We will approach Supreme Court if no action is taken on petition to disqualify Neelam Gorhe, two MLCs: Anil Parab

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab has said his party will approach the Supreme Court if no action is taken on their disqualification plea against three MLCs who switched over to the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab has said his party will approach the Supreme Court if no action is taken on their disqualification plea against three MLCs who switched over to the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Mr. Parab said the party on July 21 moved a petition to disqualify members of legislative council (MLCs) Neelam Gorhe, the deputy chairperson of the Upper House, and Manisha Kayande and Biplav Bajoria.
“There is no action on the petition. We have given reminders for the same,” he said on September 22. The petition was submitted to the office of the Legislative Council, which doesn’t have a chairman as of now.
“If there is no action, then we will approach the Supreme Court the way we did in the case of the Lower House (Assembly),” he said, referring to the party approaching the apex court to disqualify 16 MLAs from the Shinde-led Sena.
He said the three MLCs would be disqualified in a manner similar to the “fate of the 39 MLAs (from the Shinde Sena)”. “We have made all preparations to approach the Supreme Court,” Mr. Parab said.
At present there is no chairman in the council. While Ms. Gorhe can hear the petitions of Mr. Kayande and Mr. Bajoria, the contention of the Sena (UBT) is that she cannot hear a petition against herself in the absence of a chairman. In July, Mr. Parab and other Sena MLCs had demanded Ms. Gorhe’s disqualification.
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had then defended Ms. Gorhe, saying she had not changed any party as she was elected as the member of the house on a Shiv Sena ticket and the bow-and-arrow symbol and both were with the Shinde-led Sena.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
