Allahabad HC adjourns hearing in Bankey Bihari temple case till Aug 25
On the other hand, in a matter seeking ASI survey of the wazukhana (ablution pond) area except for the Shiva Linga inside the Gyanvapi mosque at Varanasi, the high court fixed September 23 for the next hearing. When matter was taken up before Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, it was informed by the state counsel that the validity of The Uttar Pradesh Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust Ordinance, 2025 has been challenged in the apex court and it is pending. Though the hearing in the Bankey Bihari Mandir matter was adjourned, Justice Agrawal asked Additional Advocate General of Uttar Pradesh Manish Goel that it would be proper to get the ordinance amended to the extent so far it relates to inclusion of bureaucrats in the proposed trust to control and supervise of the temple in Mathura. The court was of the view that through the ordinance, the government wants to put a control over the temple which cannot be permitted and it is in violation of Article 25 of the Constitution. On July 21, amicus curiae Sanjay Goswami raised a serious question as to the competence of the state for issuing the ordinance. According to him, 'The temple in question is a private temple and the religious practice is being carried out by the heirs of late Swami Hari Das Ji. By the issuance of the ordinance, the government is trying to take control over the temple through back doors.' He had also submitted, 'Section 5 of the Ordinance provides for appointment constitution and terms of the board and trustees. Section 5 (1)(ii) provides that there would be two kinds of trustees of the board, namely, nominated trustees and ex-officio trustees.' According to Goswami, the nominated trustees are the saints, seers, gurus, scholars, mathadhish and mahants etc. from the Vaishnav tradition as well as followers of Sanatan Dharm, but he has strong objections as to the seven ex-officio trustees — District Magistrate, Senior Superintendent of Police, Municipal Commissioner, Chief Executive Officer of the Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikash Parishad, an officer of Dharmarth Karya Vibhag, and CEO of Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust. He contended that there is no need of appointing ex-officio trustees by the state, as this would amount to a back-door entry by the state government in the private temple managed by the Goswamis. According to him, it is an encroachment on the rights of the Hindus by the state government entering through back doors and taking control over a private temple managed by followers and successors of Swami Hari Das Ji.

Protestors tear Dadar kabutarkhana plastic cover, feed pigeons despite HC order
STRAP: Hours later, the leaders backtracked and claimed the vandals were 'outsiders' Protestors tear Dadar kabutarkhana plastic cover, feed pigeons despite HC order MUMBAI: Despite the order by the chief minister and an upcoming Bombay high court hearing, a 1,000-strong mob of the Jain community descended on the Dadar Kabutarkhana on Wednesday morning. With women taking the lead, they began attacking the plastic covering thrown over the kabutarkhana with knives and blades even as the police tried in vain to stop them. Damage done, they proceeded to pour sacks of chana for the pigeons on the traffic island in direct contravention of the court order and BMC rules. Hours later, however, the Dadar Kabutarkhana Trust and the Jain community backtracked and claimed they were not responsible for the vandalism. 'On Tuesday night, we sent out messages to say the protest had been postponed, as our meeting with the CM was favourable,' said trustee Sandeep Doshi, displaying the alleged message. 'It was outsiders who came and caused the havoc. Then the crowd's anger took over, all to make us look bad politically.' Vijayraj Parmar, chairman of the Shantinathji Maharaj Jain Derasar Trust opposite Dadar Kabutarkhana, parroted this, saying the 'protestors' were not from Dadar. 'But they saw hundreds of pigeons dying after the feeding stopped, and wanted to stop it immediately,' he said. However, many shopkeepers in the area and BMC officials clearly stated the protestors were from the Jain community, having shown their allegiance to the cause of pigeon feeding, including holding a protest march last Sunday. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the protestors coming from 9.30 am, waiting at the Jain temple for a bit before getting riled up and moving in for the attack. By the time the police could control the crowd, the damage was already done. 'We were taken by surprise,' said an official from G North ward. 'Initially, we were informed that the protest had been called off. But the crowd turned up and tore off the plastic covering. As this is a sensitive issue, we will wait to hear the Bombay high court's order on Thursday.' Puran Doshi, a former corporator, also parroted the account that the protestors were not locals and went on to call the HC order 'misguided'. 'Pigeons are one among the many causes of pulmonary diseases, and yet the head of the pulmonary department at KEM hospital has only zeroed in on pigeons, and not many other things that are harmful,' he said. 'The Maharashtra government and BMC are acting in the interests of the towers around the kabutarkhana. I will demand an inquiry into this.' Sandeep Doshi also skirted around the established medical science fact that pigeons feathers and droppings are proven to cause health issues. 'Smoking and alcohol too are injurious to health, yet the government just prints warnings on them and allows their sale,' he said. 'Similarly, they should put warning boards at the kabutarkhana that people with respiratory issues should keep their distance.' Citizens of Mumbai were outraged at the show of force at the kabutarkhana in clear contravention of the law. 'They openly tore down the BMC's makeshift shed and fed pigeons—in full view of the media and police and in direct violation of Bombay high court orders. Where are the FIRs?' demanded Chetan Kamble, a Dadar resident and founder of NGO Chakachak Dadar who was present at the spot. 'When the law is defied so brazenly, and no action is taken, it sends a dangerous message: that some groups are above the law. The police were mute spectators throughout. Public health, court orders and civic governance cannot be sacrificed at the altar of appeasement.' The Andheri Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens Association (LOCA) termed the events of Wednesday 'hooliganism' and asked for the perpetrators to be booked for obstructing civil servants from performing their duty and damaging public property. Photos of the Jain temple with netted balconies irked those on social media, questioning why the temple was allowing pigeons to flourish but leaving them out of their premises. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday reacted to the attack only by saying that the government was trying to find a middle ground. 'We will place a few measures before the court so that this tradition will not be disrupted and at the same time there won't be any health issues,' Fadnavis told reporters in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. NCP (SP) legislator Rohit Pawar, who was at Dadar Kaburtarkhana and supported the aggressive protest of the Jain community, emphasised that alternatives needed to be found. 'The pigeons could die, as feeding was completely stopped suddenly,' he said. 'This injustice to birds has no place in the Jain and Hindu communities. 'The BMC should come out with a solution. Rohit astutely added that no one wanted to insult the court. 'They were all trying to save the lives of pigeons,' he said.

‘Denial discriminatory': HC directs CRPF to promote HIV/AIDS +ve woman staffer
Stating that the denial of promotion to an HIV/AIDS positive woman employee of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was 'discriminatory', the Gujarat High Court has directed the CRPF to promote the petitioner to the post of Inspector (Ministerial), while also declaring as 'ultra vires' the provisions of a 2008 Standing Order and the 2011 CRPF Assistant Commandant Recruitment Rules that were cited in denying promotion to the petitioner. A division bench of Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice DN Ray, in its August 5 order, noted that the denial or discontinuation or unfair treatment in relation to employment is 'clearly prohibited' under the HIV/AIDS (Prevention & Control) Act, 2017. While stating that the Act has been enacted to ensure equal opportunity of employment and with the need to protect and secure the human rights of persons who are HIV/AIDS positive, the court directed the CRPF to grant promotion to the petitioner with effect from the date her juniors were promoted. The court said, 'The petitioner shall be entitled to full benefits including continuity of service to the post of Inspector (Ministerial) from the date the juniors to the petitioners were/was promoted. The petitioner shall also be considered for promotion to the (subsequent) post of Assistant Commandant (Ministerial) by placing her in the gradation list along with her juniors and a special DPC (Department Promotional Committee) be conducted to consider the candidature of the petitioner to the said post…' Granting time of two months, the court said, 'Upon consideration, if the petitioner is found fit on all other aspects, she shall be given promotion to the post of Assistant Commandant (Ministerial) from the date the junior(s) to her have been promoted against the vacancies of the year 2024-25… (The respondent is) required to revise pay and re-fix the pay-scale of the petitioner from the date of her entitlement to promotion on the post of Inspector (Ministerial) and further on the post of Assistant Commandant (Ministerial) and shall pay the arrears including all consequential benefits to the said posts.' The bench considered the arguments put forth by the petitioner as well as the advocates representing the respondents and stated that the case 'presented a very sorry state of affairs at the ends of the respondent authorities including the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India in perpetuating discrimination by not bringing necessary amendments in the Standing Order No.04/2008 and the recruitment/appointment Rules, which prescribe blanket restriction for promotion or appointment to persons who are not kept in medical category Shape I, specifically HIV/AID +ve personnel.' The court order stated that the court has reached 'an irresistible conclusion' that the petitioner has been discriminated in denial of promotion to the post of Inspector (Ministerial) from the date of her entitlement on the premise that she was in Shape III category in the medical report dated April 16, 2015. The petitioner had contended that she was promoted to the post of Inspector (Ministerial) only on August 23, 2019, and therefore also denied the subsequent promotion to the post of Assistant Commandant (Ministerial). The court noted that 'no efforts seem to have been made' to bring the Standing Order and the Rules governing the services of CRPF personnel in line with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017 so as to remove 'discrimination' against the 'protected persons' within the meaning of the Act. Declaring the 2008 Standing Order as well as the Rule 5 of the Central Reserve Police Force, Assistant Commandant (Ministerial), Group 'A' Post, Recruitment Rules, 2011, as 'ultra vires', the court said that it was 'contrary to the National HIV Counseling and Testing Guidelines, 2024 as also discriminatory and arbitrary, being violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India.' The court order stated that the clauses are 'required to be suitably amended to remove any kind of discrimination, directly or indirectly, expressly or by effect which denies or withholds any benefit, opportunity or advantage from any person or category of persons being HIV/AIDS +ve person(s)… by bringing suitable amendments as early as possible. For the purpose of medical assessment of HIV/AIDS +ve person.' 'SHAPE-1' signifies that a combatised serving personnel is fully fit for all duties. The acronym SHAPE represents: S (Psychological), H (Hearing), A (Appendages), P (Physical Capacity), and E (Eyesight). A SHAPE-1 rating indicates that all these aspects are assessed as being in good condition. Functional capacity for duties in the CPF under each factor is graded in the scale from 1 to 5, indicating declining functional efficiency and increasing employability limitations.
