Imprisonment Does Not Restrict Individual's Right To Pursue Education: Bombay High Court https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/bombay-high-court/bombay-high-court-directs-law-college-admit-bhima-koregaon-accused-mahesh-raut-llb-course-270596 Narsi Benwal 25 Sept 2024 

A division bench of Justices Ajay Gadkari and Dr Neela Gokhale made the observation while ordering a Mumbai-based Law College, to admit Mahesh Raut, one of the accused in the Bhima-Koregaon case, as a student for the LLB course for the academic year 2024-2027.

"Imprisonment does not restrict an individual's right to pursue further education. Denying the opportunity to take admission in the College despite a seat being allotted by following the due process as prescribed, is a violation of the fundamental right of the Petitioner. In these circumstances, we are inclined to allow the Petitioner to take admission in the LL.B. course in the Siddharth Law College for the Academic Year 2024-25 for the batch of 2024-2027," the bench observed.

Whatap FM: It is deplorable though that a high court had to be approached to enable him to get admission ..This after a whole year went by after he was given bail which was then stayed! He, Sudhir Dhawale, Surendra Gadling and Rona Wilson are among those incarcerated from 2018

Whatsapp Vis How much more torture he is supposed to endure one wonders! This is easily amongst the longest incarcerations from all the activists.

#DelhiRiotsLargerConspiracyCase:  ... Bail petitions have been pending for more than 2 years, arguments heard at least 3-4 times, and yet, Judges unwilling to pass orders. It is nothing less than a scandal. ...this is definitely NOT routine. First Bench reserved orders for more than 6 months and yet failed to pass them. Second Bench, despite being told to reserve orders, chose not to do so. This is absolutely abnormal. The other possibility, of course, is if the Judges themselves are self-censoring and kowtowing with the govt for Chief Justiceship and possible elevation to Supreme Court. Either way, this case is a stain on the Delhi High Court. One must also ask that if the senior Judge on the bench is doing this, is the junior judge supposed to sit like a lame-duck? Can the junior judge not put their foot down and say “I will write an order if you don’t”? Is every junior judge of all the benches that have so far heard these bail pleas not with a spine?

Delhi riots cases: Judges’ new postings mean bail pleas to be heard afresh, third time https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/delhi-riots-cases-judges-new-postings-mean-bail-pleas-to-be-heard-afresh-third-time-9588269/
Filed separately beginning March 2022, the bail pleas of Abdul Khalid Saifi, Gulfisha Fatima, Md Saleem Khan and Shifa Ur Rehman have been argued fully by their lawyers twice before two different benches. With both the benches, the presiding Judge was appointed as Chief Justice of another HC, and no verdict was delivered.
With Justice Suresh Kumar Kait, who headed the bench that last heard the case, taking oath as Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh HC on Wednesday, the case will have to be heard de novo (from the beginning) before a new bench.
In April 2022, a bench comprising Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar began hearing the bail pleas. The bench reserved its order in all four cases — for Saifi on January 5, 2023; for Fatima on February 13, 2023; and for Khan and Rehman on March 6, 2023. The bail pleas of two other accused, Athar Khan and Shadab Ahmad, were also heard at length. While both sides completed their arguments, the accused were to submit a rejoinder to rebut the prosecution’s arguments.

India Plans $1.1 Billion Retaliatory Tariffs Against EU Steel Restrictions  https://swarajyamag.com/news-brief/india-plans-11-billion-retaliatory-tariffs-against-eu-steel-restrictionswhat-you-need-to-know 

India is likely to impose additional tariffs amounting to $1.1 billion on some EU-origin products in retaliation against the bloc's extended safeguard duties on its steel imports. The process of finalising the list of items, on which the tariffs will be imposed, has commenced.

India to impose retaliatory measures against European Union's steel tariffs https://www.business-standard.com/economy/news/india-to-impose-retaliatory-measures-against-european-union-s-steel-tariffs-124092001287_1.html  India informed the World Trade Organisation (WTO) that it has decided to impose retaliatory measures against the European Union’s (EU’s) steel tariffs that has been in effect since 2018, and was extended till June 2026. 
The move comes after bilateral engagements with the trade bloc had failed earlier this year.

https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/news/eu-prolongs-steel-safeguard-measure-until-june-2026-2024-06-25_en  an investigation requested by fourteen EU Member States, which showed that the safeguard measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury to the EU’s steel industry. In addition, it showed that EU industry is adjusting to a higher level of imports.  ..

Justitifcation by EU :  significant import pressure on the Union market:      high levels of global steel overcapacity and the surge of exports from China to third countries, notably in Asia, resulting in increased exports from those third countries to the EU;       the increased number of trade defence measures and other trade restrictive measures imposed by other third countries, and;      the significant reduction of demand in the EU.
