Supreme Court website must have a link providing list of reserved judgements clearly mentioning last date of proceedings in the case. Since supreme Court has several long vac...

Abolish legal-size paper: Supreme Court should take initiative

TOP STORIES, समाचार
Presently A-4 size paper (29.5 cms x 21 cms) is most commonly used size of paper-sheets. All photocopiers used in homes and offices are mostly equipped to handle this size of paper-sheets only. But there is a distinct size of legal paper-sheets for filing and use in courts which is 5 cms longer at 34.5 cms x 21 cms. Courts should do away with British-era practice, and allow only A-4 size paper-sheets till Union government works out for a new standardised paper-size based on metric-units. Rather concept of legal-size paper should be altogether abolished. System will be user-friendly and people will not have to rush outside for photo-copying bigger sized legal-papers presently used and allowed in courts. However colour-code of paper to be used in courts can be different like green is used in...
Keep Crowd Under Control at Kumbh

Keep Crowd Under Control at Kumbh

addtop, Today News, विश्लेषण
The Kumbh festival begins on Sankranti day. Come January 15, the sound of conch and slokas would reverberate on the banks of ‘Sangam’, the confluence of Ganga, Jamuna and Sarswati at Prayagraj. Hundreds of thousands of devotees and pilgrims would take the Holy dip that day to herald the Kumbh this year. Pilgrims would converge at the Kumbh from all over the country and from abroad. Many will come as ‘tourists’ to watch the humongous assembly of people at one place. The legend has it that anyone who with pious thought takes  three dips in Sangam attains the ‘Moksha’ , freeing onesdelf from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Organising a religious congregation of this scale where millions of people gather is big challenge for any government and administration.  Preparations for Kumbh begins y...

आगामी लोकसभा चुनाव के परिप्रेक्ष्य में गठबंधनों की राजनीति के नित-नये रंग उभर रहे हैं। सभी राजनीतिक दल चुनाव परिणामों की संभावनाओं की समीक्षा के पश्चात गलतियों को सुधारते हुए जीत को तलाशने में जुट गये हैं। अनेक विरोधाभासों एवं विसंगतियों के बीच राजनीतिक उजालों को तलाशा जा रहा है। सभी दलों के बीच राजनीति नहीं, स्वार्थ नीति देखने को मिल रही है। साझा सरकार के सभी दलों की सोच है कि सरकार में भी रहें और आगामी चुनाव में भी हमारा स्वतंत्र अस्तित्व बना रहे, ठीक इसी तरह विपक्षी महागठबंधनों में भी ऐसी ही मानसिकता देखने को मिल रही है, इसलिये वे गठबंधन से अलग रहकर या छोटे गठबंधन बनाकर चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी कर रह हैं। लखनऊ में समाजवादी पार्टी और बहुजन समाज पार्टी के बीच ऐसे ही गठबंधन के ऐलान ने आगामी लोकसभा चुनावों की लड़ाई का अनौपचारिक आरंभ कर दिया है। ढाई दशक के शत्रुता एवं कड़वाहट...

सफल जिंदगी के लिये चुनौतियां होना जरूरी है। कुछ चुनौतियों से आप आसानी से पार पा लेते हैं, पर कुछ आपसे खुद को बदलने की मांग करती हैं। कामयाबी इस पर निर्भर करती है कि आप कितने बेहतर ढंग से खुद को बदल पाते हैं? चुनौतियों से पार पाने के लिये जीवन में सहने का अभ्यास जरूरी है। इसके बिना किसी का भविष्य उज्ज्वल नहीं हो सकता। जेन मास्टर मैरी जैक्श कहती हैं, ‘अपनी उलझनों का सामना करते हुए अनजान चीजों को गले लगाना हमें विकास की ओर ले जाता है। हमें आगे बढ़ाता है।’ जीव-विज्ञान बायोलोजी के अनुसार जीव-जंतुओं की वे ही प्रजातियाँ अपना अस्तित्व सुरक्षित रख सकती हैं जिनमें हर परिस्थिति और चुनौती को झेलने की क्षमता होती है। ‘सरलाईवल आॅफ दि फिटेस्ट’ डार्विन के इस सिद्धांत का भी यही तात्पर्य है। हर व्यक्ति को अपने जीवन में कठिनाइयों और समस्याओं का सामना करना होता है। यह एक सार्वभौम सत्य है। कोई घटना हो, व्यक्ति...

सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने सीबीआई के निदेशक आलोक वर्मा को बड़ी राहत देते हुए 77 दिन बाद पुनः अपने पद पर बिठा दिया। यह भी स्पष्ट कर दिया कि ‘विनीत नारायण फैसले’ के तहत सीबीआई निदेशक का 2 वर्ष का निधार्रित कार्यकाल ‘हाई पावर्ड कमेटी’ जिसमें प्रधानमंत्री, विपक्ष के नेता और भारत के मुख्य न्यायाधीश होते हैं, की अनुमति के बिना न तो कम किया जा सकता है, न उसके अधिकार छीने जा सकते हैं और न ही उसका तबादला किया जा सकता है। इस तरह मोदी सरकार के विरूद्ध आलोक वर्मा की यह नैतिक विजय थी। पर अपनी आदत से मजबूर आलोक वर्मा ने इस विजय को अपने ही संदेहास्पद आचरण से पराजय में बदल दिया। सीबीआई मुख्यालय में पदभार ग्रहण करते ही उन्हें अपने अधिकारियों से मिलना-जुलना, चल रही जांचों की प्रगति पूछना और नववर्ष की शुभकामनाऐं देने जैसा काम करना चाहिए। पर उन्होंने किया क्या? सबसे विवादास्पद व्यक्ति डा. सुब्रमनियन स्वामी से अ...
