नई दिल्ली: पूर्व मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त एसवाई क़ुरैशी ने कहा कि संविधान में लिखा था कि चुनाव आयुक्त की नियुक्ति के लिए सरकार को कानून बनना चाहिए, जो 70 साल में कानून नहीं बना था. इसलिए सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि सरकार को कानून बनना चाहिए. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने अंतिम व्यवस्था के तहत कॉलेजियम बनाने को कहा, जिसमें प्रधानमंत्री, लोकसभा में विपक्ष के नेता और सुप्रीम कोर्ट के मुख्य न्यायाधीश शामिल हो. लेकिन सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने ऐसा नहीं कहा कि आप नए कानून में कॉलेजियम व्यवस्था को डालिए. उन्होंने कहा कि हालांकि जो आत्मा सुप्रीम कोर्ट के जजमेंट की थी कि सरकार यूनिलैटरल अपॉइंटमेंट ना करें. उस पर उंगली उठ सकती है. चुनाव आयुक्त की नियुक्ति के लिए बिल में प्रस्तावित सिलेक्शन कमेटी का जो प्रस्ताव है, उसमें प्रधानमंत्री और कैबिनेट मंत्री हमेशा एक तरफ रहेंगे और विपक्ष के नेता तो हमेशा के लिए आउट वोट हो जाएगा. एसवाई क़ुरैशी ने कहा कि सुप्रीम कोर्ट के मुख्य न्यायाधीश कई कॉलेजियम के हिस्सा हैं. इसमें भी अगर वह बने रहते तो और अच्छा था. तीसरा मेंबर सिलेक्शन कमिटी का स्वतंत्र होना चाहिए. आप किसी पूर्व सुप्रीम कोर्ट...

A judge of the Bombay High Court has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct an inquiry into a letter which claimed that she showed undue favour to an accused. Justice Bharati Dangre on Thursday recused herself from the case before her, but said such "disgruntled elements" which make an accusation against a judge and "walk away" without waiting for the consequences of their "intimidating action". An application made by Suresh Khemani, an accused in a CBI case, had been listed before her after the earlier judge had recused or withdrawn from the case. Justice Dangare said that a person named Hiten Takkar sent her a letter last week suggesting that "some favour or benevolence was either done or attempted to be done in favour of the applicant (Khemani) on some monetary terms" and the interim relief granted to him was continued illegally. She should dismiss the plea and make the accused face a trial, the letter demanded. She wa...

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the railways to produce the record pertaining to notices of removal pasted on two mosques at Tilak Marg and Babar Road for being "unauthorised" structures on its land.
