The Centre has cleared four of the six names of advocates recommended by the Supreme Court collegium in February for assignment as judges of the Madras High Court. However, the request of Abdul Ghani Abdul Hameed and R. John Sathya is told to be pending.

Since then, Jain, now assisted by his son Vishnu, has been at the center of a string of petitions that have suddenly been revived in courts — from Gyanvapi to Shahi Idgah, Taj Mahal to Qutub Minar. We take a look at how the father-son duo got here.
P Chidambaram writes on how the fuel cost surge has intensified the face-off between the Centre and states: “On May 22, the Finance Minister tried to shame the states: ‘I have decreased duties, now you reduce VAT’.

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has locked horns with the state’s ruling TMC-led administration repeatedly since he assumed charge in 2019. As tensions continue to flare, it appears the state government is contemplating removing him from the post of Visitor in private universities.
