  • Your Ten Minute Read! Daily News Page January 22Nd, 2021
    Your ten minute read! Daily News Page January 22nd, 2021 Law, Policy and Governance Analysis : Are courts encroaching on the powers of the executive ​ 1. Background - On January 12, 2021, the Supreme Court stayed the implementation of three controversial farm laws passed in September 2020 and ordered the constitution of a committee of experts to negotiate between the farmers’ bodies and the Government of India. - Rather than deliberating on the constitutionality of the three laws, the court appears to be trying to move some of the parties towards a political settlement. Arguably, in doing so, it is wading into the domain of the government. Has the court in this case abdicated its constitutional duty mandated by the Constitution and is this a growing trend? 2. What the procedure ought to be - What’s really striking here is that nobody asked the court to intervene in this particular manner, to break the deadlock. The Court does not take up any constitutional issues though these issues have been pleaded before the court by the farmers associations. The issues are of federalism, of agriculture being a State subject, as well as the manner in which the voice vote was passed in the Rajya Sabha, which was controversial. What is striking is that the court does not even set out clearly what the legal grounds of challenge are. - Courts are, of course, competent to issue stay orders on parliamentary laws, but they need to set out legal reasons. What we see is that the court is actually abdicating its constitutional responsibility of judicial review.

  • Daily Health News Bulletin
    DAILY NEWS BULLETIN LEADING HEALTH, POPULATION AND FAMILY WELFARE STORIES OF THE DAY Thursday 20210408 vaccine Centre, Maha face off over supply of vaccine dosesState’s stock of vax doses to last 3 more days, shuts down several centres (Hindustan Times: 20210408) https://epaper.hindustantimes.com/Home/ArticleView Maharashtra is facing a shortage of Covid-19 vaccine doses and has shut down several vaccination centres. It has already requested the Centre to provide adequate stock as it has set a target of inoculating 600,000 beneficiaries a day, said Rajesh Tope, state health minister, on Wednesday. Several states have contended they will run out of coronavirus vaccine doses within days and requested the central government for replenishments, prompting a strong rebuttal from the Union health minister Harsh Vardhan who accused three states – all under Opposition governments – of politicising the issue. But the war of words appeared to be particularly intense with Maharashtra. In his statement, Harsh Vardhan singled out Maharashtra for officials and leaders flagging possible shortage and criticised what he said was “misgovernance and utter casual approach of Maharashtra government in battling the virus”. The state is left with 1,400,000 vaccine doses, which will last only three days. It has demanded a stock of four million doses a week from the Centre. According to figures analysed from the Co-WIN dashboard, Maharashtra has delivered the highest number of doses among all states at 7.4 million, although in per capita terms, it has delivered 60,788 doses per million people, slightly lower than the national average of 65,329.
