The State of Chhattisgarh – Acquittal on Grounds of Weak Circumstantial Evidence India and Canada Diplomatic Row Escalates Over Alleged Involvement in Sikh Leader’s Killing Shristi Singh 30 September 2025 Introduction Diplomatic tensions between India and Canada have escalated sharply after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that Indian agents might have been involved in the killing of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. The claim has triggered a series of diplomatic expulsions, suspension of services, and a freeze in bilateral talks, straining relations between the two countries. Background Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan activist and Canadian citizen, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, Canada, in June 2023. India had declared Nijjar a wanted terrorist, accusing him of promoting separatism and violent extremism. Canada, home to one of the world’s largest Sikh diasporas, has long faced criticism from India for allegedly allowing extremist Khalistani groups to operate with impunity. The Allegations On 18 September 2023, Prime Minister Trudeau told the Canadian Parliament that “credible allegations” linked Indian government agents to Nijjar’s killing. He described the matter as a serious violation of Canadian sovereignty and urged Indian cooperation in the investigation. India firmly rejected the claims, calling them “absurd and motivated”, and demanded concrete evidence from Canada before making such accusations. Diplomatic Actions Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat. India retaliated by expelling a Canadian diplomat of equivalent rank. India suspended visa services for Canadian citizens, citing “security threats.” Ongoing trade talks between the two nations were placed on hold. International Reactions United States & United Kingdom: Expressed concern, urging both sides to maintain dialogue and support transparent investigations. Australia: Stressed respect for international norms and due process. Civil Society Groups: Divided—some backed Trudeau’s stance, while others accused Canada of overlooking extremist activities within its borders. Legal and Political Implications International Law: If proven, the allegations could amount to a violation of sovereignty and trigger significant legal and diplomatic consequences. For India: Potential damage to its diplomatic image and relations with Western allies. For Canada: Trudeau faces domestic pressure for escalating tensions without presenting hard evidence, risking political backlash. Conclusion The India-Canada diplomatic dispute underscores the delicate intersection of diaspora politics, counterterrorism, and international diplomacy. As investigations proceed, the path ahead will determine whether the two nations can de-escalate tensions or face a prolonged diplomatic standoff. A balanced resolution remains crucial for protecting trade ties, people-to-people relations, and regional stability. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The State of Chhattisgarh – Acquittal on Grounds of Weak Circumstantial Evidence Maintainability of an Election Petition and the Need for Substantive Material Facts under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 Supreme Court to Review Plea on Electoral Bonds Scheme Shristi Singh 30 September 2025 Introduction The Supreme Court of India has agreed to review fresh petitions against the Electoral Bonds Scheme, reigniting debate over political funding and transparency in India. Introduced in 2018, the scheme allows individuals and corporations to donate money to political parties anonymously—a system critics argue encourages opacity and undermines democratic accountability. Background of the Scheme The Electoral Bonds Scheme was introduced by the Government of India with the stated objective of creating a “clean and transparent” channel for political donations. Donors purchase bonds through the State Bank of India (SBI). Political parties encash them through designated accounts. Donor identity remains confidential. While the government claims the scheme curbs cash-based donations and black money, opposition parties, activists, and civil society groups argue it promotes opaque funding, lack of accountability, and corporate influence in politics. Supreme Court’s Involvement Several Public Interest Litigations (PILs), including one by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), have challenged the scheme’s constitutionality. Petitioners argue: Violation of Right to Information – Citizens must know the sources of political funding. Unfair Advantage to Ruling Party – SBI’s government control could give ruling parties privileged access to donor details. Corporate Influence – Large corporations can anonymously shape policies through donations. The Supreme Court, while not delivering a verdict yet, has agreed to a comprehensive review and scheduled hearings in the coming months. Political Reactions Opposition Parties: Welcomed the Court’s move, framing it as a step toward protecting democracy. Ruling Party: Defended the scheme, highlighting its role in reducing cash-based, untraceable donations. Civil Society: Stressed the need for donor disclosure, arguing that transparency is essential for an informed electorate. Legal Significance This case holds major implications for electoral democracy and constitutional rights in India. Possible outcomes include: Striking down the scheme as unconstitutional. Modifying it with stricter disclosure and accountability mechanisms. Upholding the scheme while balancing confidentiality with public transparency. Conclusion The Supreme Court’s review of the Electoral Bonds Scheme marks a landmark moment in India’s political and legal discourse. Its decision will shape the future of electoral funding, transparency, and the integrity of democratic processes. Until a final judgment is delivered, the scheme remains at the center of a heated debate on whether it strengthens clean politics or deepens opacity in governance.

Officials from the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) emphasized greater cooperation, improved coordination, and reduced tensions, signaling renewed efforts to strengthen bilateral ties. Background The India-Bangladesh border is one of the most complex frontiers in South Asia. Spanning over 4,000 km, it cuts across rivers, villages, forests, and farmlands. Despite strong diplomatic ties, challenges persist over illegal migration, cattle and narcotics smuggling, border killings, and river water-sharing disputes.Illegal migration has remained a politically charged issue in India, particularly in states like Assam and West Bengal. Smuggling, meanwhile, continues to fuel cross-border tensions. Another unresolved matter is the Teesta River water-sharing agreement, which has long eluded consensus despite repeated negotiations.Annual BSF-BGB talks are designed to manage these operational and political issues. The September 2025 dialogue holds special significance as both governments face domestic pressures to ensure border security and economic cooperation. Key Developments The week-long talks were led by BSF Director General Nitin Agrawal and BGB Director General Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui. India’s Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla inaugurated the meeting, calling the border a “bridge of cooperation” rather than a barrier. Key issues discussed: Illegal Migration – India raised concerns and urged Bangladesh to tighten surveillance. Cross-Border Smuggling – Plans to curb narcotics, arms, and cattle trafficking, including drone surveillance and night-vision tools. Border Killings – Both sides reviewed civilian casualty incidents; India stressed a “zero-tolerance” policy. River Water Sharing – Revival of the stalled Teesta water-sharing agreement was explored. Joint Cooperation – Agreements on joint patrols, intelligence sharing, and training programs were reached. Maj. Gen. Siddiqui reaffirmed Dhaka’s commitment to addressing India’s concerns, stressing that Bangladesh values its partnership with India for regional stability. Issues Illegal Migration: Political and security challenge in India’s northeast. Smuggling: Undermines both trade and security. Border Killings: A sensitive humanitarian and diplomatic concern. Water Disputes: The Teesta issue impacts farmers on both sides. External Influence: Rising Chinese presence in South Asia adds geopolitical urgency. Current Status Talks concluded in a cordial environment, with both countries reaffirming commitment to long-term cooperation. While concrete solutions on migration and water-sharing remain pending, enhanced joint patrols, technological surveillance, and a renewed dialogue on Teesta represent tangible progress. Conclusion The September 2025 India-Bangladesh border talks highlight both challenges and opportunities in managing one of South Asia’s most sensitive borders. By prioritizing cooperation over confrontation, the two nations signaled a shared commitment to stability, trade, and regional trust-building. While issues like migration and water-sharing require sustained negotiations, this dialogue underscores that both sides are determined to chart a path toward stronger bilateral partnership.

Dipak Kumar Sanyal & Ors. (2023) PM Modi Launches National Urban Housing Mission 2.0: A Renewed Push for Affordable Housing Ahead of 2026 Elections Shristi Singh 30 September 2025 Introduction Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Urban Housing Mission 2.0 (NUHM 2.0) on Sunday, aiming to provide affordable housing solutions for India’s growing urban population. With a target of 30 million homes by 2030, the initiative is positioned as both a welfare policy and an economic booster ahead of the 2026 general elections. Background The mission builds on the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-Urban), which began in 2015 with the goal of “Housing for All” by 2022. While it sanctioned nearly 12 million homes, execution challenges persisted, including funding gaps, delays, and land constraints. With urbanization projected to reach 40% by 2030, NUHM 2.0 represents a strategic expansion, integrating sustainability, technology, and private sector participation into the housing framework. Key Developments Target of 30 million homes by 2030 across metros, tier-2, and tier-3 towns. Expanded Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS): Cheaper home loans for middle-income groups. Green Housing: Energy-efficient designs, solar integration, and rainwater harvesting. PPP Model: Incentives for private developers to deliver low-cost urban housing. Digital Land Records: Nationwide digitization to streamline approvals and reduce disputes. Budget: Initial allocation of ₹1.5 lakh crore for the first five years, with special infrastructure funds for states. At the Vigyan Bhawan launch, PM Modi emphasized that housing provides not just shelter but “dignity, security, and empowerment.” Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman underlined the scheme’s role in stimulating economic growth while supporting social inclusion. Issues Land acquisition challenges in high-cost urban centers. Funding requirements: Analysts estimate total costs may exceed ₹10 lakh crore. Implementation bottlenecks: Past delays under PMAY fuel skepticism. Opposition criticism: Congress and others argue NUHM 2.0 risks becoming a political showcase without strong execution. Current Status The scheme has been officially launched, with immediate focus on state-level collaboration and private developer participation. Market reactions were positive, with housing sector stocks and cement companies gaining. Opposition parties, however, have demanded accountability on pending PMAY projects before new commitments are made. Conclusion NUHM 2.0 is more than just a housing program—it is a political, social, and economic statement ahead of 2026. If implemented effectively, it could address urban housing shortages, create jobs, stimulate multiple industries, and contribute to India’s climate commitments. However, success will depend on overcoming land, funding, and coordination hurdles. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

Dipak Kumar Sanyal & Ors. (2023) Supreme Court Grants Bail to Teesta Setalvad: A Reaffirmation of Bail Jurisprudence MEA Rebuts NATO Chief’s Claim on Modi-Putin Call Over Ukraine, Tariffs Shivani Garg 30 September 2025 Introduction The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has firmly rejected remarks by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin for clarity on the Ukraine conflict following steep U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. Claim by NATO Chief Rutte alleged that Modi reached out to Putin amid growing U.S. economic pressure, including a 50% tariff on Indian exports, suggesting that Washington’s measures were indirectly shaping Moscow’s calculations in Ukraine. He argued that such developments highlighted the effectiveness of economic sanctions and tariffs in altering geopolitical dynamics. India’s Rebuttal The MEA dismissed the NATO chief’s assertions as “factually incorrect and entirely baseless.” It clarified that no such demand was made by Modi in the manner described. The ministry further urged NATO’s leadership to act with “restraint and responsibility”, cau tioning against speculative comments that misrepresent India’s foreign policy engagements. Background & Context Modi and Putin last spoke on September 17, 2025, on the Prime Minister’s 75th birthday, with India reiterating its position that the conflict in Ukraine should be resolved peacefully through dialogue. India has consistently defended its independent foreign policy, balancing ties with Russia while maintaining strong partnerships with the United States and Europe. The U.S. recently imposed 50% tariffs on Indian exports, citing India’s sustained oil trade with Russia — a move seen as an attempt to exert indirect pressure on New Delhi’s strategic choices. Issues & Implications The episode underscores the growing use of trade and tariffs as tools of foreign policy. NATO’s claim risks straining perceptions of India’s diplomatic neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. India’s strong rebuttal signals its intent to safeguard strategic autonomy and avoid being drawn into competing Western or Russian narratives. Current Status India has not announced any new diplomatic engagement with Russia or NATO following the controversy. The MEA’s statement suggests that New Delhi remains committed to its balancing act — advocating peace in Ukraine, protecting its energy security, and resisting external pressures on its foreign policy decisions. Conclusion The MEA’s rebuttal highlights India’s sensitivity to suggestions that its diplomacy is driven by U.S. trade pressure. At a time when economic measures are increasingly deployed as instruments of global politics, New Delhi appears determined to assert its independence while managing complex ties with both Washington and Moscow.

His appointment, effective from October 9, 2025, comes just days before the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, where crucial decisions on inflation and economic growth are expected. Background The Deputy Governor’s role at the RBI is of high strategic importance, overseeing areas such as monetary policy, banking supervision, and financial regulation. Murmu, a 1979-batch IAS officer from the Gujarat cadre, brings decades of administrative experience. He previously served as the first Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir after Article 370’s abrogation, and as Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, where his financial oversight role was widely commended. Key Developments The Ministry of Finance vannounced Murmu’s appointment on September 29, 2025. He will replace Rajeshwar Rao, who retires on October 8 after guiding the RBI during the pandemic. Murmu’s portfolios within the RBI are yet to be finalized, but he is expected to handle financial supervision and internal regulation. His appointment precedes the MPC meeting scheduled from October 1–3, 2025, where interest rate decisions will be taken amid high inflation. Market reactions were positive, with the Sensex rising by 200 points, reflecting investor confidence in policy continuity. Issues Economic pressures: Inflation stood at 6.4% in August 2025, above RBI’s target range. Growth forecasts have dipped from 6.7% to 6.2%. Global volatility: Rising crude oil prices, a weakening rupee, and global financial uncertainty continue to weigh on India’s economy. RBI–government dynamics: Historically, tensions over autonomy have surfaced; Murmu’s administrative and political experience may help balance this relationship. Current Status Murmu officially assumes office on October 9, 2025 for a three-year term. His immediate challenge will be contributing to RBI’s inflation–growth balancing act in the upcoming MPC meeting. Experts suggest RBI may keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5% while signaling caution in future moves. Conclusion Shirish Chandra Murmu’s appointment as Deputy Governor of the RBI signals the government’s intent to strengthen central bank leadership with experienced administrators. His mix of governance, fiscal oversight, and political sensitivity equips him to navigate India’s pressing economic challenges. As the RBI faces tough policy choices, Murmu’s role will be pivotal in shaping India’s financial stability and economic trajectory ahead of the 2026 general elections.

Long-standing demands for statehood and constitutional safeguards under the Sixth Schedule escalated into unrest in Leh, leaving casualties, property damage, and a deepening rift between the administration and local communities. The episode highlights the intersection of environmental activism, regional aspirations, and governance challenges in India’s newest Union Territory. Background Ladakh was carved out as a Union Territory in 2019 after the abrogation of Article 370. Local communities have since sought full statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which provides tribal regions with autonomy and protection of land, culture, and resources. Sonam Wangchuk, an internationally recognized climate activist and education reformer, became the prominent voice of this movement. On September 10, 2025, he launched a hunger strike to press for these demands, intensifying the agitation. Key Developments The protests had remained peaceful until September 24, 2025. Tensions escalated when two hunger strikers — an elderly man and a woman — were hospitalized. This inflamed anger among youth participants. Demonstrations in Leh turned violent: protesters clashed with security forces, torched a BJP office, damaged government property, and set fire to a paramilitary vehicle. Authorities resorted to tear gas and live firing to control the mob. Issues Whether Ladakh should be granted statehood and Sixth Schedule protections to address demands for autonomy, employment, and resource rights. The role of civil society leaders like Sonam Wangchuk in mobilizing protests versus allegations of incitement. Balancing regional aspirations with national security concerns in a strategically sensitive border territory. Current Status Four people were killed, and dozens (including civilians and police personnel) were injured. Authorities imposed curfews and tightened security in Leh and surrounding regions. On September 26, Wangchuk was arrested by Ladakh Police, accused of making provocative remarks that allegedly fueled the violence. The Union Government also cancelled the FCRA licence of Wangchuk’s NGO, SECMOL, blocking foreign funding. Wangchuk has rejected the allegations, calling his arrest a political move and warning that suppressing democratic voices may deepen unrest. Conclusion The unrest in Ladakh underscores unresolved questions about democratic representation, ecological sustainability, and development in the Union Territory. While the government frames the violence as law-and-order breakdown incited by Wangchuk, local voices see it as the culmination of broken promises and marginalization. The arrest has polarized opinion, raising concerns about the space for peaceful activism and the path ahead for Ladakh’s governance framework. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

Court’s Findings The Rajasthan High Court dismissed the petition, labeling it “absurd and frivolous.” The bench emphasized that law-making and governance are constitutional functions, and introducing legislation in Parliament, debating it, and implementing it after enactment cannot be equated with criminal acts. The Court further noted that allowing an FIR in such circumstances would amount to misuse of criminal law for political purposes. It clarified that disagreements with laws should be addressed through constitutional remedies—including protests, petitions, or legal challenges—not through criminal complaints against political leaders. Decision The plea was dismissed outright, with the bench criticizing the petitioner for attempting to use the judicial process for political ends. Legal Significance Separation of powers reinforced: Parliament enacts laws; executive implements them; criminal law does not extend to legislative or governance acts. Prevention of judicial misuse: Ensures that FIRs are not weaponized for political vendettas. Guidance for citizens: Challenges to laws must follow constitutional avenues rather than criminalizing governance decisions. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile.

Speaking at a legal conference, Yim noted that while India has made significant progress in arbitration reforms, much more is required to reach international standards. Request for a Coordinated Arbitration Approach Yim highlighted that arbitration in India has grown phenomenally but remains fragmented. He urged for a coordinated framework that combines legislative reform, institutional development, judicial uniformity, and international collaboration to elevate India’s arbitration ecosystem. Significance of Legal and Institutional Systems While acknowledging reforms in India’s arbitration law, Yim pointed out that leading arbitration hubs such as Singapore, London, and Paris succeeded not merely through legislation but also via strong institutional support. He stressed that India must strengthen its arbitral institutions, ensure efficiency in procedures, and maintain transparency to enhance credibility. Judicial and Governmental Role Yim underscored the importance of judicial predictability and limited government interference in arbitration matters. A pro-arbitration judicial environment coupled with government support in infrastructure and policy facilitation, he said, would inspire confidence among global businesses to choose India as a seat of arbitration. Arbitrator Training and Development A major area of focus, according to Yim, is capacity building. He recommended specialized training for arbitrators, lawyers, and professionals, along with international exposure through exchange programs and dedicated arbitration schools. This, he argued, would equip India’s large legal talent pool to handle complex cross-border disputes. Requirement for Investor Confidence Yim stressed that investor trust is inseparable from dispute resolution efficiency. Businesses will only turn to India if arbitration here is prompt, impartial, and enforceable. He highlighted that the enforceability of arbitral awards and procedural consistency are key to boosting investor confidence. Relational Global Lessons Drawing parallels with Singapore and Hong Kong, Yim noted that their rise as arbitration centres was the result of strategic, integrated efforts involving reforms, government support, institutional credibility, and international promotion. India, with its cost advantages and deep legal talent base, could replicate such a model. A Roadmap for the Future Concluding his remarks, Yim called for a common roadmap that involves lawmakers, judiciary, arbitral institutions, government agencies, and practitioners. Only through collective efforts, he stressed, can India transform itself into a major international arbitration hub. Conclusion Jimmy Yim’s observations underline both India’s progress and its untapped potential in arbitration. By combining reforms with institutional support, capacity building, and investor-oriented measures, India could position itself as a competitive global arbitration destination.
