The court was of the view that by way of the Ordinance, the government wants to put control over the temple which cannot be permitted and it is in violation of Article 25 of the Constitution of India. Earlier on July 21, high court-appointed amicus curiae Sanjay Goswami questioned the competence of the state to issue the Ordinance. Live Events "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," he said, alleging that by issuing the Ordinance, the government is trying to take control over the temple through the back door. "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," he said. According to Goswami, the nominated trustees are saints, seers, gurus, scholars, mathadhish and mahants from the Vaishnav tradition as well as followers of Sanatan Dharm. He took strong objections to the inclusion of seven ex-officio trustees such as the Mathura district magistrate (DM), senior superintendent of police (SSP), municipal commissioner, chief executive officer of the Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikash Parishad, an officer of UP's Religious Affairs Department and chief executive officer of Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust. He contended that there is no need for the appointment of ex-officio trustees by the state government, as this would amount to a back door entry by the 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 the back door and taking control of the Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple, as it is a private temple and followers and successors of Swami Hari Das Ji are managing the temple.

Mercedes-Benz trims profit margin forecast due to $420 million US tariff impact

Mercedes-Benz trimmed its annual car sales and profit margin forecasts on Wednesday, flagging a nearly $420 million impact from U.S. tariffs in 2025. The German luxury carmaker said it expects a profit margin of 4% to 6% for its car business this year and annual group revenue "significantly below" 2024 levels, both for its cars and vans, factoring in the impact of tariffs.

It withdrew that guidance in April. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Man Revealing His Strategy To Earn Upto 3K-5K Daily Income thefutureuniversity Learn More Excluding tariffs, the unit's margin outlook would have been at the lower end of the original guidance, it said on Wednesday. Mercedes shares were down 1.5% in early Frankfurt trading. Live Events The result reflect the wider repercussions of Trump's tariff policy, which has seen European carmakers hit with higher U.S. import taxes this year. Volkswagen's luxury brand Porsche cut its full-year profitability target on Wednesday. The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the EU on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. Mercedes halved its expectations for the impact of tariffs on its car business margin to about 150 basis points, a company spokesperson said. That would result in a tariff effect of 362 million euros ($418 million) on the division's adjusted operating profit (EBIT) in 2025. Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the trade deal, which averted a trade conflict that would have hit Germany's export-driven economy and its large auto sector hard. BENEFICIARY OF TRADE DEAL Mercedes is among the most significant beneficiaries of the U.S.-EU trade deal due to its greater share of imports into the U.S. from Europe than from Mexico or Canada, Morningstar analysts wrote in a research note on Monday. It also produces cars in its U.S. plant of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The company's second-quarter adjusted operating income more than halved to 1.99 billion euros ($2.30 billion). The impact of tariffs, efficiency measures and a 750 million euro impact from the sale of a plant and restructuring in Argentina lowered its reported EBIT, or operating profit, even further to 1.27 billion euros, it said in a statement. Its revenues dropped 9% to 33.15 billion euros on lower car and van sales, as well as the impact of tariffs. Sales and operating profit figures were "no surprise", Jefferies said in a note, pointing to lower volume and price and sales in China. Unit sales in China decreased by 10% and 19% respectively in the first and second quarters of 2025 compared to last year, it had said earlier this month. The company and other German carmakers face a decline in China due to intensifying local competition.

The tremor, which happened at 1:25 p.m. HST, was thought to be shallow, which makes it more likely to cause a tsunami, as per a report by Hawaii News Now. Even when they happen far away from land, shallow earthquakes can move a lot of water, making waves that can travel a long way. There are no reports of damage or deaths in Russia right now, but emergency plans have been put into action in nearby areas, and monitoring stations across the Pacific are on high alert, as per Reuters. Live Events What does it mean that Hawaii is under a tsunami watch? The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center sent out a tsunami watch for Hawaii just eight minutes after the quake hit, at 1:33 p.m. HST. Even though there was no proof of a tsunami at the time, the watch was put in place as a safety measure, as per a report by Hawaii News Now. Scientists say that "based on all available data," the strong tremor may have caused a tsunami, which could have made waves that were strong enough to destroy things. These waves could go thousands of miles and affect coastal areas far away from the earthquake's center.

Prepare to take action if the watch is upgraded to a advisory or warning. What should people do if there's a tsunami? Officials are telling people in Hawaii to stay alert and follow orders carefully. Residents should be ready to do something if a tsunami watch is issued, especially if the alert level goes up to an advisory or full warning. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency set up a conference call with all the counties in the state to plan how to respond. There are no watches or warnings in effect outside of Hawaii right now, but emergency teams are still on the lookout and ready. People who live in areas that could be hit by a tsunami should check to see if they are in an evacuation zone and make emergency kits with the things they need. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wants people to know that flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period. This is why it's always better to start getting ready early. The next few hours will be very important as new alerts and wave reports come in. FAQs Is Hawaii in danger from the Kamchatka earthquake?
