HC stays govt mandate for quota in minority institutions for Class 11 admissions
Mumbai, The Bombay High Court on Thursday granted an interim stay on the Maharashtra government's mandate to minority educational institutes to reserve seats for Schedule Castes/Schedule Tribes and Other Backward Classes for first-year junior college admissions. A bench of Justices M S Karnik and N R Borkar passed the order on a bunch of petitions filed by some minority institutions, challenging the May 6 resolution issued by the government's school education and sports department applying the constitutional/social reservations in minority education institutes. The high court said it found substance in the petitioners' arguments and hence the mandate of social reservation will not be applicable for Class 11 admissions in minority educational institutions. The HC bench said it was granting a stay on the clause of the resolution that included minority educational institutes for the reservation. It directed the government to file its affidavit in reply to the petitions and posted the matter for further hearing on August 6. The high court on Wednesday questioned the government's rationale behind the resolution and asked if it was willing to withdraw the same or issue a corrigendum clarifying that minority institutes would not be included in the reservation. On Thursday, government pleader Neha Bhide told the court that she has no instructions from the government to withdraw the resolution or issue a corrigendum. As per the pleas, Article 15 of the Constitution excludes minority educational institutes, aided or unaided, from applicability of reservations for socially and educationally backward classes. The petitions claimed that under Article 30 , the right of admission is exclusively with the management of the institution. A similar GR was issued in 2019 but it was withdrawn after petitions were filed then, they said.

"Entire country is witnessing a kind of tension and polarisation": Congress leader Ashok Gehlot
Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 12 (ANI): Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Thursday said the country is facing growing tension and polarisation, which he called 'dangerous for democracy'. Gehlot added that democracy becomes strong only when all religions and castes move together. He said saving the Constitution is more important than just winning elections and added that the opposition plays a key role in protecting people's rights. Speaking to the mediapersons, Ashok Gehlot said, 'The entire country is witnessing a kind of tension and polarisation which is there for the first time in post-independent India. It's not in anyone's interest. Democracy becomes strong only when all religions and castes move together. Winning elections is one thing, but saving democracy is another thing. Slowly, democracy is being murdered, and the Constitution is in danger. Rahul Gandhi is repeatedly saying to save the Constitution. Opposition is important in democracy, and what is a government in a democracy without opposition?... Opposition raises voice for the people...' Earlier in the day, Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged that the BJP-led NDA government has restricted public access to election documents, just 11 days after a Punjab and Haryana High Court order demanding transparency. Khera, who is the Chairman of the the party's Media and Publicity Department, claimed that on December 9 last year, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Election Commission to share CCTV footage and Form 17C records from the Haryana elections, leading to the Election Commission of India (ECI) writing to the Law Ministry proposing changes to Rule 93 of the Conduct of Election Rules, arguing that allowing inspection of 'all other papers' created an 'administrative burden'. In a post on X, he further claimed that by December 20 last year, the rule was amended and notified. He said that the phrase 'all other papers relating to the election shall be open to public inspection' was replaced with 'all other papers as specified in these rules', quietly narrowing public access. 'The government has quietly restricted public access to election documents, just 11 days after a High Court order demanding transparency. On Dec 9, 2024, the Punjab & Haryana High Court directed the Election Commission to share CCTV footage and Form 17C records from the Haryana elections, he said on social media platform X, based on an article.' 'On Dec 17, the EC wrote to the Law Ministry proposing changes to Rule 93 of the Conduct of Election Rules, arguing that allowing inspection of 'all other papers' created an 'administrative burden'. By 10:23 PM on Dec 20, the rule was amended and notified. The phrase 'all other papers relating to the election shall be open to public inspection' was replaced with 'all other papers as specified in these rules', quietly narrowing public access,' Khera said. The Congress leader claimed that the amendment created a legal 'ambiguity' and contradicted the original intent of the rule in place since 1961. The amendment effectively blocks access to CCTV footage, video recordings, and other electronic records, none of which are 'specified' in the old rulebook. He said the amendment was done after the High Court ordered the release of those materials. 'The timing and speed, just 11 days from court order to notification, are notable,' Khera added.(ANI)

Impeachment Calls Amid Immigration Protests: Can Trump Be Removed As President?
Last Updated: Calls to remove President Trump are growing, but with complex procedures and political roadblocks in place, can these efforts really succeed? Close to 400 individuals have been apprehended amid immigration raid protests in Los Angeles over the past week, particularly following President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines throughout the city. Trump has mobilised over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to suppress the protests concerning immigration enforcement. Amid the unrest, a growing chorus—from Democratic lawmakers, activists, and community groups—is calling for President Trump's removal from office. But while removal is legally possible, it faces formidable hurdles. Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green has called for Trump's impeachment, stating that Trump is 'unfit" to hold office given his 34 felony convictions and history of being impeached twice before. Green told reporters that he is in the process of drafting articles of impeachment. Several other Democratic lawmakers, especially from strongly anti-Trump constituencies, have also voiced sharp criticism of Trump's policies and leadership. However, the likelihood of impeachment remains low due to the Republican majority in both the House and the Senate. Several posts on X claim that large-scale protests are erupting in Democrat-led states like New York and California over President Trump's policies on immigration, tariffs and restrictions on foreign students. Some users have even described the situation as 'civil war-like." In California, Trump's immigration measures have sparked widespread anger among immigrant communities and academic institutions, triggering legal action. So far, more than 100 lawsuits and around 50 temporary restraining orders have reportedly been filed challenging various policies introduced by the Trump administration. Although these legal challenges have slowed the implementation of Trump's policies, they are not directly connected to efforts to remove him from office. Impeachment would require significant support in Congress, which is currently lacking. The demand to remove Trump is mostly confined to Democratic strongholds and activist circles. Efforts by lawmakers like Al Green are largely symbolic, with little chance of success given the Republican majority in Congress. While there is significant anger among immigrants, students, and liberal groups, the unrest is not yet widespread enough to pose an immediate threat to Trump's presidency. Can Trump Be Removed From The Post Of President? Yes, Donald Trump can be removed from the post of US President, but this is a complex and extraordinary process that can only happen through the provisions laid down in the US Constitution. This includes impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or pressure from a massive civil movement. In the US, impeachment can be brought against the President through a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives, but this seems unlikely due to the Republican majority. When And How Can The US President Be Removed And Can It Apply To Trump? Under Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, the President can be removed by impeachment for 'treason, bribery, or other serious crimes and misdemeanours." In the first phase, the impeachment motion must pass by a simple majority in the House of Representatives. In the second phase, a trial is held in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority (67 senators) is required for conviction. The Chief Justice presides over the trial. Trump was impeached twice (in 2019 and 2021), but the Senate did not convict him. At present, impeachment seems unlikely due to the Republican majority in the House, making it difficult to get the two-thirds support required. However, public pressure or new evidence could change the situation. What Is The 25th Amendment By Which The President Can Be Removed? The 25th Amendment of the Constitution allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare that the President is unable to perform his duties. After this, the Vice President becomes the acting President. This is unlikely because Vice President JD Vance and most of the Cabinet members are loyal to Trump. A serious reason, such as mental or physical incapacity, is required for this, and there are no clear signs. The 25th Amendment has been used twice in America, but only to temporarily replace the President under Section 3. In 1985, when President Reagan was ill, and later in 2002 and 2007, when President George W. Bush briefly transferred power to the Vice President during medical treatment. In each case, the President resumed his duties afterward. Can The American President Resign Due To Civil Movement Or Pressure? Massive public outrage or political pressure could force Trump to resign, as Richard Nixon did in 1974. top videos View all However, Trump's history shows that he does not easily bow to pressure. His recent controversial decisions, such as the travel ban and the ban on foreign students, have triggered anger among the public and the opposition, but resignation remains unlikely due to his strong support base, especially among Republicans. Cases are ongoing against Trump's decisions. If a major legal violation is proven, impeachment or other actions may begin. Massive protests or electoral pressure (2026 midterm elections) could weaken Trump's position, but they would not directly lead to removal. First Published:
