Judges are not monks and work pressure sometimes gets to them as well, Justice L. Nageswara Rao, the fifth senior-most judge of the Supreme Court,  said on Friday while sharing the ceremonial bench with the CJI on his effectively last working day in the office. Justice Rao, the seventh in the history of the apex court who was elevated directly from the Bar, termed a “good sojourn” his tenure of over six years as the judge of the top court and fondly recalled his advocacy days as well. “I have been a member of this Bar for 22 years and it is all your love and affection that have made my job very easy. I had a very smooth ride. Thank you very much.” “Even today I feel that that side (advocates) is much better than this side and given a chance I would be there for my lifetime. Thank you very much. It has been a good sojourn for me. I have learnt from brother and sister judges and I hope that I live up to your expectations because I am from this Bar,” he said. Moved by the well … [Read more...] about Judges are not monks, work pressure gets to them also: SC judge L.N. Rao

Wary of embarrassment he might face if stopped at the airport by the immigration, a politician from Jammu and Kashmir has written to the authorities seeking to know if his name is there in the ‘no-fly’ list that bars him from travelling abroad. Pining over his ailing sister in the United Kingdom, the politician, who does not want to be identified, wanted to check all safety boxes before he takes the journey to Delhi to board an international flight. “I do not want to be made into a spectacle at the Delhi airport, where the immigration authorities stop me and take me aside for questioning. It will be an embarrassment for the family,” he stated. In April, Aakar Patel, chair of human rights organisation Amnesty International India, was stopped at the Bengaluru airport on the basis of an Look Out Circular (LOC) generated by the CBI. He said, “You don’t realise there is an LOC against you until forced away from the airport.” The opaque system under which LOCs are issued is such that … [Read more...] about Faced with judicial orders against opaque Look Out Circulars, govt moves SC to preserve its secrecy

State regulators have confirmed a methane gas leak at a pair of idle oil wells near a residential neighborhood in Bakersfield, and local environmental groups are demanding immediate action to fix the problem and hold the operator responsible. Earlier this month, researcher Clark Williams-Derry from Washington state walked onto the Kern Bluff oil field in northeast Bakersfield and discovered an audible hiss coming from two oil wells. The wells sit approximately 400 feet from a home in a suburban housing development and were previously managed by Sunray Petroleum Inc. Williams-Derry said the oil wells look like spouts jutting from the ground and are covered by blue barrels, but are exposed to the open air. He said there are many more blue barrels in the oil field like the one he found. “I was not out looking for things that were leaking when I walked into the oil field,” said Williams-Derry, who works with the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis and was visiting … [Read more...] about California oil regulator confirms methane leak at idle oil wells in Bakersfield

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — By the time Dr. Hector Gonzalez arrived in Laredo, Texas, in 2001, the last abortion clinic had already closed. He spent the next 20 years experiencing firsthand where the largely Hispanic and heavily Catholic community along the border with Mexico usually sided. “Definitely it was, ‘No abortion,'" said Gonzalez, the city's former public health director. That culture has helped protect the region's nine-term congressman, Henry Cuellar, who is one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress. But he's facing the stiffest challenge of his career on Tuesday in a runoff election against progressive rival Jessica Cisneros, a 28-year-old immigration attorney who supports abortion access. With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to potentially overturn abortion rights in a ruling this summer, the runoff is being closely watched for clues about whether the … [Read more...] about Texas race tests abortion’s resonance with Democratic voters
