Maha Cabinet approves resolution praising PM Modis 25-year public service
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) The Maharashtra Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Wednesday passed a unanimous resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing an unbroken 25 years of public service as head of government, spanning his tenures as Chief Minister and Prime Minister from October 7, 2001, to October 7, 2026. The cabinet lauded PM Modis leadership in driving national transformation across good governance, inclusive development, infrastructure expansion, social empowerment, and national security. Highlighting his philosophy of serving as Pradhan Sevak, the resolution emphasised how his policies have prioritised the welfare of the poor, exploited, deprived, and vulnerable sections of society. Acknowledged the national goal of reaching a USD 5 trillion economy by 2029 and highlighted Maharashtras concurrent objective of building a USD 1-trillion economy backed by robust central support. The resolution noted that infrastructure projects worth approximately Rs 12 lakh crore are currently underway in the state with central collaboration. The 701 km Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg expressway was completed, boosting economic development across Vidarbha, Marathwada, and North Maharashtra. There has been accelerated momentum for metro projects in Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur, including the 33.5-km underground Mumbai Metro Line 8 (Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ). The 22-km Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu) and the Navi Mumbai International Airport have become operational, while the construction of the Vadhavan Port in Palghar district and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project are underway. PM Modi-led government took the historic decision granting Classical Language status to Marathi on October 3, 2024, alongside the establishment of the Centre of Excellence for Classical Marathi Language Studies in Pune. The resolution also recognised central initiatives, including celebrating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (including naval insignia inspired by the Rajmudra and UNESCO World Heritage status for 12 hill forts), the development of Panchteerth sites, land allocation for the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar National Memorial at Indu Mill, and the nationwide celebrations for Mahatma Phules bicentenary alongside the Bhide Wada memorial project. The resolution cited the implementation of 29 major and medium irrigation projects under the Pradhan Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (creating 4.49 lakh hectares of irrigation capacity by July 2026), the Baliraja Jal Sanjeevani Yojana (allocating Rs 15,000 crore for drought-prone regions), and the installation of 11.80 million solar agricultural pumps under the PM-KUSUM scheme alongside PM Surya Ghar free electricity initiatives. Further, the resolution highlighted the reach of Ayushman Bharat (benefitting 4.40 crore citizens in Maharashtra), PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (supporting 91 lakh farmers), Jeevan Mission water connections, and extensive coverage under rural housing, Mudra loans, and financial inclusion schemes.
PIL in SC seeks uniform judicial terms, abbreviations and court fees across India
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Law Commission of India to prepare a comprehensive report in consultation with the apex court and all High Courts to standardise judicial terminology, abbreviations, phrases, norms, court fee structures, and case registration processes across the country. The plea, filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay under Article 32 of the Constitution, alternatively sought the constitution of an expert committee or directions to the Union Law Ministry to prepare a report to ensure uniformity in judicial procedures and nomenclature. The petition, which has arrayed the Union government, the Secretary General of the Supreme Court, the Registrars General of all High Courts, and the Law Commission of India as respondents, contended that significant variations in judicial terminology, case classifications, abbreviations, procedures and court fees across High Courts cause inconvenience to litigants, advocates and authorities, despite courts operating under the same constitutional and legal framework. The terminology used by different High Courts for different types of cases is not uniform. This causes inconvenience not only to the general public but also to advocates and the authorities as well, the petition stated. It further said that even where courts deal with similar categories of cases, the terms and abbreviations used to identify them differ, making the existing system difficult to navigate. Citing examples from various High Courts, the petition pointed out that criminal appeals are abbreviated as CRA, CR.A, CRAPL and CRL.A in different jurisdictions, while contempt appeals are referred to as CONTA, CONTAPP, CPTA, and ConApp. The plea also highlighted variations in the classification of writ petitions, stating that the Delhi High Court has multiple categories of writ petitions, while the Gujarat High Court deals with such matters under a single category of WRIT PETITION (PIL). Similarly, the petition said, the Gauhati and Himachal Pradesh High Courts have several categories of writ petitions, while the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court follows its own classification system. It also flagged differences in the nomenclature of company matters, with COMPET used in the Gauhati High Court, COMP in the Gujarat High Court, and COP in the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The plea referred to further inconsistencies within the Bombay High Court and its Benches at Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Panaji, arguing that different terminologies and descriptions for similar case types create difficulties for advocates practising across these jurisdictions. According to the petition, the Bombay High Court's principal seat has 330 case types with descriptions but without abbreviations, while its Nagpur and Aurangabad benches have 77 and 61 such case types, respectively. The petitioner also raised concerns over the absence of uniformity in court fees for similar matters of comparable valuation across different states and High Courts, arguing that such disparities adversely affect access to justice. Judicial equality is a matter of constitutional right, its differentiation based on the jurisdiction of courts violates the Right to Equality enshrined under Articles 14-15 of the Constitution, the plea stated. Citing examples, the petition said that a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, attracts a court fee of Rs 2.65 in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, compared with Rs 2.50 in the Delhi High Court. It further highlighted that the court fee for a first appeal in matrimonial cases is Rs 19.50 in Punjab and Chandigarh, while the same appeal attracts a fee of Rs 24.50 in Haryana. The plea also highlighted differences in fees for transfer applications and company petitions, arguing that litigants are required to pay different amounts for similar legal proceedings depending on the jurisdiction. Unequal Court Fees in different States discriminate among citizens based on their place of birth and residence, the petition contended, adding that such differences also promote regionalism. It further referred to various state-specific amendments to the Court Fees Act, 1870, arguing that the resulting disparities underscore the need for a uniform court fee structure. The petition stated that the petitioner had submitted a representation to the Chairman of the Law Commission on September 5, seeking uniformity in judicial terminology, abbreviations, norms, phrases, court fees and case registration processes. However, claiming that the authorities had not taken steps to address the issue, the plea said the need for judicial standardisation continued to remain unaddressed. The petitioner has sought directions for a comprehensive exercise involving the Supreme Court and all High Courts to establish uniform standards for case classifications, judicial terminology, abbreviations, court fees and registration procedures across the country.

696 kg of poppy husk worth Rs 1.04 crore seized from truck carrying steel coils in Gujarat
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 10 (IANS) The Ahmedabad Rural Police have seized 696.94 kg of poppy husk concealed beneath steel coils in a truck travelling from Nagpur in Maharashtra to Sanand in Gujarat and arrested the driver, while two other suspects have been identified in connection with the alleged interstate trafficking operation. The narcotic substance, packed in 36 sacks, was valued at Rs 1.045 crore, while the total value of the seized property, including the truck, steel coil, mobile phones and cash, was estimated at Rs 1.47 crore, police said on Saturday. The joint operation was conducted by the Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Anti-Narcotics Wing (ANW) of Ahmedabad Rural Police following a tip-off received by SOG Sub-Inspector I.K. Sheikh that a truck-trailer was carrying a large consignment of poppy husk concealed beneath steel coils. The coils were reportedly being transported from Nagpur for delivery to Tata Motors in Sanand, said the police. Acting on the information, police teams tracked the vehicle and received specific information that it would pass along the Kheda-Dholka highway on the night of October 8. The teams intercepted the vehicle and inspected its cargo. When the tarpaulin covering the steel coils was removed, they found 36 black and yellow sacks containing the suspected narcotic substance concealed beneath the coils. Police identified the arrested driver as Bhairaram Tarad, 33, a resident of Barmer district in Rajasthan. According to the police, the consignment had allegedly been loaded into the trailer near Jhabua in Madhya Pradesh by a person identified as Santosh, who is now wanted in the case. The driver was allegedly promised freight charges of Rs two lakh to transport the consignment to its intended recipient in Gujarat. Police have also detained Jetaram Kadwasha, a resident of Samakhiyali in Kutch district, who is suspected of being the receiver who ordered the consignment. He is being questioned, while efforts are underway to apprehend Santosh. A case has been registered at Dholka Rural Police Station under Sections 8(c), 15(c) and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Further investigation is underway to establish the source of the consignment and the roles of the other suspects. The seized property includes the truck-trailer valued at Rs 20 lakh, a steel coil worth around Rs 22.22 lakh, two mobile phones valued at Rs 7,000 and cash amounting to Rs 32,010, in addition to the poppy husk.

In response, Congress officials defended Gandhi's role in raising concerns about governance and questioned BJP's reaction to his inquiries.

Maha CM briefs HM Amit Shah on drought, seeks Central aid
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) During his two-day visit to Delhi, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and briefed him on the severe drought conditions prevailing in Maharashtra and the relief measures being undertaken by the state government, while requesting special financial assistance from the Central government. Additionally, the Chief Minister held crucial discussions with Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding the expansion of Nagpur Airport, paving the way for the acquisition of 27 acres of Defence land required for the project. During his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis handed over a copy of the advance proposal submitted by the state government to the Centre. He pointed out that around 32 districts in the state are facing severe drought conditions, with nearly 80 per cent of the talukas severely affected. To assess the ground reality, a Central team will visit various parts of Maharashtra from October 8 to 11. Based on its physical inspection, the team will submit a fact-finding report. Decisions regarding financial relief under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) will be finalised on the basis of both the state's proposal and the team's assessment report. He said Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured maximum Central assistance and affirmed that the Union government stands firmly behind Maharashtra. Referring to his discussions with Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis clarified that, along with satellite imagery parameters, factors such as rainfall deficits, groundwater levels, crop damage and physical inspections would also be evaluated. Even if certain talukas do not meet satellite imagery criteria, they will still be considered if they qualify under other parameters. He further noted that the process of providing drought relief based on crop damage is already underway in around 20 talukas. Since Central assistance may take time to arrive, the Chief Minister said the state government is preparing to provide immediate assistance to farmers through its own available resources. Crop surveys have been completed in approximately 23,000 villages, and the remaining survey work is being carried out rapidly. He emphasised that the state government aims to complete all formalities and release aid to farmers at the earliest. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also met Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to resolve the land-allocation issue for Nagpur Airport's new terminal building. The required 27-acre plot is currently in the possession of the Indian Air Force (IAF). The IAF has taken a positive stance on immediately transferring the land needed for the construction of the new terminal. Construction on the remaining portion will be completed subsequently, after which that section will also be transferred. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari joined the meeting through videoconferencing. The Ministry of Defence has agreed to grant the necessary permissions regarding helicopter parking and operational adjustments in the IAF area to facilitate the movement of heavy construction machinery. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be drafted for this purpose. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said these developments have effectively cleared all major hurdles for the Nagpur Airport terminal project. Commenting on the ongoing MPSC student protests, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the state government has taken a positive stance on all five demands submitted by the student delegation. The government has expressed readiness to conduct a judicial inquiry into the allegations against the Chairman of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC). Should any malpractice or misconduct be established in the inquiry, action would proceed under Article 317 of the Constitution, he added. To enhance transparency in MPSC examinations, a committee headed by V. Radha has been established to suggest reforms after consulting students, professors, alumni and other stakeholders. However, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed disappointment over what he described as the political misuse of the protests instead of focusing on genuine student issues. He commended the state police for handling the situation with restraint during the demonstrations and reiterated that student welfare remains the government's highest priority.

BJP announces three candidates for Maharashtra MLC polls (Lead)
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Political manoeuvres in Maharashtra have intensified after the Election Commission announced the upcoming Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) elections. On the heels of the Congress Party's announcement, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday released its official list of candidates for three key constituencies: Nagpur Graduate: Former MLA Sudhakar Kohale; Pune Graduate: Smita Jadhav, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Dr D Y Patil University, Pune Teachers: Kaustubh Gawade, Chief Executive Officer of the prominent Shri Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha in Kolhapur. With the announcement of these nominees, BJP will contest three seats, leaving Nagpur Teachers constituency to Shiv Sena and Aurangabad Graduates constituency to NCP. Polling for the five constituencies is slated for October 23. Kohale has been fielded to take on the incumbent Congress MLC, Abhijit Wanjari. Kohale, a seasoned leader and educator by background, previously served as a two-time municipal corporator, Water Supply Committee Chairman in Nagpur, and Nagpur East MLA (2014). In Pune Graduate Constituency, Dr Jadhav will face the Maha Vikas Aghadi, which has yet to declare its nominee. In Pune Teachers Constituency, Gawade will take on the sitting legislator Jayant Asgaonkar, who has been renominated by the Congress party. Incidentally, Shiv Sena and NCP have yet to announce their nominations. Shiv Sena has staked its claim over Pune and Amravati Teachers Constituencies. Congress has already announced Prof Aditi Rishikesh Pohare as nominee for the Amravati Teachers' Constituency. The Shiv Sena-UBT and NCP-SP are angry over Congress's decision to announce three nominees. The Election Commission of India (ECI) on September 22 sounded the poll bugle for the elections to five key Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) seats, triggering intense political manoeuvring within the ruling Mahayuti alliance. The election covers three Graduate constituencies (Aurangabad, Pune, and Nagpur) and two Teachers constituencies (Amravati and Pune), where the terms of the sitting members are set to expire on December 6, 2026. According to the official schedule released by the ECI, the last date for nominations: October 6, 2026; scrutiny of nominations: October 7, 2026; last date for withdrawal: October 9, 2026; polling day: October 23, 2026 (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM); and counting of votes: October 27, 2026. Incumbent representatives from Graduate Constituencies include Aurangabad Division Bhanudasrao Satish Chavan (NCP), Pune Division Arun Ganpati Lad (NCP-SP) and Nagpur Division Abhijit Govindrao Wanjari (Congress). The legislative members from the Teachers Constituencies include Amravati Division Kiran Ramrao Sarnaik (Independent but officially joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena as an associate member) and Pune Division Jayant Dinkar Asgaonkar (Congress).
