The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
Things will worsen for the global economy when others respond. China has imposed 34% tariffs on all US goods.
Hope Mr. Shekhar Gupta grows a spine and does a CTC on the WB SSC teachers appointment scam. It would do justice to his repeated claims of “un-hyphenated journalism”.
The biggest news story of the day is the Supreme Court verdict on the teacher’s recruitment scam in West Bengal. Yet The Print has not published a single article on this. Not one single article on an issue of such importance. 26000 teachers have lost their jobs due to this verdict – not all of them were involved in the corruption and bribery.
The Print’s editorial board did not find this news worthy enough for an editorial.
Seems like there are quite a few journalists at The Print who hope to emulate Ms. Sagarika Ghose some day and end up in the Rajya Sabha on a TMC ticket. Why poke and needle Mamata Banerjee needlessly, isn’t it?
For India and its increasingly protectionist economy, the constructive takeaway is – Khudi ko kar buland itna …
The Print’s editorial board is obsessed with Indian Muslims and their myriad issues – Waqf being one of them.
It’s surprising that the editorial board has nothing to say about the Mamata Banerjee government’s loss of face at the Supreme Court. The SC has upheld the Calcutta High Court decision and cancelled the appointment of the whole batch of teachers. 26,000 people have lost their jobs. Moreover, they have been asked to pay back their salaries drawn over the last few years.
One would expect The Print to stick to their much touted “un-hyphenated journalism”.
