Delhi govt mulls proposal to make registration, licensing mandatory for PG facilities - Litigation - 2 min read Delhi govt mulls proposal to make registration, licensing mandatory for PG facilities In the backdrop of the Satya Niketan PG building collapse, the Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is considering a proposal under which registration and licensing could be made mandatory for all such facilities used by students, an official source said on Tuesday. New Delhi, In the backdrop of the Satya Niketan PG building collapse, the Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is considering a proposal under which registration and licensing could be made mandatory for all such facilities used by students, an official source said on Tuesday. The terms of registration may include elaborate provisions for CCTV and compulsory posting of a night guard and a warden, said the source. A provision to regulate rents in PG facilities may also be included in a policy framework that the Delhi government is planning to introduce, on the lines of the one it introduced for Bread and Breakfast guest houses after the deadly fire at Malviya Nagar. The proposed framework may also include a facility to lodge complaints or rate a PG facility on the "GovPG Portal", said a source. A monitoring committee, comprising representatives of colleges and coaching institutions, may also be set up to maintain supervision on PG facilities. The government is also considering offering tax rebates and other incentives to PG operators who follow the regulatory framework and help it achieve a safe environment for students who use such facilities, said a source. Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police arrested a labour contractor who was overseeing repairs in the ill-fated Satya Niketan PG building's basement from Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh.

SC rejects proposal of Parsvnath Developers for homebuyers, asked it to file another - Litigation - 4 min read SC rejects proposal of Parsvnath Developers for homebuyers, asked it to file another The Supreme Court turned down Parsvnath Developers' request regarding flat possession and repayment. The court cautioned that a High-Powered Committee could be appointed if the builders don't offer an acceptable proposal. Additionally, a plea from the Insolvency Resolution Professional to access a frozen bank account was denied. The bench emphasized the ongoing struggles faced by homebuyers, linking them to numerous cases involving delayed possessions against the builder. NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the proposal of Parsvnath Developers specifying details about handing over possession of flats or repaying monies with interest to hundreds of hassled homebuyers, saying that it seemed like "another device" to delay the proceedings. The top court cautioned that unless a fresh proposal satisfying the claims of all the "allottees or homebuyers" in companies and their subsidiary firms is placed on record, it will be "constrained to appoint a High-Powered Committee for entrustment of all the responsibilities." The homebuyers' claims refer to the refunds, compensation for delayed possession, and non-execution of RERA orders. Taking the proposal of Parsvnath on record, a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said, "We are satisfied that the proposal is nothing but another device to delay the compliance of possession of (flats) and delay the repayment of monies (to homebuyers." The bench permitted the firm to file another proposal which may be acceptable to homebuyers who are waiting endlessly for their homes. It observed that state authorities, which should have worked to secure the interests of…

Panel being set up to suggest framework for regulating unethical practices of pharma firms: Centre to SC - Litigation - 4 min read Panel being set up to suggest framework for regulating unethical practices of pharma firms: Centre to SC The government sought two-month time during which the committee would submit its report that will be placed before the court for approval. New Delhi, The Centre on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it is setting up a three-member panel to suggest a statutory framework for ensuring that pharmaceutical companies do not indulge in unethical practices to lure doctors. The government sought two-month time during which the committee would submit its report that will be placed before the court for approval. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said it is reserving its order on the pleas filed by Federation of Medical and Sales Representatives Associations of India and others, which sought direction that till an effective law was enacted, the top court may lay down the guidelines to control and regulate unethical marketing practices by pharmaceutical companies. "The detailed discussions have taken place and with a view to find out the possible solution, it is decided to constitute a three-member committee requesting them to provide their report on the issues as to whether and if yes, what can be the statutory framework to ensure that pharmaceutical companies also do not indulge into such unethical practices," the government said. It said till such time the report is received and a decision is taken based thereupon, the Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices, 2024 will govern the field. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said there are several aspects involved in the matter which involves various departments under different ministries. "We will be taking a holistic approach on the issue.

Digital Communications Commission approves Trai recommendations on satcom spectrum

Digital Communications Commission approves Trai recommendations on satcom spectrum - Regulators - 2 min read Digital Communications Commission approves Trai recommendations on satcom spectrum Elon Musk-led Starlink, Bharti Group-backed Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Industries Ltd's Jio Satellite Communications have received permission to start satcom services in India. New Delhi, The Digital Communications Commission, the apex decision-making body at the Department of Telecom, has approved most of the recommendations made by sector regulator Trai to allocate spectrum for satellite communications services, according to sources. Elon Musk-led Starlink, Bharti Group-backed Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Industries Ltd's Jio Satellite Communications have received permission to start satcom services in India. The services, however, cannot be rolled out without spectrum allocation and the second stage of security clearance from security agencies. "DCC in its meeting held on September 3 has approved the majority of recommendations made by Trai on satcom spectrum," a source aware of the development said. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) in May 2025 recommended that satellite broadband spectrum be allotted for five years, which can be extended by another two years. The regulator had recommended a levy of 4 per cent of annual revenues as a fee on satcom service providers like Elon Musk's Starlink, but sources said that DoT was of the view to levy 5 per cent instead of 4 per cent suggested by the regulator. Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon Inc's subsidiary Kuiper Systems had, during consultations with the Trai, urged it to keep spectrum charge below 1 per cent of AGR with no other charges.

Irish regulator opens formal investigation into X over child access, parental controls - International - 1 min read Irish regulator opens formal investigation into X over child access, parental controls EU-DSA-IRELAND-Irish regulator opens formal investigation into X over child access, parental controls DUBLIN, Sept 8 - An Irish regulator has begun a formal investigation into social media platform X over concerns about potential child access to material depicting pornography and violence and the effectiveness of parental controls, it said on Tuesday. Media regulator Coimisiun na Mean has the power to apply a fine of up to 10% of "relevant annual turnover" under Ireland's Online Safety Code. Under the code, age assurance is required to ensure that children do not see videos "depicting pornography or extreme/gross and gratuitous violence or acts of cruelty," the regulator said in a statement announcing the investigation. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its website says the company takes a "multi-faceted age assurance approach to verify or estimate whether users are 18 or under." In its statement the regulator also cited concerns that parental controls put in place by X "may not be effective, do not have minimum requirements, are hard to locate and are not brought to the attention of new users at sign-up stage."
