  • Supreme Court Stops Punjab’s NRI Quota Expansion, Says ‘Fraud Must End’ |

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a high court order that quashed the Punjab government’s decision to widen the ambit of ‘NRI quota’ in undergraduate medical admissions to include distant relatives, observing this quota expansion was a “complete fraud” which must be put to an end. 

    “This is nothing but a money spinning machine,” observed a bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra while dismissing the state government’s appeal against the verdict of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. 

    On September 10, the high court had set aside the AAP-led government’s August 20 notification that expanded the NRI seat category to include distant relatives of candidates “such as uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins” for admissions under the 15 per cent NRI quota to medical and dental courses in state government colleges. 

    “We will dismiss all the petitions. This NRI business is nothing but a fraud. We will put an end to all this…. now the so called precedents must give way to primacy of law,” the bench said. 

    The top court said distant relatives of a ‘mama, tai, taya,’ who are settled abroad, will get admissions ahead of meritorious candidates and this cannot be allowed. 

    “This is completely a fraud. And this is what we are doing with our education system!…We will affirm the high court judgement. We must stop this NRI quota business now. The judges know what they are dealing with. The high court has dealt with the case threadbare,” the CJI said. 

    “Let us put a lid on this…what is this ward? You just have to say that I am looking after X … We cannot lend our authority to something which is blatantly illegal.” 

    Terming the high court verdict “absolutely right,” the top court said, “Look at the deleterious consequences… the candidates who have three times higher marks will lose admission (in NEET-UG courses).” 

    Senior advocate Shadan Farasat, appearing for the Punjab government, said other states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh also followed the broader interpretation of the term ‘NRI quota.’ 

    Moreover, the states have the power to decide as to how 15 per cent NRI quota within the 85 per cent quota for the states has to be granted. 

    A total of 85 per cent NEET-UG seats in medical colleges are filled up by the states in medical colleges under their jurisdiction, the counsel, who was in favour of the NRI quota, told the bench. 

    A division bench of the high court had come out with an elaborate judgement setting aside the state government decision to broaden the ambit of NRI quota for admissions in medical colleges in Punjab. 

    The high court took note of the submissions that the decision to widen the ambit of NRI quota was taken to divert the seats which would have otherwise come to the general category applicants. 

    “Imparting education is not an economic activity but a welfare-oriented endeavour as the ultimate aim is to achieve an egalitarian and prosperous society in order to bring about social transformation and upliftment of the nation. 

    “Doctrine of merit and fairness cannot be sacrificed only because the students falling in the expanded definition of Non-Resident Indian (NRI) possess financial muscle,” the high court had said. 

    “Capitation fee has totally been prohibited. If the admissions in the expanded NRI category to include non-genuine NRIs are permitted; the prohibition made on charge of capitation fee would serve no higher purpose, as the State/private colleges would be at liberty to reap the benefits by amending the provisions according to their whims, which means accepting it by disguising the process,” according to the high court. 

    The expansion of ‘NRI’ definition through the state government corrigendum is “unjustified for several reasons,” the high court said. 

    “Initially, the ‘NRI Quota’ was intended to benefit genuine NRIs and their children, allowing them to access education opportunities in India. By broadening the definition to include distant relatives such as uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins, the core objective of NRI quota is undermined. 

    “This widening opens the door for potential misuse, allowing individuals who do not fall within the original intent of the policy to take advantage of these seats, potentially bypassing more deserving candidates,” it said.

  • Israel-Hamas War: Death Toll Raised To 558 In Israeli Strikes In Lebanon Over Two Days | world news

    Lebanese health authorities on Tuesday raised the death toll from two days of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah militants to 558. Palestinian officials in Gaza, meanwhile, said new Israeli strike killed at least seven people in the southern city of Khan Younis.

    Israel’s military says it will do “whatever is necessary” to push Hezbollah away from Lebanon’s border with Israel. Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire since the Israel-Hamas war began. On Monday, Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, killing nearly 500 people and wounding more than 1,600 others.

    Thousands of people fled southern Lebanon, jamming the main highway to Beirut in the biggest exodus since the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah war.

    It’s a staggering toll for a country still reeling from a deadly attack on communication devices the week before. Lebanon blamed the attacks on Israel, but Israel did not confirm or deny its responsibility.

    Hezbollah again launched some 100 projectiles toward Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said.

  • Loharidih murder case: Former CM Baghel met the undertrial prisoners lodged in Kawardha jail, said- FIR should be registered against SP and police officers

    Pradeep Gupta, Kawardha. Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel reached the jail today to meet the undertrial prisoners lodged in Kawardha district jail in the Loharidih murder case. During this, he enquired about the well-being of the prisoners and listened to their problems. After the meeting, he strongly targeted the government’s attitude in the case, and also demanded to register an FIR against the SP and other police officers in the case of the death of Prashant Sahu in jail.

    During the discussion with the media, the former CM did not give any satisfactory answer to the question asked about the Biranpur massacre. Baghel said, “Do not link this incident with the Loharidih incident. The incident here is different.” The former CM raised the question and said that the current Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai has not reached the spot, but only Vijay Sharma has come. “Is he the Chief Minister or Deputy CM?” He said that the government has information about those who have been arrested, but the government is not giving information about the people missing from the village.

    Former CM Baghel said, “Kawardha is my Rajnandgaon parliamentary constituency, that’s why I have come here. After Prashant Sahu’s death in jail, I have come to get justice. Today I am in the opposition, so I am raising the voice of the people. Whoever is in the government will talk about governance and administration, but the opposition will talk about the people. For this reason, I have come to meet the accused. He alleged that there are accused in the Loharidih murder case. They should be punished, but here innocent people have been taken out of their homes and sent to jail.”

    Demand for FIR against SP and other police officers

    Former CM Baghel, while talking to the media, said that the police has hastily removed the villagers from their homes and sent them to jail without any investigation. “The government has information about those who have been arrested, but the government is not giving information about the people missing from the village,” the former CM also demanded that an FIR be registered against the SP and other police officers in the case of the death of Prashant Sahu, who was in jail.

    69 villagers were arrested in the case

    Let us tell you that in the Loharidih murder case, the police had arrested 69 villagers, including 33 women and 36 men. After the death of Prashant Sahu in Kawardha jail, 33 women are imprisoned in Durg Women’s Jail and 34 men in Kawardha District Jail. One person is admitted in Raipur Ambedkar Hospital due to deteriorating condition.

    Bhupesh Baghel was accompanied by several prominent leaders during his meeting with the prisoners in jail, including Daleshwar Sahu (MLA Dongargaon), Indrashah Mandavi (MLA Mohla Manpur), Khujji MLA Bholaram Sahu, District President Horiram Sahu, and District Panchayat member Tukaram Sahu.

Everyone knows what the rules are, whether the difference is of 1 gram or 100 grams, she will be disqualified under the rules.”
