Supreme Court Pushes Back On CEC Suspension Demand | Gyanesh Kumar Case, Form 6 Row | TRS

The Supreme Court has firmly pushed back against the demand for an immediate suspension of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, while agreeing to examine allegations of unilateral decision-making inside the Election Commission.Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for the petitioner, pressed for interim action, arguing that the issue could undermine voting rights and the functioning of the election machinery. The Supreme Court, however, said it must first hear the Election Commission and examine the records rather than act solely on newspaper reports.The court also reiterated that Election Commission decisions must be taken unanimously or by majority, and indicated that if any decision is ultimately found to be contrary to law, it can be set aside. The bench specifically sought records concerning the controversial Form 6 changes.The hearing comes amid allegations that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections to several SIR-related decisions. The Election Commission has maintained that its decisions have full legal sanction and follow established procedures. n18oc_the-right-standn18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube

Did Israel Miss The Warning Signs? Yaakov Amidror On Flydubai Attack & Security Gaps | Raw Report

Did Israel Ignore Red Flags? The thwarted attack aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073 has triggered a major security and intelligence probe after Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami allegedly attacked Indian Captain Smit Machchhar and attempted to seize control of the aircraft.New reporting points to possible security and vetting failures across Oman, the UAE and Israel. Omani authorities had reportedly identified concerns about al-Hammami’s extremist views and barred him from flying for Oman Air, yet those concerns were not broadly shared. Israel also received crew information before the flight but did not flag the Omani co-pilot.Former Israeli National Security Adviser Maj Gen (R) Yaakov Amidror says there was no established international process requiring countries to report such concerns to one another.Meanwhile, Captain Smit Machchhar has been praised for his courage in helping prevent a catastrophe and save the lives of those onboard. -reportn18oc_indiaCNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
