Delhi HC directs schools to disclose pay commission compliance
In response, the schools submitted that they were not permitted by regulatory authorities to raise tuition fees, which had hindered full implementation of CPC scales. Some schools claimed partial implementation from varying dates and partial payment of arrears.
To address the divergent claims, the Court has directed each school to file a consolidated affidavit within four weeks. The affidavit must specify whether the Seventh CPC has been implemented, the date of its implementation (if applicable), the extent of arrears paid under both CPCs, and any pending dues.
The affidavits are to be shared with the teachers' counsel, who may file replies within two weeks thereafter. The Court emphasised that a factual determination was essential before issuing further legal rulings in the salary dispute. The matter will be heard next on September 17, 2025.

India can construct on tributaries of Indus, Jhelum, Chenab under IWT : Court of Arbitration
New Delhi, Aug 13 (UNI) The Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague has, in an Award on Issues of General Interpretation of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), said India is permitted by the Treaty to construct on the tributaries of the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab ('Western Rivers') even though the general rule is that India shall ''let flow'' the waters of the Western Rivers for Pakistan's use. The Court in an Award on August 8, said that even though the ''general rule'' is that India shall 'let flow' the waters of the Western Rivers for Pakistan's use, there are certain specified exceptions to this rule, including in relation to the generation of hydroelectric power. In the Award the Court did not address the application of its findings to the specific circumstances of the Kishenganga Hydro-Electric Plant ('KHEP') or Ratle Hydro-Electric Plant ('RHEP'), two Indian projects presented in Pakistan's Request for Arbitration. ''This arbitration concerns the interpretation and application of the Indus Waters Treaty to certain design elements of the run-of-river hydro-electric plants that India is permitted by the Treaty to construct on the tributaries of the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab Rivers (the 'Western Rivers'). About the overall Approach to the Interpretation of Article III and Part 3 of Annexure D the general rule is that India shall 'let flow' the waters of the Western Rivers. However, there are certain specified exceptions to this rule, including in relation to the generation of hydroelectric power, the Court said. India's primary objection to the IWT arises out of from concerns about Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism and its implications for India's national security and water resource management. India has linked the issue of water sharing with the broader context of bilateral relations, asserting that "blood and water cannot flow together". India stresses the need to re-negotiate the treaty because of climate change and its impact on water availability. The Treaty, signed in 1960, does not adequately address the challenges posed by climate change, necessitating a renegotiation of its provisions. India argues that the Treaty's restrictions on hydropower projects, particularly on the Western Rivers (Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus), need to be revisited in light of modern dam engineering and the need for increased water storage and management. India has formally notified Pakistan to seek modifications to the IWT, citing the need to address the issues of climate change, security concerns, and disputes over hydropower projects. India's request for modifications in and renegotiation of the Treaty based on Article XII (3) of the IWT, is being resisted by Pakistan, fearing reduction in its water share. India does not accept the court's jurisdiction and insists on using a neutral expert has welcomed the Court's Award and threatened India with serious consequences if the IWT was ''touched''.

Slamming 50% Trump tariffs, farmer leader Chaduni urges ban on US firms in India
Haryana farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni has called for a complete ban on American companies operating in India after US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs on Indian week, Trump signed an Executive Order imposing an additional 25% duty on Indian imports — on top of an earlier 25% hike — citing India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The combined 50% tariff will take effect from August to the move, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni said India must "hit back in a similar manner" by targeting US companies. "The US has imposed heavy tariffs on India and India must hit back in a similar way and ban American companies operating on Indian soil," Chaduni told India Today farmer leader argued that many American businesses in India, especially large fast-food and retail chains, earn substantial profits and repatriate them to the US."Why are we allowing this when the US is imposing tariffs on us? We must give a similar reply and ban all these companies," he said. "You travel on highways and one can spot the big food giants of the US spreading their business all over. This must stop," Chaduni farmer leader, who played a prominent role in the 2022 anti-farm laws protests, said the government must take a firm stand to deter future trade pressure from Washington."We cannot allow anyone to dictate things to us like this. If we don't take a stand now, America will continue to do this in the future too and threaten us regularly. The US-based companies should immediately be banned and not allowed to mint money," he demand also comes against the backdrop of a long-standing flashpoint in India–US trade of the contentious issues has been the proposed entry of US companies into India's dairy and agriculture sectors — a move New Delhi has consistently resisted, citing potential threats to farmers' livelihoods and to the country's self-reliance in these key Washington escalating trade tensions through higher tariffs, Chaduni's call to ban US businesses signals growing pressure on the Indian government to respond with stronger retaliatory measures.- EndsMust Watch

Does Pakistan know why India rejects Indus Water Treaty dispute resolution mechanism?
India has rejected the Permanent Court of Arbitration's role in the Indus Waters Treaty dispute, citing procedural flaws in the World Bank's 2022 decision, as Pakistan escalates rhetoric over water rights. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that the 'enemy can't snatch even a single drop of water' as he joined the country's military leadership in ramping up rhetoric over the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). His statement came after India reiterated its decision to hold the treaty's dispute resolution process in abeyance, citing procedural objections that Islamabad has long ignored. At the heart of the disagreement lies India's refusal to recognise the jurisdiction of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in the ongoing dispute. The Hague-based tribunal has reportedly ruled that India must 'let flow' the waters of the Western Rivers the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab for Pakistan's unrestricted use under the treaty. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD New Delhi has consistently maintained that it never accepted the World Bank's 2022 decision to simultaneously activate two parallel processes, a neutral expert mechanism and at Pakistan's insistence, the Court of Arbitration to adjudicate the same set of technical objections. India argued that such concurrent proceedings pose both practical and legal challenges and formally sought a reconsideration of the treaty's dispute settlement provisions. Despite acknowledging India's concerns, the World Bank in October 2022 appointed both a neutral expert and a Court of Arbitration. This, officials in New Delhi say, undermines the procedural safeguards intended by the 1960 treaty and sets a precedent that could weaken the framework for resolving future differences. With Pakistan signalling it will press ahead with its case at the PCA and India refusing to participate in its proceedings, the stalemate over the IWT's dispute resolution mechanism appears far from over and now, political posturing on both sides threatens to overshadow the complex legal issues at its core.
