Ministers likely to meet governor today
Thiruvananthapuram : Amidst the widening rift between Governor Rajendra Arlekar and state govt, higher education minister R Bindu and law minister P Rajeeve are scheduled to call on the governor at Raj Bhavan on Sunday. Since governor reappointed Ciza Thomas and K Sivaprasad as interim vice-chancellors (VCs) of Digital University Kerala (DUK) and APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) respectively, overlooking the panels submitted by govt, the meeting with ministers isn't expected to bring about a significant change in the strained relations. The ministers were given time to meet the governor at chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan 's request to discuss the way forward in view of the Supreme Court directive to initiate proceedings for appointing regular VCs at the earliest. Vijayan had conveyed his disapproval of the new interim VCs and wanted candidates from govt's list to be appointed. "The ministers may only repeat what CM conveyed to governor through a letter. Govt is unlikely to soften its stand unless the first move towards reconciliation comes from Raj Bhavan," said govt sources. However, Raj Bhavan sources said state govt was taking the media for a ride by falsely accusing governor for reappointing interim VCs in the two universities. "Unlike what govt claims, the persons whom govt recommended as interim VCs were not eligible to the posts, as per conditions laid out in the respective acts and rules of the two universities," sources added. According to KTU and DUK acts, either a VC of a nearby university or the pro-VC of the same university can be appointed as interim VC. Though the acts say that the secretary of higher education can also be considered as interim VC, the Supreme Court has already ruled against such a proposition. "The chancellor can appoint persons recommended by govt only if govt recommends persons who fulfil the conditions stipulated in the university acts. Since none of the persons in the govt panel were eligible, the chancellor had no option but to reappoint the former VCs in charge. The SC also mentioned in the order that the chancellor is free to reappoint the former interim VCs for a six-month period," Raj Bhavan sources said. Meanwhile, state higher education principal secretary Sharmila Mary Joseph, who obtained an appointment to meet the governor at Raj Bhavan on Saturday, didn't turn up for the meeting.

Over 2 lakh forms requesting Mahadevi's return to Nandani Jain mutt sent to President
Kolhapur: An online petition initiated by MLC Satej Patil garnered 2,04,421 signatures nationwide, demanding the relocation of the elephant, named Mahadevi alias Madhuri, to the Jain mutt in Nandani. On Saturday morning, the signed petition forms were sanctified by Jinsen Bhattarak Pattacharya, the chief of the Jain mutt, and sent to President Draupadi Murmu via post from Kolhapur's Ramanmala post office by Satej Patil and former MLA Ruturaj Patil. Speaking on the occasion, Satej Patil said, "After the Supreme Court's decision, a lot of disappointment spread among the people. This discontent can be seen as within 48 hours, 2,04,421 people from across the nation signed the petition supporting the call to bring the elephant back to the Nandani Jain mutt. We took printouts of all these forms, sanctified them by the chief of the mutt, and then sent them to the President. We request President Draupadi Murmu to give attention to this and resolve thë issue." Patil also commented on Vantara CEO Vivaan Karani's visit to Kolhapur on Friday, saying, "We were not invited. Only Mahayuti party MLAs and MPs were invited for the meeting when the CEO of Vantara arrived in Kolhapur. Therefore, we do not know anything about what discussions were held, what agreement took place or whether a settlement was done. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The guardian minister has said it is a legal issue and legal procedure will have to be followed, but Mahayuti MLAs and MPs should declare in how many days the elephant will be brought back. As an opposition party member, we have done the work of showcasing public sentiments in front of the President." He added, "Elephants causing menace in Ajara, Chandgad, and Bhudargad regions should be taken to Vantara instead of this tamed temple elephant. If they give a protocol, then we assure them that the elephant will be taken care of as per their guidelines. This is an issue of religious and traditional beliefs. If over 14,000 cow shelters are run by Jain communities across the world, then how can someone say that they can't manage a single elephant?" Meanwhile, several villages in Kolhapur and Sangli districts observed a village bandh on Saturday, shutting down businesses and schools. Rallies were held in these villages demanding the return of the elephant to Nandani. The elephant's rehabilitation from the mutt to a Jamnagar facility, carried out on the night of July 29 after the Supreme Court dismissed the mutt's appeal against the Bombay high court order directing such relocation, prompted an emotionally and politically charged campaign to bring Mahadevi back.

Access to safe, well-maintained roads a part of right to life: Supreme Court judgment
The Supreme Court has clarified that access to safe, motorable and well-maintained roads is an essential part of the fundamental right to life under the Constitution. A Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan held the right to travel to any part of the country was a basic right. 'Since the right to access any part of the country, with certain exceptions and restrictions under certain circumstances, is a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, the right to safe, well-maintained, and motorable roads is recognised as a part of the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution of India,' Justice Mahadevan, who authored the recent judgment, observed. The Court said the maintenance of roads was squarely the responsibility of the State. 'It is the responsibility of the State to develop and maintain the roads directly under its control,' the court noted. The judgment was based on an appeal filed by Umri Pooph Pratappur (UPP) Tollways Private Limited against the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Limited (MPRDC). The dispute appeal was against a State High Court decision on a concession agreement between the two entities for the development of the Umri-Pooph-Pratappur Road on a 'Build, Operate and Transfer' basis. The total cost of the project was ₹73.68 crore for the augmentation of the existing road from the T-Junction of State Highway 45 at Umari Village to 43.775 km on the Umri-Pooph-Pratappur section of Major District Road in the State.
