Cannot direct Speaker but expect early ruling on TMC rebels: Supreme Court

Cannot direct Speaker but expect early ruling on TMC rebels: Supreme Court NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Wednesday remarked that it expected Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to take an "expeditious" decision on a plea seeking the disqualification of 20 rebel TMC MPs who have joined Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI).A bench comprising CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said it was aware that it could not issue a direction to the Lok Sabha Speaker, "but we just want to remind him about an expeditious resolution".Senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee, representing TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, submitted that the rebel parliamentarians had not filed a response despite notices being issued and had sought further extension.Solicitor general Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Speaker, told SC that Birla had issued notices on the disqualification petitions. "He knows the seriousness of the matter," Mehta said.The CJI remarked, "We will expect anything which is required to be decided expeditiously, the very nature... demands early adjudication." Mehta responded, "Can a constitutional functionary remind another constitutional functionary of his constitutional duty?" He said the court should not prescribe a time limit for the Speaker. Justice Bagchi said, "...We may not give imperative directions, but keeping in mind the decision in the Keisham Meghachandra Singh case... have resolution of this issue expeditiously."In the 2020 case, SC had ruled that the speaker must decide defection cases within a reasonable time, preferably three months.Justice Bagchi asked Mehta to submit a timeline for the Speaker's decision. Mehta, however, said he could not give SC a commitment. I would urge not to fix the Speaker's schedule," he said.The top court recorded the submission of the rebel MPs that they would file a…

Regulator Irdai proposes to ban 'dark patterns' on insurance websites

Regulator Irdai proposes to ban 'dark patterns' on insurance websites - Regulators - 3 min read Regulator Irdai proposes to ban 'dark patterns' on insurance websites The Expense of Management (EoM) framework is proposed to be recalibrated through lower limits with a phased glide path, the paper said. New Delhi, Regulator Irdai on Wednesday proposed prohibiting 'dark patterns' on insurance websites, including practices that require customers to provide personal details to access product features and pricing information. As part of wide-ranging reforms aimed at making insurance distribution more transparent and customer-centric, Irdai has issued a consultation paper on 'Recalibrating Economics of Insurance Distribution', setting out a comprehensive framework of reforms covering insurance distribution, its structure, expenses, commissions, market conduct, transparency and leveraging digital infrastructure. The Expense of Management (EoM) framework is proposed to be recalibrated through lower limits with a phased glide path, the paper said. For life insurers, the EoM limit would move to a company-level basis linked to Gross Direct Premium Income (GDPI), with the limit proposed at 15 within two years and 12.5 within five years. For general insurers, the basis would shift from gross written premium (GWP) to domestic GDPI, with the EoM limit reducing from 30 per cent of GWP to 20 per cent of GDPI within five years, also through progressive annual reductions. "The proposed reduction in EoM is intended to lower the overall cost of insurance, thereby expanding the risk pool available in general insurance and enhancing returns to policyholders in life savings products," said the paper. The consultation paper proposes tracking dark patterns and making relevant performance information available to…
