India set to contest US tariff move, calls 'forced labour' findings legally flawed

India set to contest US tariff move, calls 'forced labour' findings legally flawed India is set to challenge the proposed US tariffs on exports before the US Trade Representative (USTR) next week, arguing that findings related to alleged forced labour are legally flawed and could negatively impact American businesses and consumers. Representatives from the commerce ministry along with industry bodies including APEDA, FICCI, CII and ACMA will present India’s counter-arguments at a public hearing scheduled for July 8, according to news agency PTI. India says USTR findings ignore legal safeguards India has already submitted written responses stating that the USTR findings do not adequately consider the country’s “robust domestic legal regime”, which it describes as a structured framework combining statutory prohibitions, institutional mechanisms and ongoing policy measures aimed at preventing forced labour. The government maintains that its regulatory system reflects a progressive approach that reduces vulnerability to forced labour across supply chains. Industry bodies defend compliance framework In its submission, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) argued that India’s policy framework does not qualify as “unreasonable” or “discriminatory” under Section 301(b) of the US Trade Act of 1974. It added that India has a strong constitutional and statutory system ensuring that companies cannot engage in forced labour. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) said Indian export supply chains serving the US market operate under established compliance systems that include traceability, supplier due diligence, independent audits and responsible sourcing practices. The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) also said India’s auto-component sector is organised, technology-driven and governed by established labour and…

Delhi High Court directs surprise audit of government hospitals over implementation of NextGen e-HMIS portal

Delhi High Court directs surprise audit of government hospitals over implementation of NextGen e-HMIS portal The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to conduct a surprise audit of 38 Delhi government hospitals to ascertain whether the NextGen e-Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is being effectively implemented. A bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora passed the order. The NextGen e-HMIS portal created by National Informatics Centre (NIC) intends to provide information regarding availability of ICU beds and other emergency treatment services in hospitals. Its objective is digitisation of healthcare services for quick and effective treatment and improved diagnosis. “We are making it clear to all the hospitals that NIC team would now be doing a surprise (supplies) audit of all the hospitals in Delhi, 38 hospitals, to see whether NextGen [e-HMIS] has been implemented and wherever there is reference of ICU if they are taking care of it properly,” the Court stated. The Court also directed the Delhi government to give live demonstration of the NextGen e-HMIS platform software and ‘ICU Beds Saarthi’. The directions were passed in a suo moto case of the Court in which matters related to Delhi hospitals and healthcare are routinely monitored. The amicus curiae today informed the court that one Qamar Jahan was turned away from Lok Nayak Hospital due to unavailability of an ICU bed. However, the patient’s grand-daughter told the Court that the e-HMIS website showed availability of two ICU beds. “This is an unfortunate situation.

NCDRC pulls up Jaipur consumer forum over bailable warrants against Salman Khan in Rajshree ad case

NCDRC pulls up Jaipur consumer forum over bailable warrants against Salman Khan in Rajshree ad case The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently took exception to the Jaipur District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission issuing bailable warrants to actor Salman Khan without properly examining the complaint of misleading advertisements against him [Salman Salim Khan v. In its July 2 order, a Bench of Justice AP Sahi and Member Bharatkumar Pandya observed that the district commission had not even made the "minimum effort" to examine the distinction between a misleading advertisement and surrogate or shadow marketing before concluding that the advertisement promoted a tobacco product. The NCDRC said that the district commission should have first examined whether the complaint disclosed a case of misleading advertisement before issuing bailable warrants. "The District Commission did not even make the minimum effort to explore the distinction of a misleading advertisement or shadow marketing and in effect arrived at an abrupt conclusion that the product was meant to promote and advertise some tobacco produce. There is a complete absence of even a prima facie assessment about the product and the same appears to be lacking in the order of the State Commission as well," the NCDRC observed. It further said that the district commission and the state commission should have focused on the allegations in the complaint rather than expanding the proceedings into issues relating to the genuineness of Khan's signatures. "The question that begs consideration is should the District Commission or a State Commission have focussed on the real issue pertaining to the correctness or otherwise of the allegations in the complaint instead of expanding on the law of evidence and travelling towards the forensic examination of the…
