SC refuses to stay ongoing teachers recruitment exam in Andhra Pradesh
The
Supreme Court
on Thursday refused to hear a plea for halting the ongoing teacher recruitment examinations in
Andhra Pradesh
and said it couldn't be stopped "midway".
"We don't devise a mechanism for holding examinations. It is not our expertise," a bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan told the petitioner's counsel.
The bench questioned the petitioner's counsel for not moving the Andhra Pradesh High Court first.

After the counsel said the high court was on summer break, the bench said, "The High Court of Andhra Pradesh is reopening after summer vacation on June 16. In view of the above, we are not inclined to entertain this petition under
Article 32 of the Constitution
of India. The petitioner would be at liberty to approach the high court."
The petitioner's counsel referred to the government notification and said even for a district-level recruitment,
multi-shift examinations
were to be conducted.

"They are going for a
computer-based testing
and then they go for normalisation," the counsel said.
The bench, however, said, "The exams have commenced. We can't stop them midway."
Additional Solicitor General S V Raju informed the bench that over a lakh aspirants had already appeared in the examinations.
The plea said the state government initiated the process for teachers' recruitment for filling over 16,000 posts and examinations would be conducted from June 6 to July 6.

'Those who spoke bravely are all dead': Donald Trump says he gave Iran 60-day ultimatum; warns 'it will only get worse' as Israel holds lethal US weapons
A major flashpoint in the Middle East erupted into open military confrontation overnight, with Israel launching its most expansive airstrikes on Iran in decades, targeting the country's military command and nuclear infrastructure. In a dramatic twist, US President Donald Trump claimed credit for setting the stage, citing a 60-day ultimatum he says he gave Iran, even as his own officials denied direct American involvement in the operation. 'Today is Day 61': Trump ties himself to Israeli strikes Despite earlier statements by senior Trump administration figures, including secretary of state Marco Rubio , distancing the US from the Israeli attack, Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to suggest the strikes followed a countdown he had initiated. "Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal,'" Trump wrote. "Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" In another lengthy post, Trump described warning Iran in "the strongest of words" and claimed Iranian commanders "didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!" He added, "There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left." Israel's Operation Rising Lion Early Friday, Israeli fighter jets and drones struck key Iranian military and nuclear facilities in what Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed "Operation Rising Lion." The strikes killed six top nuclear scientists and several senior military commanders. Israeli officials declared the operation a necessary pre-emptive strike to dismantle Iran's weapons capabilities. "This operation will continue for as many days as it takes," Netanyahu said in a video message, warning of further action against the Iranian regime. Iran retaliates Within hours, Iran responded with a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Explosions echoed across central Israel into early Saturday as missile defense systems were activated and civilians were urged to take shelter. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted military airbases and weapons production centers that were 'sources of the criminal aggression.' A senior Iranian official told CNN, 'Everyone will feel it,' referencing further possible retaliation and threats to strike regional bases of any nation that aids Israel. Trump walks a fine line While Trump openly praised the Israeli operation—calling it "excellent" in remarks to ABC News—he continued to insist the US played no active military role. "We gave them a chance, and they didn't take it. They got hit—very hard. And there's more to come. A lot more," he told to ABC News. Still, the mixed signals out of Washington have raised eyebrows. Just a day earlier, Trump had called for peaceful diplomatic resolution with Iran.

'I told them': Donald Trump claims push for action against Iran; also says US didn't take part
US President Donald Trump is navigating a delicate balancing act as he claims foreknowledge of Israel's massive airstrikes on Iran while distancing the US from direct involvement. Though initial statements from American officials described the Israeli operation as unilateral, Trump later said it came after a 60-day ultimatum he gave Iran to strike a nuclear deal. 'Today is day 61,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'I told [Iran] what to do, but they just couldn't get there.' His shifting stance comes despite tensions with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump is now presenting the strikes as part of a pressure campaign to bring Iran back to the negotiating table. 'They should now come to the table before it's too late,' he said. 'I think it's been excellent,' Trump told ABC News about the Israeli strikes. 'We gave Iran a chance, and they didn't take it. They got hit—hard. As hard as you can get hit. And there's more coming. A lot more.' But the US response has been inconsistent. US secretary of state Marco Rubio distanced Washington from the strikes, the White House ordered a partial evacuation of personnel, and officials have been vague about America's military involvement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region," Rubio said. He added, "Let me be clear: Iran should not target US interests or personnel." This has raised questions over whether Israel moved ahead of Washington to force its hand. According to the Guardian, some Israeli sources claimed Trump had given a "green light," but analysts warn Israel may be trying to draw the US into a wider conflict. Intelligence agencies likely had advance warning, given the scale of the attack: over 200 Israeli jets striking more than 100 targets. Meanwhile, the US recently resupplied Israel's Iron Dome system and deployed B-52 and B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia. The Fordow enrichment site in Iran remains intact—raising speculation that Washington may yet play a direct role if the conflict deepens. Trump's response mirrors previous efforts to portray himself as a peacemaker—such as his claim that he prevented nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan recently.

Trump's earnings: $57 million in crypto, $217 million from Florida golf clubs
U.S. President Donald Trump filed his first public financial disclosure report of the term on Friday, revealing new details about his assets—including earnings from his family's involvement in cryptocurrencies, reported Reuters. According to the filing, Trump reported $57.35 million in income from token sales at World Liberty Financial , a crypto firm. He also disclosed ownership of 15.75 billion governance tokens linked to the venture. The disclosure, signed on June 13, did not specify the time period it covered. However, based on the cryptocurrency details and other information in the report, it appears to cover activity through the end of December 2024—excluding much of the revenue generated later by the family's crypto ventures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Farmer Finds Diamond Ring.
