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.

The Cockroach Janta Party, India's fast-growing satirical collective with millions of followers online, seeking to bring together youngsters to raise their concerns about the government, now appears to be facing some internal trouble or identity crisis of sorts as a lawyer filed an application with the Election Commission to register the party in his name. The CJP emerged only a few days ago amid a controversy surrounding remarks attributed to the Chief Justice of India during a court hearing. It rapidly gained traction online through memes and political commentary around issues such as unemployment, examination paper leaks and education. Sudhir Jakhar, a lawyer from Haryanas Panipat, who claims to be the national convener of the days-old outfit, wants to register the collective in his name, separately from its founder, Abhijeet Dipke, according to a Hindustan Times report. The report stated that Jakhar submitted the application, seeking registration of the outfit under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act. According to Jakhar, he decided to take this step after Dipke declined to come to India to register the party. Dipke declined to come to India and convert this movement into an actual ground-level political party. Seeing the anger among the youth and the scale of what has been built, we felt that if someone else registered the name first and misused it, the entire movement would be lost. We decided to move ahead ourselves to ensure that does not happen, Jakhar was quoted as saying. The HT report said the objectives of the party, which Jakhar differs from the original demands of the CJP. The original CJP 'manifesto' has five demands: No post-retirement rewards for chief justices, election Commissioners must face action under UAPA if legitimate votes are deleted from the electoral rolls, half of all Parliamentary seats and Cabinet positions must be reserved for women, media licences of outlets owned by corporate conglomerates must be revoked to ensure independent journalism, and MLAs and MPs who switch parties after winning elections must be banned from contesting any election for 20 years. However, the outfit that Jakhar seeks to register has objectives such as transparency, communal harmony, peaceful democratic reforms, environmental protection, animal welfare, social audit of governance, legal awareness, and whistleblower protection. The development came even as Dipke moved the Delhi High Court against the blocking of the outfit's X account. The collective that built its popularity, among other things, by mocking the ways of Indian politics and politicians who switch sides at a whim, may be headed to an ownership battle and ideological splits usually reserved for full-fledged political parties.

NEEV Foundation Launches 'Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega' Summer Relief Campaign Across Six States
With temperatures breaching 45°C across large parts of India, NEEV Foundation has mounted a large-scale summer relief campaign, “ Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega ,” targeting outdoor workers, the general public, stray animals and birds bearing the brunt of this season’s extreme heat. The initiative is being rolled out across six states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra. NEEV Foundation launches ‘Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega’ summer relief campaign across six states NEEV Foundation is deploying 60 relief vans to distribute clean, cold drinking water at high-footfall public areas and directly to those working long hours in the open, including traffic police personnel, delivery executives, construction workers, street vendors and autorickshaw drivers. Alongside water, the vans will distribute ORS pouches and protective caps to counter heat exposure and help replenish minerals lost to excessive perspiration. Acknowledging that the crisis extends beyond human welfare, the Foundation has installed water tanks for stray animals and placed bird feeders and water trays across multiple locations. The campaign is anchored in a simple idea of access and empathy. As the foundation describes it: “The thirsty always come to the well. This summer, we decided to take the well to the thirsty.” Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Vivek Patni, Director – Wonder Cement and Founder of Neev Foundation said, “India’s summers are becoming increasingly harsh for people who spend most of their day outdoors. Through this campaign, we wanted to create immediate, accessible relief for those who keep our cities functioning despite extreme weather conditions. Sometimes the most meaningful interventions are also the simplest, whether it is offering a glass of water, a moment of shade or basic support during difficult conditions .” He added, “ NEEV was founded on the belief that social responsibility begins with showing up for people when they need support the most. We hope this campaign also encourages citizens to participate in small acts of care, from keeping water outside homes for birds and stray animals to supporting delivery personnel and outdoor workers during peak summer hours. Collective action often begins with individual awareness. Sometimes, a small beginning brings a big change and starts a revolution .” The campaign carries a deliberate public mobilisation intent, seeking to deepen community participation in heat relief at a time when rising temperatures are emerging as a sustained challenge across urban and rural India. The seasonal effort is part of a broader development mandate. NEEV Foundation’s Rural Development Centre in Nimbahera anchors its long-term work, which spans skill development for women under the Hunar programme, community infrastructure through Sanrachna, educational support under Udaan, healthcare outreach through Arogyam and sustainability initiatives under Eco Green.

This design reflects sunlight and traps air, creating an insulating layer. The kulhad roof significantly reduces indoor temperatures during summer. This eco-friendly solution offers cost savings and minimal maintenance.
will-haryana-save-delhi-national-capital-faces-grim-water-crisis-as-yamuna-dries-up
The national capital is reeling under an intense water crisis, leaving many parts of Delhi, especially Sultanpuri, Rohini, and Kirari, dry and thirsty. The situation is such that the Wazirabad barrage, upstream of the Yamuna, has been reduced to small rivulets. Following the crisis, the state has sought help from the Haryana government. The Delhi government wants Haryana to provide additional water for the next four weeks or else the water supply could be severely disrupted, according to reports. Delhi is receiving approximately 1,050 cusecs of water from the Haryana, Bhakra, and Yamuna systems. Officials say that if an additional 250 cusecs of water is received, the current crisis could be significantly alleviated. A month ago, the Delhi government made serious efforts to obtain 151 cusecs of water from Haryana. In a meeting held in Chandigarh in the first week of March between the officials of Delhi Jal Board and Haryana Irrigation Department, the Jal Board demanded an additional 100 cusecs of water, in derogation of the May 1994 water-sharing agreement, and 51 cusecs of water from its irrigation quota. Water level plunges The water level at the Wazirabad reservoir plunged to 668.7 feet on Monday, while 674.5 feet is required for normal operation, according to the Indian Express. The water level at many points of the 500 m channel is only knee-high in some places, exposing sand beds. It is from the barrage that water is being supplied to the two largest plants in the city Wazirabad and Chandrawal. Of this, the water treatment at the Wazirabad plant has dropped by 34 per cent, while other plants in the capital are also operating at approximately 10 per cent less capacity. Only the Sonia Vihar and Bhagirathi plants are currently operating normally. The water crisis is deepening in Sultanpuri, Rohini, and Kirari, with some areas reporting water supply disruption for the past two days . According to local media reports, Ranikheda and Rasulpur villages, along with seven surrounding colonies, have been without water for two days.

fall-of-rjd-and-congress-in-bihar-what-remains-of-the-opposition-now
The principal opposition party in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal, went from 81 legislators in 2021 in the Assembly to just 25 in the 2025 Assembly elections, a decline of more than 65 per cent in its strength. The Indian National Congress too suffered a similar slide, shrinking from 19 MLAs to six. The reduced numbers have not only weakened their political standing but also deepened resentment within their ranks. According to political observers, both camps are struggling more with their internal issues than with effectively occupying the opposition space. This has created a vacuum within Bihars Opposition politics. Key leaders at the helm in both the RJD and Congress reportedly do not hold a high opinion of each other, further suggesting a freeze in ties. That makes a collective push against the ruling alliance difficult, especially after the NDAs massive mandate of 202 seats in the 243-member assembly. We have been part of the RJD-led coalition for the past few decades and we dont have a good experience with them, politically as well as electorally. We have lost elections with them and lost our space too. There seemingly has been an informal decoupling, a former Congress MLA said. However, neither side has officially indicated any break in the alliance. With the RJD weakened, some Congress leaders believe this was the right moment for the grand old party to attempt a revival and tap into the emerging vacuum. But the Congress leadership in the state has shown little sign of organisational rebuilding or political aggression that could signal a recovery. Even the BJP-led government in the state sees the Opposition as an incapacitated group, which, according to leaders, has also contributed to the BJP keeping a relatively low profile on its communal politics. It was expected that after the BJP came back, there could be communal posturing, but till now there hasnt been anything like that, a Congress leader said. Earlier, they could not have done it because the BJP was under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and there were direct instructions against any communal activities. While the RJDs more than two decades out of power as the principal opposition party has infused hopelessness among sections of its cadre, the Congress faced a different crisis after the 2025 Assembly elections. A large section of party workers expressed dissatisfaction with the state leadership over ticket distribution, alleging that preference was given to new entrants while old-timers were sidelined. The Congress has also not taken any action against the three cross-voters in the Rajya Sabha elections, unlike in states such as Odisha and Haryana where cross-voting legislators were suspended. Leaders in the state believe disciplinary action is unlikely, as the three MLAs constitute nearly half of the partys current Assembly strength.
