanded manner in a money-laundering case stemming from the alleged excise policy scam. In a rejoinder to the ED's reply affidavit filed on his petition challenging his arrest in the case, Kejriwal said he has always cooperated with the investigation. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said the ED, in its reply affidavit filed in the apex court, has said that one of the reasons which necessitated his arrest was that he did not remain present before the investigating officer (IO) despite being summoned nine times. Kejriwal said the ED has said in its reply that in such a case, the IO was justified in forming an opinion that custodial interrogation would lead to a qualitatively more elicitation orientated questioning of the accused. The aforementioned tenor, text and contents of the reply leave no manner of doubt that the ED has acted in a most highhanded manner in a gross affront to the due process of law, he said. Kejriwal further claimed that a cumulative reading of the ED's stand in its reply would expose the ogey and blatant falsehood in the conduct of its proceedings. He said the record would reveal that each and every summons issued to him was duly responded to while seeking vital details and information, which under no circumstances can be claimed to be privileged or confidential by the ED. CM Kejriwal 'kingpin' of excise scam, demanded kickbacks: ED tells SC Kejriwal as CM even after arrest puts political interest over national interest: Delhi HC Kejriwal claimed that the ED has never spelt out the alleged non-cooperation by him. What was the requirement in not calling the petitioner (Kejriwal) either through an authorised agent or seeking information or documents from him in writing or through a virtual mode and insisting on his presence physically in person, is not forthcoming, he said. The AAP leader said his plea deserves to be allowed and he is entitled to be released forthwith. In its reply affidavit filed in the apex court earlier this week, the ED has claimed that Kejriwal is the kingpin and key conspirator of the excise policy scam and the arrest of a person for an offence based on material can never violate the concept of free and fair elections. The ED also claimed that Kejriwal worked in collusion with his ministers and AAP leaders and was also involved in demanding kickbacks from liquor businessmen in exchange for favours granted in the policy. Terming Kejriwal's petition challenging his arrest as devoid of merit and liable to be dismissed, the ED has said the material that formed the basis for the satisfaction of the IO for arresting him had been perused by different courts. The ED arrested Kejriwal on March 21 after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him protection from coercive action by the federal anti-money laundering agency. He is currently lodged in Tihar jail under judicial custody. On April 15, the top court issued a notice to the ED and sought its response to Kejriwal's plea. The high court had on April 9 upheld Kejriwal's arrest in the money laundering case, saying there was no illegality about it and that the ED was left with little option after he skipped repeated summonses and refused to join the investigation. The matter pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government's excise policy for 202122, which was later scrapped.

Why I chose the Maruti Invicto to replace my 10-year-old Safari Storme
BHPian chinkara recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Some of you may know that I have been a proud owner of a Storme VX 4x4 for 10 years now. But with the 10-year rule in NCR, I have also been an enthusiastic participant in the What Car threads for some time, and also discussing the dilemma in theStorme thread (Tata Safari Storme : Official Review). So I thought I'll finally create a thread to discuss the options and the decision process. I will not go through detailed pros and cons but highlight what madeusput a car in / drop a car fromthe shortlist. Choices:XUV 700Scorpio-NJeep CompassJeep MeridianSkoda KodiaqVW TiguanToyota FortunerNew SafariInnova HycrossInvictoThen, the decision criteria. We already have a Tiago EV which is used mainly as a regular office commute by my wife, although I too use it for meetings within Gurgaon when she works from home. So we wanted a vehicle that would double up as a holiday vehicle. Thus a goodcruiserwas essential. Do we need a 5-seater or a 7-seater?We used the 7-seat facility in the Storme well. We have gone on trips with my parents, in-laws, and SIL and her family as well. But now, with both our parents 70+, it is unlikely they would join us for long tours. A 7-seater is good to have but not essential. Do we need a 4x4?As I have said in other threads, we have probably used the 4x4 thrice in 10 years, but those 3 times were fantastic. Also, my long pending Ladakh trip (which I and a friend who is currently in the UK promised to do together) would welcome a 4x4. Thus I would prefer 4x4 but not essential (hence the last 2 were added to the list). Waiting for Godot redux...Last time I waited and waited for the Duster and delayed the Storme purchase by 2 years, only to conclude after the test drive that I liked the Storme more. (probably better as I got a more sorted, niggle free vehicle). This time I really wanted to look at the X-trail. I have driven my friend's vehicle in Dubai and wanted to snap it up if it was available around 40L. But in spite of waiting for 2 years still no sign of it. Now my vehicle was completing 10 years in 2024, so I could not risk further delays and impounding, as happened to a colleague of mine. So started the test drives from Oct 2023.XUV 700:We took a test drive and felt the suspension to be a problem - much like why we rejected the 500 10 years back. It simply did not have the handling, particularly in curves, that we were used to in the Storme.Scorpio N:I was really keen on this (the guy next to me in the parking lot has one, and I have taken it out for a spin). But ruled out by the home office. Scorpio has a bad image problem in the North with politico vehicles having Pradhan ji stickers all around. She felt the same would be the case with the ScorpioN and she refused to drive or ride such a car.Compass:A good friend was buying the compass. I took a test drive and liked it overall, but there was a small doubt about the turbo lag and overtaking from dead slow. Also, a colleague owned a Compass and had horror stories about both fuel efficiency and maintenance after 3 years. However, I overlooked such stories with the Storme and decided to stick the Compass in the list for now.Merdian:We had a good test drive. Kids liked the last row. Wife liked the suspension. I liked the driving ergonomics but gained the nagging doubt about the turbo lag and the overtaking power. We also loved the green colour and decided to stick it on the shortlist.Kodiaq:I have used the Kodiaq a bit in Europe last year and loved the car. The reported transmission problems were ok with me. It is a good car with good suspension as well. However, I had hesitation plonking 50 L plus on a car, similar toPoloman (Want to buy a 45 - 50 lakh SUV | How to get rid of the middle-class guilt?)-so decided to put it on the waitlist.Tiguan:Loved the drive. It is such a smooth car. No turbo lag as well. But we felt it is effectively a 4 seater and overpriced at around 40L. So dropped from the list.Fortuner:It was considered for being a 4x4, but the price, waitlist, and the fact that currently only white and black are available made us drop itNew Safari:Now here comes a rant. Tata completely changed the Safari DNA. Just after they got it right with Storme and Hexa, they decided to vacate the 4x4 space. The new Safari is simply not there for old Safari owners. However, we decided to give it a shot as we were really happy with the Storme, and we decided that we would do without 4x4 if needed (there were no reasonable options except the Jeep duo).So we took the test drive (actually it was the first test drive). And ended up with more frustration. Storme was a brilliant ergonomic car. I have done non-stop 16-hour drives with 2 kids, done Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Kolkata, Delhi-Ahmedabad etc. several times. And drove extensively in hills, forests everywhere. Here, after 20 min, we all felt a lack of under-thigh support and I had a knee fouling problem. So we rejected it. Then the 2023 edition was launched. I sat in the vehicle in the yard, and spent 30 min to find a comfortable driving position, but no luck. So with a heavy heart, dropped it.Innova Hycross:We were thinking of looking at the Thar or the Jimny when my wife spotted the Hycross and wanted to take a test drive. But they have been refusing to take bookings for the variants we wanted. InvictoAs soon as it was launched, we wanted to explore the Suzuki twin. So we took a test drive and we liked it, including the space in the last row.Then the decision. It effectively boiled down to Compass / Meridian vs. Invicto. Invicto was the cerebral choice, but I was not getting the thrill in the heart that I had while buying the Storme. Between the Compass and the Meridian, the Meridian was more refined, but it was also 8L extra. Additionally, I had nagging doubts about the pick-up and turbo lag. This, coupled with the FE were the doubts. We spent a few agonizing days undecided. Both of us agreed that if we had a BS6 Storme available with comparable FE (I get 11-12 in the city, 15-16 on highways) for around 30L, we would simply buy it with our eyes closed. Also, we cursed the NGT ruling - our steed (solely driven by me, well maintained at Arya Tata) was good enough for another 3 years if not more. Finally, we decided to go with the Invicto. The doubts were too much for the Jeep twins and we did not have the unanimity of heart we had with the Storme. Completed the payment on the 31st (year-end billing incentive) and will take delivery on our new year in mid-April. Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

High Court Urges Centre to Facilitate Women's Representation in Armed Forces via Combined Defence Services Exam The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to decide in eight weeks a representation seeking the entry of women in the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Indian Naval Academy (INA) and Air Force Academy of the Indian Armed Forces through the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination. The court passed the order on a petition by Kush Kalra, who challenged a December 2023 notification issued by the UPSC inviting application for recruitment in the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Indian Naval Academy (INA), and Air Force Academy of the Indian Armed Forces and Officers Training Academy (OTA) through the CDS examination. Noting that the petitioner's representation on the issue was still pending with the authorities, a bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet PS Arora on Friday said, ''the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to decide the representation in accordance with law within eight weeks''. The petitioner contended that the notification unjustifiably excluded females to appear in the examination to be conducted for the IMA, INA and IAF solely on the grounds of their gender as it only permits them to be considered for Short Service Commission at OTA. As per the petitioner, now that the Ministry of Defence has removed its entry barrier for females through the NDA examination and the number of female candidates being recruited is increasing every year, there is no reason why the females should not be recruited through the CDS examination for the IMA, INA and IAF. The exclusion of eligible female candidates from the opportunity to get training at the premier Indian training institutes is a violation of their fundamental right to equality, the petition said. ''The respondents allow the unmarried male candidates having adequate degree to take the CDS Examination and join Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy and Air Force Academy. However, eligible and willing female candidates are not allowed to take the same examination on the sole ground of their sex and without any reasonable or justifiable explanations within the four comers of the Constitution and this act of discrimination is a dishonour committed by the respondents to the constitutional values of equality and non-discrimination,'' the petitioner asserted.

IPL 2024: No Coetzee & Shaw As Mumbai Indians Elect To Bowl First Against Delhi Capitals
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in match 43 of IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. MI are at ninth place in the points table, while DC are at sixth position. The last time these two teams met in IPL 2024, MI won by 29 runs in the afternoon game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai earlier this month. After winning the toss, captain Hardik Pandya said fast-bowler Gerald Coetzee is out due to a stomach bug and left-arm pacer Luke Wood comes into the playing eleven. The ground is small. It's better to bat second on a smaller ground. Every game is a new game, we make sure we are not out. We keep fighting and keep coming hard in each game. The mood is fine, happy chats, all is well. You should not really focus on what has happened in the past. Anyone can beat anyone. Our goal is to play our brand of cricket and put our best foot forward, he said. DC skipper Rishabh Pant said he was looking to bat first, and added opener Prithvi Shaw is out due to an injury, with wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra coming into the playing eleven. DC have also got South Africa fast-bowler Lizaad Williams into the playing eleven in place of fellow countryman Anrich Nortje. I think it will get slower in the second innings. It has been amazing, we're getting the kind of wickets we want. As a team we have to play well and we have been. This is something we talked about - how to control the innings. Bowling with the new ball and bowling at the death is difficult, one over here or there is making all the difference, he said. The pitch for Saturdays match has no grass and looks barren, with it expected to aid spinner. The square boundaries are at 59m and 64m respectively, with straight boundaries measured at 73m and one side of behind the wicket standing at just 54m. Playing XIs Delhi Capitals: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Kumar Kushagra, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (captain & wicketkeeper), Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Lizaad Williams, Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed Substitutes: Rasikh Dar Salam, Praveen Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Ricky Bhui and Sumit Kumar Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Hardik Pandya (captain), Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Piyush Chawla, Luke Wood, Jasprit Bumrah and Nuwan Thushara Substitutes: Suryakumar Yadav, Naman Dhir, Shams Mulani, Dewald Brevis and Kumar Kartikeya
Hypocrisy of Modi Sarkar knows no bounds: Jairam Ramesh targets government over move on 2G case verdict With the BJP-led government seeking modification of the Supreme Court's earlier verdict in the 2G spectrum allocation case, Congress on Saturday accused it of hypocrisy, saying that the BJP had termed the 2G spectrum allocation during the UPA government as scam and now wants to follow the same route of administrative allocation in some cases. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the BJP was contradicting its own stance. The hypocrisy of the Modi Sarkar and Bhrasht Janata Party knows no bounds. During Dr. Manmohan Singh's tenure, they cried to all who would listen that the administrative allocation of 2G spectrum was a 'scam'. Now, they are arguing the opposite - they have gone to the Supreme Court for permission to give away spectrum to whoever they want, without an auction, Jairam Ramesh posted on X. He alleged that the government was handing over public resources to PM's crony capitalist friends and even satellite spectrum has been handed over in exchange for electoral bonds. Of course, this Modani Regime has already been handing over public resources to the PM's crony capitalist friends - airports have been handed over to one company, coal mines have been given away in fraudulent auctions, and even satellite spectrum has been handed over in exchange for Rs 150 crore in electoral bonds. In total, they have already handed out Rs. 4 lakh crores worth of public resources to their corporate donors, the Congress leader alleged. He expressed confidence that the BJP-led government will be voted out in the Lok Sabha elections. On June 4, India's voters will show this party of organised loot the door. The INDIA Government will launch a JPC on the Adani Mega Scam, and investigate these other corrupt practices - including the #PayPM scam in which the PM amassed Rs 8,200 crore through his well-documented 'Chaar Raaste' of collecting funds - 1. Pre-paid Bribes: Chanda Do, Dhanda Lo 2. Post-paid Bribes: Theka Lo, Ghoos do 3. Post-raid Bribes: Hafta Vasooli 4. Farzi Companies, Ramesh said. The Centre in its plea earlier this week in the Supreme Court has sought modification of the 2012 verdict as it wanted to grant second-generation spectrum licences in some cases. On February 2, 2012, the top court quashed 2G spectrum licence allocations to various firms during A Raja's tenure as telecom minister in January 2008. The court had also held that the State was duty-bound to adopt the auction route while transferring natural resources of the country. Earlier on December 21, 2017, the Special Court acquitted Raja, Kanimozhi and others in a 2G spectrum allocation case. CBI has challenged the order in the Delhi High Court. (ANI)

Zaheer Khan picks Pant as exclusive wicket-keeper for T20 WC; suggests India debut for Yash Dayal
Zaheer Khan picks Pant as exclusive wicket-keeper for T20 WC; suggests India debut for Yash Dayal Former India pace spearhead Zaheer Khan has picked Rishabh Pant as the sole wicketkeeper in his team for the T20 World Cup while handing out international debut to left-arm seamer Yash Dayal to add a new dimension to the attack. One of Zaheer's most interesting selections was the 26-year-old Dayal, who represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. He has taken into account Mohammed Shami's injury layoff while picking his squad. ''When I talk about Yash Dayal, it's a floating spot when the 15 are announced because Mohammed Shami will not be available for the tournament. ''He's one bowler that if you need someone to bowl up, you have Yash Dayal. If you want a back-end bowler and if Siraj's form is spotty, he can be used there as well,'' Zaheer told Jio Cinema. Zaheer also selected Delhi Capitals' captain Pant as the only wicket-keeper in his squad, overlooking others such as Sanju Samson, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan. ''Rishabh Pant is my only wicket-keeper. I have given more importance to bringing four pace bowlers. You don't want to sacrifice a fast bowler for another wicketkeeper. You have options like KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, and many want to see Dinesh Karthik. ''At this point, we can consider Mahendra Singh Dhoni as well because of his strike rate! I think they'll focus on current players like Samson, KL Rahul, and maybe even Jitesh Sharma. ''If you're building a team for a month-long tournament, your travelling reserve can be your wicketkeeper.'' Zaheer named 16 players in his squad, with the caveat that only one player between Gujarat Titans' captain Shubman Gill and Rajasthan Royals' opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will be selected as Rohit Sharma's opening partner. ''The toughest decision the selectors will have to make will be choosing one opener out of two terrific options. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, I think only one of them will make it because the think-tank will want flexibility in the team. ''A player can't be limited to just one role, they might need to move around the batting order.'' Zaheer Khan's India squad for T20 World Cup: Batters: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill/Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh All-Rounders: Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja Wicket-Keeper: Rishabh Pant Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Yash Dayal, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal.

WTO panel delays ruling on India, Chinese Taipei ICT import duties dispute to July 26
WTO panel delays ruling on India, Chinese Taipei ICT import duties dispute to July 26 India and Chinese Taipei have asked the WTO's dispute settlement body not to adopt any ruling against New Delhi's import duties on certain information and technology products till July 26 as both sides are engaged in resolving the matter, an official said. The issue came up during a meeting of the dispute settlement body (DSB) in Geneva on April 26. In the meeting, the two countries asked DSB to delay consideration of a dispute panel's reports until July 26, 2024 to help facilitate resolution of the disputes, the Geneva-based official said, adding that the body agreed to that. Earlier also, DSB had agreed to three previous requests from India and Chinese Taipei to delay consideration of the reports. As per rules of the WTO, the panel's ruling will have to be adopted by DSB for implementation within 60 days of the release of the order. However, countries can mutually request DSB for delay in the adoption of the ruling. In its report, a dispute panel of WTO on April 17, 2023 said import duties imposed by India on certain information and technology products violate global trading norms. The ruling followed a case filed by the EU, Japan and Taiwan against these duties in WTO. In May 2019, Chinese Taipei had filed a case against India in the WTO over the import duties imposed on certain electronic goods, including telephones for cellular networks; machines for reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data; and parts of telephone sets. India has stated that these ICT products are part of WTO's Information Technology Products (ITA-2) agreement, and New Delhi is not part of this pact. India is a part of ITA-1, signed in 1997, which did not have any obligation to eliminate customs duties on these products. Besides formulating norms for global exports and imports, the Geneva-based 164-member multilateral body adjudicates trade disputes among the member countries. According to WTO rules, a member country can file a case in WTO if they feel that a particular trade measure is against the norms of WTO. Bilateral consultation is the first step to resolving a dispute. If both sides are not able to resolve the matter through consultation, either of them can approach the establishment of a dispute settlement panel. The panel's ruling or report can be challenged at WTO's appellate body. Interestingly, the appellate body is not functioning because of differences among member countries in appointing its members. Several disputes are already pending with this body. The US has been blocking the appointment of the members.

Book Review | Fashionista-influencer discovers Goas susegad
For a book that turned out to be quite a mood lifter, Bina Nayaks Goagr@m engendered a huge amount of angst in my editors soul as I read it. First, the unnecessary introduction by the author led me to expect a certain kind of story in the pages that followed, only to have me confused when a completely different story emerged. Next, the banal writing and frequent misuse of words drove me crazy. Finally, the overuse of sentences in Hindi, Konkani and Portuguese, each one requiring a translation in parentheses, interfered with the flow of the storytelling so much that as I turned the pages, I felt as though my brain was stuttering. In fact, the first 70-odd pages of the book made me so cranky that when I suddenly realised I was growing fond of the heroine, my jaw actually dropped. But there it was, clearly on display: the ability of a good story to overpower all technical flaws and simply shine. Goagr@m is about Madhur (aka Maddy and Mad), a young fashion designer who adopted social media as a business and branding tool long before most Indians even imagined its possibilities. Stuck at home in Delhi with her nagging mother in the lockdown imposed during the pandemic, her loving and encouraging father lost to Covid-19, and her business going down the drain, Madhur moves to Goa to consolidate her brand by becoming an influencer. The idea, however, is tougher to execute than she thought. Goa in 2020 is still mostly unexposed to the concept of social media influencing and vendors she approaches for vlogs and reviews believe shes just a beggar trying to inveigle free meals and products. Plus, shes clearly an outsider, her big city tension, aggression, and lack of trust in people completely at odds with Goas famous susegad. Slowly though, Goa gets to Madhur. It starts with her landlady who is always interested in a good way in what Madhur is doing and why, and always willing to share stories of her own life and lifestyle, which fascinates Madhur. It continues with Madhur's interest in and use of the languages of Konkani and Portuguese which makes the local people inclined to be friendlier to her. And the more Madhur interacts with the local people, the more her personality transforms from hard-edged and brittle to relaxed, open, and thinking. The changes dont always come easily, however. Madhur finds herself in a me-too situation when she comes across an ageing Bollywood star who all too cheerfully participates in her vlog; the landlady whos becoming more of a mother to her than her own mother dies of a stroke; a video her phone accidentally recorded while she suffered the me-too situation is found by a cop with blackmail on his mind; her new landlord throws her out of her flat... But even when Madhur is down, shes never out and it is impossible not to root for her, however annoying the telling of the story can get. Goagr@m By Bina Nayak HarperCollins India pp. 255; Rs 399

GT eyes collective improvement against revamped RCB
GT eyes collective improvement against revamped RCB In need of a total reboot, Gujarat Giants will be wary of Royal Challengers Bengalurus newfound firepower in the middle-order when the two teams clash in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday. The Giants are now seventh on the table with eight points from nine matches, and they require a victory to float above the growing pile, constituted by Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals who are also on eight points. To begin with, the Gujarat side needs their pacers to step up. Their pace bowling unit has been underwhelming throughout this IPL. Mohit Sharma (10 wickets, economy: 10.35), Umesh Yadav (7 wickets, 10.55), Sandeep Warrier (5 wickets, 10.85) have leaked runs in plenty while backup quicks such as Spencer Johnson and Azmatullah Omarzai too have not inspired much confidence. Their spinners Rashid Khan (8 wickets), R Sai Kishore and Noor Ahmad (6 wickets each) have been steady without being spectacular. The troikas task will be even harder now considering RCB have found a flicker of hope in their middle-order consisting of Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green. They can take consolation from the fact that dew will not be a significant factor in a day game, but tackling Patidar, in particular, and Green need much more than help from conditions. After a modest beginning to the season, Patidar has shown smidgeons of his batting skills, especially against the spinners. He made forceful fifties while tackling Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy (KKR) and Mayank Markande (SRH) in the last two matches while batting through the middle phase. While his 23-ball 52 carried RCB nearly home against Kolkata, Patidars 20-ball 50 came in a winning cause against Hyderabad. The right-hander, whose strength is his excellent eye-hand coordination rather than innovation, will be eager to make a similar impact against the GT spinners. Green too was impressive during his 20-ball 37 against the Sunrisers that took RCB past the 200-run mark. It has also helped RCB reduce their dependency on Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror down the order for a late thrust, besides freeing opener Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis of the burden of scoring in almost every match. The GT batters would also like to take a cue from their RCB counterparts. Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill have scored upwards of 300 runs in this IPL, making three combined fifties, but the GT middle-order has not really been able to do a follow-up act. The likes of David Miller (138 runs), Shahrukh Khan (30), Vijay Shankar (73) and Rahul Tewatia (153) have had fleeting moments but failed to carry on. The home side will require a heftier contribution from them against the RCB bowlers, who were on the money against SRH while defending 207. Their frontline pacers Mohammed Siraj (4-0-20-0) and Yash Dayal (3-0-18-1) were exceptional against a heavy-duty batting line-up, keeping it guessing with clever variations even on a smooth HCA Stadium surface. Leg-spinner Karn Sharma and part-time pacer Green picked up four wickets equally among them to support their lead bowlers. So, in a day-game they might be hoping for an even more improved show against a vacillating batting unit of GT. Teams (from): RCB: Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan. GT: Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson, Abhinav Manohar, B. Sai Sudharsan, Darshan Nalkande, Vijay Shankar, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Noor Ahmad, Sai Kishore, Rashid Khan, Joshua Little, Mohit Sharma, Azmatullah Omarzai, Umesh Yadav, Shahrukh Khan, Sushant Mishra, Kartik Tyagi, Manav Suthar, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier, BR Sharath. Match starts at 3.30 PM.

CSK Face Bruised SRH in Battle of Former Champions
CSK Face Bruised SRH in Battle of Former Champions Smarting from back-to-back losses, defending champion Chennai Super Kings will be desperate to return to winning ways when they face a formidable but bruised Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match here on Sunday. CSK had a good start to the season under new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad but they have been toppled by the Lucknow Super Giants twice in the last two games. It was an unfamiliar sight for the Yellow Brigade fans to see the Chepauk fortress being breached as LSG knocked down a target of 210 with ease, thanks to Marcus Stoinis' stunning hundred. With four wins and as many losses in eight games, CSK are currently at fifth spot, tied with eight points with Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans and will be keen to find their mojo back as things can quickly go south as the race to playoffs get heated up. Come Sunday, CSK will be up against third-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have twice broken the record of highest IPL total this season but are coming into the game following a failure of their ultra-batting approach. CSK's batting has hovered around skipper Gaikwad, who pulled off only his second IPL century the other day, and the in-form Shivam Dube, who once again impressed with yet another fifty. While Ravindra Jadeja too chipped in with the bat, the inconsistent form of top-order is a problem. Both Rachin Ravindra and Dary Mitchell's lack of runs is a concern and it has forced CSK to shuffle their batting order. Considering their bowling, the hosts had to toil hard against LSG, given the unexpectedly huge amount of dew at Chepauk that took their spinners out of the game and the visitors made full advantage of it during their 213-run chase. While the CSK pacers managed to capture the four LSG wickets to fell, the spinners struggled to grip the ball, whereas the constant misfields did not help them either. A high-flying SRH, on the other hand, were brought to the ground by RCB when they suffered only their third defeat of the season at home by 35 runs on Thursday. However, it is unlikely to deter the SRH batters who would fancy their chances against an inconsistent CSK. Against RCB, SRH's top and middle-order failed collectively while chasing, forcing head coach Daniel Vettori to admit that the idea of going all out with the bat in the second innings might not be the right thing to do. There is unlikely to be any shuffling in the visiting batting order, but Aiden Markram might need to step up, having been dismissed in singles figures in the last two contests. In bowling, senior seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only one who could be at the receiving end, having managed to claim just a wicket in the last three fixtures. With the likes of Umran Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Akash Singh waiting in the wings, SRH may think of given a chance, especially to the Jammu pacer, who has the ability to bowl above 150 kmph. Given that SRH won four of their last five games this season while defending, they would love to bat first but both teams will also keep an eye on the unpredictable dew factor.

CAT slaps Rs 50K fine on retired IPS officer for abusing legal process
HYDERABAD: A division bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Hyderabad, comprising Dr Lata Baswara Patne (Judicial Member) and Shalini Misra (Administrative Member), has imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Rajnish Kumar Rai, a retired IPS officer and assistant professor at the Indian School of Management, Ahmedabad for abusing the legal process by repeatedly challenging his transfer. The fine is to be paid within one month from the date of the order to Sishuvihar, Women, Children, Disabled, and Senior Citizens Department in Hyderabad district. He was fined for repeatedly challenging his transfer on 12 June, 2017 from Shillong, Meghalaya, to Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. Despite initial dismissals of his appeals by the tribunal and subsequent rejection by the Delhi High Court, Rai continued his legal battle by filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court. CAT observed that Rai, being a highly educated individual and presently an assistant professor at IAM Ahmedabad, ought to have demonstrated better judgment. Rais pursuit of legal remedies across multiple forums, including the Gujarat High Court and the Supreme Court, in regard to the charge memo dated 16 February, 2023, which is currently the subject matter of the SLP before the Supreme Court, was deemed an abuse of the judicial process. The bench highlighted Rais misuse of legal avenues, noting his earlier failed attempts at redressal, including a dismissed original application (OA) at the CAT Ahmedabad Bench and an unsuccessful appeal at the Gujarat High Court. The CAT Bench emphasised that Rai, as a high-ranking officer, should serve as a role model for society. However, his actions were found to be contrary to the principles of judicial prudence and fair legal practice. In conclusion, the CAT Hyderabad Bench dismissed Rais current OA, citing its lack of maintainability, given the ongoing proceedings in the Supreme Court. The imposition of costs of `50,000 serves as a deterrent against the abuse of legal processes by individuals.
