Former IAS officer appointed on Maha UCC panel

Ranjana Desai, retired Supreme Court judge, heads the panel. “The proposal was sent by her quite a few days ago. Singh has worked with her previously on the consultations related to the Uniform Civil Code. He knows the functioning of the panel due to his past experience. Desai had requested that he should be made a part of the committee. The government approved her proposal recently,” a senior government official told.

Trump’s voter verification system returns: What changed after Supreme Court ruling

Trump’s voter verification system returns: What changed after Supreme Court ruling The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to resume using an expanded federal database to help states verify the citizenship status of registered voters, setting aside a lower court order that had blocked the system. The justices granted the Justice Department’s request for a stay of the ruling by a federal judge in Washington, DC. The decision allows the administration to continue using the modified Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, programme while the legal challenge proceeds. The database, which has traditionally been used by government agencies to verify immigration and citizenship status for benefits, was expanded by the administration in 2025. The revised system allows state and local authorities to conduct bulk searches and use Social Security numbers and other information held by the Social Security Administration. Under the system, election officials can submit information about voters to SAVE. If the database cannot confirm a person’s citizenship, officials can ask the individual to provide additional proof of citizenship. The administration has argued that the system is intended to help states identify noncitizens who are registered to vote.

Zee escalates copyright fight against Reliance-Disney's JioStar - Litigation - 2 min read Zee escalates copyright fight against Reliance-Disney's JioStar India's Zee Entertainment has initiated contempt proceedings against JioStar for violations of a court injunction. The injunction prohibits JioStar from using Zee's copyrighted music and content in its programming. Despite the court order, Zee claims JioStar continued to exploit this content after the injunction was issued. JioStar previously argued that any violations were unintentional and residual. The conflict reflects the growing competition for content rights in India's media landscape. Zee Entertainment has asked the Delhi High Court to initiate contempt proceedings against Reliance-Disney joint venture JioStar, alleging it continued to use copyrighted content despite a court injunction, a legal filing shows. The filing, dated September 21, escalates an ongoing copyright dispute between the companies. Zee alleges JioStar is guilty of "wilful disobedience" because it continued using Zee's music and songs in programmes broadcast on its platforms despite a court order barring such use.

Self-listing feasible; decision is regulator's prerogative: NSE Chairman

Self-listing feasible; decision is regulator's prerogative: NSE Chairman - Regulators - 3 min read Self-listing feasible; decision is regulator's prerogative: NSE Chairman A day after the country's largest bourse got listed on rival exchange BSE, Injeti pitched for self-listing, saying that things which are not permitted today may be allowed tomorrow amid evolving regulations. Mumbai, Self-listing by stock exchanges is feasible, but the decision remains under the purview of market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India, National Stock Exchange Chairperson Srinivas Injeti said on Friday. A day after the country's largest bourse got listed on rival exchange BSE, Injeti pitched for self-listing, saying that things which are not permitted today may be allowed tomorrow amid evolving regulations. Current regulations do not allow self-listing or trading of the shares of an exchange on its own platform. In compliance with present norms, NSE shares are listed on BSE and vice versa. But this (self-listing) is something which is in the realm of feasibility... it is feasible," he said. Injeti, a former bureaucrat, also mentioned that allowing or not allowing self-listing depends on the comfort and concerns of the market regulator Sebi. Once such a move is permitted, and NSE is able to meet the requirements adequately to the satisfaction of the regulator, then self-listing may become reality.
