SC said, minor cannot be forced to conceive. india news

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा, किसी नाबालिग को गर्भधारण के लिए मजबूर नहीं किया जा सकताJustice B.V. A bench of Justices Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said that forcing a woman, especially a minor, to carry a full term pregnancy against her will, would cause mental, emotional and physical trauma.Rejecting the suggestion of allowing the girl to give birth and giving the newborn baby for adoption, the bench said that the choice of the pregnant woman is more important. The Supreme Court bench said, “This cannot be considered especially in cases where the child to be born is unwanted. In such a situation, directing the pregnant woman to give birth to the child against her will and hence to continue her pregnancy would negate the welfare of the pregnant woman and subject her to the yet-to-be-born child.”

Election Commission says Bengal and Tamil Nadu have broken 'previous pattern' with no recommendation for repoll

New Delhi: Election Commission sources told TOI on Friday that not a single repoll has been recommended at 44,376 polling stations in West Bengal and 75,064 polling stations in Tamil Nadu. This is a break from the pattern of multiple re-polls recommended in previous elections, especially in Bengal, due to political violence and alleged electoral malpractices. Both Bengal and Tamil Nadu saw the highest ever voting percentage on Thursday. Bengal recorded around 92.9% voting in the first phase after the names of around 83 lakh voters were removed from the state’s electoral rolls due to SIR.Three-point verification was conducted at all polling stations in Bengal on Thursday to keep a close watch on electoral malpractices, colloquially known as ‘Chapa’, ‘source jamming’ and ‘booth jamming’ linked to the previous elections in the state.The first point of verification was the immediate area around the polling station. Section 163 of the BNSS (which corresponds to Section 144 of the erstwhile IPC) was imposed in an area within 200 meters of polling stations on Thursday. The identity cards of every person entering this area were checked and only genuine voters, election officials etc. were allowed entry.The second round of verification was done at the point of entry into the polling station. Booth level officials and NSS and NCC volunteers were deployed to check each person before queuing up to vote. This included verifying the identity of ‘Pardansheen’ women (women who cover their faces as a religious custom) by female staff. Later, as per the instructions of the Election Commission, the identity card, voter card or voter slip of each person was checked before being allowed to proceed in the queue of voters.The third verification was the general identity check conducted by the polling officer inside the polling station, before the voter gets his finger inked and casts his vote.

Opposition files fresh notice demanding removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar

New Delhi: Opposition MPs in the Rajya Sabha on Friday submitted a fresh notice to the Secretary General, demanding a motion to remove Gyanesh Kumar from the post of Chief Election Commissioner on the grounds of “proven misconduct”.Earlier this month, notices submitted by opposition MPs in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were rejected by the Speaker and the Chairman respectively. In its latest notice, the opposition has made nine new allegations against Kumar.According to Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh, a resolution has been sought “on the basis of proven misconduct” – an example of this being the “straight talk” social media post by the Election Commission after the meeting with the TMC delegation on April 8. The meeting ended in a heated exchange, with TMC leaders saying the CEC told them to “get lost”, and the Election Commission accusing them of shouting.Ramesh said, “There are now nine specific allegations against the CEC, which have been recorded in great detail and cannot be easily denied or dismissed. His continuance in office is an attack on the Constitution. It is extremely disgraceful that the man continues to hold office to follow the orders of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.”The resolution has been signed by MPs from Congress, TMC, DMK, SP, RJD, CPI, CPM, NCP (SP), Shiv Sena (UBT), JMM, IUML, NC and AAP.Under the fresh charges, the opposition has accused Kumar of “continuing partisan bias in implementing the Model Code of Conduct”, alleging that the Election Commission failed to act on complaints against PM Narendra Modi’s address to the nation on April 18 over the defeated Constitution Amendment Bill related to women’s reservation amid the assembly elections. It added that the CEC has not issued any show cause notice, any advisory and any public response on any complaint made in this regard. Other allegations include “administrative lapses evidencing institutional closeness with the governing party” and “conduct unbecoming a constitutional functionary”. The list of allegations also includes large-scale disenfranchisement in West Bengal including deletion of names of about 91 lakh voters and judicial disenfranchisement of about 34 lakh voters.

Supreme Court says huge turnout in Bengal and Tamil Nadu is real sign of democracy India News

Supreme Court says heavy voting in Bengal and Tamil Nadu is real sign of democracy

New Delhi: After dealing with petitions challenging the special intensive review and deploying judicial officers to conduct an impartial investigation, the Supreme Court on Friday described the record 92 per cent turnout in the first phase of West Bengal assembly elections as a sign of the strong democratic process in the country. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi made the remarks when TMC MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee, a vocal opponent of SIR, said, “A good thing happened. A record 92% turnout happened because all the migrant laborers reached the state to cast their votes due to the fear that if they did not do so, their names would be struck off from the voter list.”

People should realize the power of their vote: CJI Kant

Justice Bagchi said, “Another good thing is that there was no violence during the voting except isolated incidents.” CJI Kant said, “As a citizen of India, I am very happy to see the high percentage of voting. People need to participate in voting.”Solicitor General Tushar Mehta also said the forces did a commendable job in preventing violence which resulted in high turnout. Justice Bagchi cited a Bengali proverb to describe earlier violence during state elections and said, “When kings fight, poor people suffer and die”.CJI Surya Kant said, “People should realize the power of their vote in a democracy. More than 92% people went to vote. When a large number of people go to vote, there is no violence. This shows that people realized that their power lies in the democratic system.”SG Mehta said, “92 per cent voting is historic. Barring sporadic violence, the forces have done a commendable job. We should be grateful to them. The state has a history of violence before and after the elections.”The CJI said, “This shows the fairness of the democratic process. There has been heavy voting in Tamil Nadu also.”Justice Bagchi said, “Voting in the democratic process is something that needs to be protected and respected. Otherwise, the basic essence of democracy will be lost.”Turning to senior advocate DS Naidu, representing Election CommissionJustice Bagchi said, “For the change, Naidu’s client has been appreciated by all.” This unexpected praise for the Election Commission angered Banerjee, who disagreed with it and said that the Calcutta High Court has been reprimanding the Election Commission for the last three days. Naidu protested and said that Banerjee was behaving inappropriately and unfairly. “It is Banerjee who is misusing the Election Commission in the courts,” he said.Mehta requested the bench to end the proceedings and warned that the debate would turn into a political discourse by Trinamool. The bench adjourned by asking both Naidu and Banerjee to have lunch together.
