The Supreme Court today said that the CBI’s inquiry into alleged bribe-taking by judges is sufficient and there is no need for it to order a team to investigate the matter. Three judges today who heard the case said that the petition that sought a Special Investigation Team or SIT to study alleged judicial corruption made allegations against judges that were not based in fact. “The petition is derogatory, contemp-
tuous but we won’t initiate contempt,” the judges said. “By filing this petition, damage has been done and doubts have been raised unnecessarily on the integrity of this great institution.” The petition was filed by lawyer Kamini Jaiswal. Arguing on her behalf, Prashant Bhushan said that the CBI could not be counted on for a fair inquiry
because it is susceptible to pressure from the government and other authorities. Mr Bhushan drew strong reproach from the court yesterday for linking the Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra, to the CBI’s inquiry. The CBI has filed an FIR or case in which it says a former judge of the Orissa High Court was part of a plan to help a medical college cancel its blacklisting by the government.

Despite Swachh Bharat, per person disease burden due to unsafe water, sanitation 40 times higher in India Child and maternal malnutrition remain the single largest risk factor, responsible for 15 per cent of the total disease burden of India in 2016
Agency | New Delhi
Child and maternal malnutrition remain the single largest risk factor, responsible for 15 per cent of the total disease burden of India in 2016. Two years after Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched, the per person disease burden due to unsafe water and sanitation was 40 times higher in India than in China in 2016. The contribution of air pollution to disease burden remains high, with levels of exposure among the highest in the world, causing cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and lower respiratory infections. These are some of the findings
of the first ever comprehensive spread of diseases study and risk factors across every state of India from 1990 to 2016, utilizing all available data. The study on State-level disease burden was released by the Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday. A joint initiative between the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), and In-
stitute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, it is the first such state-level estimate and trends for each state in India. Summing up the findings, an article in The Lancet said: “Per capita disease burden measured as DALY (disability adjusted life year) rate has dropped by about a third in India over the past 26 years.

The NGT bench headed by Justice Swatanter Kumar also asked the Delhi government why it can’t run ladies-only buses to solve the transport problem during Odd-Even scheme. “Why don’t you take positive steps?

The NGT also asked the government to identify most polluted areas today and sprinkle water as it ordered taking off 10-year-old diesel vehicles off the road. While slamming the Delhi government for not putting in place emergency measures, the green tribunal said measures

In the video, which appeared to have been shot in a hotel on 16 May, 2017, a person with close resemblance to Patel was seen in a compromising position with an unidentified woman. Commenting on the sex clip purportedly showing him, the 24-year-old Patidar leader said
it was the beginning of dirty politics and the BJP would release many more such “morphed” videos to defame him ahead of polls. ”Just a few days back, I had told the media that such CDs will be circulated. This is just the beginning of dirty politics. I am sure that BJP people would circulate some more CDs because the man who did it recently joined the party in Delhi.

Gujarat polls: Rahul Gandhi is not the change voters are looking for
The decks cannot be loaded more heavily against the BJP in the Gujarat polls (December 9 to 14). Encumbered with 22 years of anti-incumbency, the party faces the muchhyped consolidation of the Patidar-OBC-Dalit voters. As if this was not enough, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi seems to be peaking at the right time and one can sense the change in mood on social media as the followers are catching up with trolls. A complex model of the GST followed demonetisation to the horror of the dominant trading community in the state. And the party is yet to churn out an acceptable face in place of Narendra Modi as the two chief ministers in three years failed to make any substantive impact on the masses. The Patidar movement under Hardik Patel literally shook the BJP to the core. This otherwise financially-sound community has stood behind the party like a rock for the past two decades. The taken-for-granted support base challenging the party on an issue which seemed non-existent till recently has caught its leaders unawares. Also this is going to be a straight contest, like a Gujarat version of the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar. Every other electoral player/ factor has joined forces with the Congress to bring down the BJP. It is the BJP versus the rest. So is this the end of the dream run for the BJP in Gujarat? The stakes are high. The BJP getting a drubbing in Modi’s home state will boost the Opposition and suddenly the BJP’s victory in the 2019 general elections, which for now seems to be a forgone conclusion, will be an uphill task. Then why is it that nearly all opinion polls are predicting a BJP victory? They say that they BJP will lose ground, the Congress will gain votes and seats, but nevertheless the BJP will win, thanks to Amit Shah’s unbeatable seat arithmetic to contradictions in the combined Opposition. But what they seem to be missing or unwilling to accept is that the voters yearning for change are not ready to accept Rahul Gandhi as that face of change. This fact is reflected in Patel’s dilemma. He is vocal about his loathing for the BJP — he even talks about decimating the party in Gujarat. But he keeps on postponing the date for joining hands with the Congress. This could be because he has correctly sensed the mood in the community.

India have been nothing less than outstanding in Tests in the last two years under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. They have won eight series on the trot making it to the number 1 in ICC rankings. And the 29-year-old skipper has revealed that he concentrates only on his preparations ahead of the game which has always helped him as well as his team to do better on the field. “As an individual, the only thing that’s in my hand is preparation and [having] a [positive] mindset. And I am fully
committed for that. In fact, I make sure that I am absolutely giving it my all to prepare and think in a certain way. After that, I just go out and enjoy myself.

On Children’s Day, a debate if death penalty can check child sex abuse
Agency | New Delhi
The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) was brought in as late as 2012. As the name suggests, the statute lays down laws exclusively for protection of children. It defines penetrative sexual assault and sexual assault against children, and also provides for definition and punishment for sexual harassment of children. As per the law, sexual assault of a child is punished with maximum of five years, penetrative sexual assault is punished with up to 10 years, and sexually harassing a child lands one behind bars for three years. Experts, however say that POSCO in its five
years of existence, has failed to act as a deterrent for crimes against children. Among several measures, lawyers, activists and the citizens have been demanding capital punishment for those convicted of sexually assaulting children. Advocating this strongly is Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal, who has been urging the government to introduce a timebound penalty for convicts of child sexual abuse. “A 11-month-old baby was recently operated after being raped. What is the magic stick to change the mindset of individuals who commit such crimes? It’s fear.

Criticising Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the “ad hoc” implementation of the Goods and Service Tax (GST), senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday said that Jaitley who has been elected to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat is a “burden” on the people of the state. “I want to tell you that I do not consider the finance minister a Gujarati,” said Sinha while interacting with media persons about demonetisation and GST on Tuesday. Sinha is currently on
a tour of Gujarat and is expected to speak at public forums in Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Vadodara. When pointed out that Jaitley has been elected to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, Sinha said, “He might have been elected from Gujarat, but he is a burden on you. If he had not been elected from here, then a Gujarati would have got a chance in the Rajya Sabha.” Jaitley has been elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2012 and is one of the 11 Rajya Sabha MPs representing Gujarat.

Paolo Cannavaro attacked the ‘mummies who control Italian football’ as the Sassuolo defender also hit out at foreign Serie A players after Italy sensationally failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Italy stuttered to a goalless draw against Sweden in Milan on Monday as the four-time world champions lost 1-0 on aggregate in a
fiercely contested play-off tie. It ended Italy’s run of 14 consecutive World Cup appearances, dating back to 1958, and increased pressure on embattled head coach Gian Piero Ventura – who strongly hinted at resigning post-match at San Siro. Cannavaro – the brother of World Cup-winning defender Fabio – took aim at the Italian Football
Federation (FIGC) and the foreigners playing in the country’s top flight via social media. “Guys, we didn’t lose the World Cup today [Monday]. We lost it 15 years ago when thanks to incredible cashing in by those in the football world, Italy brought in flops from every area of the world to unfairly steal places from our lads…,” Cannavaro wrote on Instagram.

It is amply clear that the physical and mental exhaustion of having played three tournaments in as many weeks—the Denmark Open Superseries Premier, the French Open Superseries in Europe, and the 82nd Senior Indian Nationals in Nagpur—has taken its toll on India’s top badminton stars, for it is a severely truncated squad that will present the
country’s challenge at the China Open Superseries Premier, that begins from 14 November at Fuzhou. A ten-member side, comprising just two singles exponents each among the men and women, two pairs in the men’s doubles, and a solitary pair each in the women’s and mixed doubles, will be seen at the tournament, in which Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal created history in 2014
by being the first set of Indians to win the two stellar singles events in the world’s most populous nation. While Srikanth had announced on Friday last week that he was taking the China Open week off as a precautionary measure to rest his injured right knee, Parupalli Kashyap, who had sent in his entry for a spot in the qualifying rounds, also pulled out before the onset of the championships.
Saina Nehwal and HS Prannoy will look to enhance their chances of qualifying for the Dubai Super Series Finals with a good performance at the USD 700,000 China Open Superseries Premier. Former World No.1 Saina upstaged Olympic silver-medallist P V Sindhu in the national finals last week to claim her third championship crown, while Prannoy stunned Kidambi Srikanth to clinch his maiden title at the 82nd edition of the event at Nagpur. Interestingly, both Saina and Prannoy are ranked 11th in the Destination Dubai
Ranking and are racing against time to book a berth at next month’s Super Series Final with just two Super Series events -- China Open and Hong Kong Open -left in the calender. The 27-year-old Indian, who clinched a bronze medal at the Glasgow World Championship, will open her campaign against USA’s Beiwen Zhang, while Prannoy will face a
qualifier in the opening round. However, Srikanth, who clinched four titles and reached five finals in this season, will be taking a break this week to nurse a muscle strain. Sindhu has also been in impressive form this season as she clinched two super series titles -- India Open and Korea Open -- besides winning a silver at the World Championship.

Late last week, he met workers from Vadodara and Chota Udaipur of central Gujarat.
Panic gripped Muslim families in some pockets of a Hindu-dominated area here after they found red “cross marks” on the main gates of their societies on Sunday morning. An investigation, however, revealed that the marks were painted by the civic body’s sanitation staff. The city police swung into action after residents of one such society in Paldi area here wrote a letter on Monday to the Election Commission and the city’s police commissioner, urging them to inquire the matter. The residents wrote in the letter that
they feared it (putting the marks) was done with a “clear purpose to identify Muslims living in that area” ahead of the assembly polls in Gujarat next month. However, the police said the marks were put up to identify the societies which would be covered under the civic body’s Global Positioning System-based waste collection system. “The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation staff visited the area with us yesterday and informed the residents that it is part of their garbage collection project,” Paldi’s police inspector B S Rabari said.
