A Bombay High Court Bench of Justices SS Shinde and Manish Pitale will shortly hear a petition filed by Poet Dr. Varavara Rao’s wife seeking his release on medical grounds

 Sr adv Anand Grover submits that except for the first medical record of Varavara Rao's JJ Hospital admission, the State has submitted all other medical records
J Shinde - Bail has been applied on medical ground.

Asg - his present condition has to be seen.

J Shinde - If they want to argue after bringing all the medical records they should be allowed to do so.
ASG- The latest report doesnt show dementia
J Manish Pitale- Can dementia go backward in time Mr. Singh? Can a patient become devoid of dementia?
Sr. Adv Anand Grover - We don't want him in Nanavati anymore. He has temporarily recovered. But we are pressing for bail on medical grounds.
Grover and sr. Adv Indira Jaising will both argue for Dr. Varavara Rao
Indira Jaising: We have decided among ourselves that Anand is a bio chemist and therefore will argue for bail on medical grounds and I will argue on the wife's petition for a declaration on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment .
Aanand Grover- He has an enlarged prostrate gland. So UTI is very common, and from there he suffered from derilium.
Anand Grover - The main problem is Taloja. They dont have the infrastructure for his constant monitoring.
Grover begins reading out the dates right from the beginning
Anand Grover - 1st of June he was discharged from JJ Hospital. Till now the report has not been made available to us. On June 2, 2020 the adv on record had the opportunity to see the report.
He had complained of giddiness, he's a know case of hypertension, imbalance in the amount of electrolytes and low sodium. Kidney failure is know consequence of these.
Anand Grover (refering to the last Nanavati report) - There are a list of 20 medicines being given to him. I had written to Nanavati if there can be a relapse, no response.
J Shinde - We want the entire list of medicines.
Because he has underlined conditions, we wrote to Nanavati asking if it possible with his ailments that he may suffer UTI again as it's a drug-resistant bug? And can there can be a covid relapse?

There is no response to this.
The serum electrolyte test which was the most important test, was not done till now..[till his admission to nanavati]
J Shinde - One interruption. Mr. Singh chargesheet is filed, charge is not framed.
How many witnesses have been cited?
ASG checking, meanwhile Anand Grover continues argument on medical bail.
Anand Grover- I dont want to find fault with Taloja jail, but the requiring monitoring was not done.
Justice SS Shinde - Please summarise in the end the cumulative effect of these ailments on his health.
Sr. Adv Anand Grover - Within 48 days of his earlier discharge, he was unable to even brush his teeth.
Anand Grover - Please look at the report.

In JJ Hospital his sodium levels are shown to be 136 but days later Nanavati and St. George find it at 120. The normal level is 135.
This shows that he was not in a fit state even before he was admitted JJ.
He would be better off to stand for trial, among his own family members in Hyderabad. He has a neurological problem.

He is not a character who will not stand trial. He has had 24 cases against him but never absconded.
Taloja acknowledges he needs close monitoring as Nanavati has said it. But they can't do it.

Ordinary people don't think prisons or prisoners requires priority. Taloja is incapable of taking care of this patient as they are ill equipped.
There is a lack of infrastructure.
J Shinde- The hospital(Nanavati) for medical experts has given the opinion he is fit for discharge. Can that be substituted?
Anand - He is fit to be discharged. But that doesn't mean he does not require close monitoring and Taloja Jail is incapable that.
And he is still suffering from Hyponatremia (Low sodium level). In the past as well, Nanavati has directed Taloja to monitor his sodium level it was not done. We don't even know if the urine culture was done.
ASG - He ( #VaravaraRao ) doesnt suffer from dementia as per his last report.

J Manish Pitale- Can dementia go backward in time Mr. Singh? Can a patient become devoid of dementia?

ASG Anil Singh - I am not a medical expert.

#bhimakoregaon @LiveLawIndia
J Pitale- Mr. Gover in all these ailments, where is dementia?

Anand Grover - Argument is that he suffers from low sodium levels, which often lead to derilium. The symptoms are akin to dementia.
Case adjourned to 2.30pm tomorrow.

Kerala High Court resumes hearing of Bail Application of M Sivasankar, Former Principal Secretary of Kerala Chief Minister


Sivasankar is presently in ED's custody for alleged involvement in the Kerala Gold Smuggling case. He is also being investigated by the NIA and Customs Department.

Senior Advocate Jaideep Gupta is arguing for Sivasankar.

He denies ED's allegations that Sivasankar contacted customs officials to clear the baggage alleged to be containing smuggled gold.

Gupta claims statement made by co-accused Swapna Suresh about Sivasankar's involvement are not credible as the same were made after her arrest.

Gupta points out that the correspondence between Sivasankar and Swapna does not disclose any knowledge on the latter's part.

He also tells Court that all of Swapna's statements categorically denied his client's involvement in gold smuggling, until before her arrest.

A Supreme Court bench headed by CJI SA Bobde is hearing a PIL seeking the direction for the Ministry of Home Affairs, Law and Justice and Women and Child Development to make all the personal laws uniform.

Senior Adv. Pinky Anand is appearing for the Petitioners followed by Meenakshi Arora.
The plea seeks the removal of personal laws as they are discriminatory under Art. 14,15 and other provisions of International Covenants.

CJI: You want the abolishment of Personal Laws?
Pinky Anand: No
CJI: You are not saying it doesn't mean that's not the reality.

"You are asking us to encroach upon personal laws and remove the distinction that they create." CJI said.

Pinky Anand refers to the cases of Shayara Bano and Sarala Mudgal to argue that Courts on earlier occasions have struck down laws and gave directions for practices found to be unconstitutional.

#Thread on #HijabCase judgment of Karnataka HC. Relevant observations :
"The Holy Quran does not mandate wearing of #hijab or headgear for Muslim women. Whatever is stated in the above sūras, we say, is only directory , because of absence of prescription of penalty or penance.."


"...for not wearing #hijab, the linguistic structure of verses supports this view.

"This apparel at the most is a means to gain access to public places & not a religious end in itself. It was a measure of women enablement and not a figurative constraint" - Karnataka High Court

#Hijab at most a cultural practice.

"Regard being had to the kind of life conditions then obtaining in the region concerned, wearing hijab was recommended as a measure of social security for women & to facilitate their safe access to public domain"- Karnataka High Court

"At the most the practice of wearing this apparel may have something to do with culture but certainly not with religion" - Karnataka High Court in #HijabVerdict


"Thus, it can be reasonably assumed that the practice of wearing hijab had a thick nexus to the socio-cultural conditions then prevalent in the region. The veil was a safe means for the women to leave the confines of their homes" - Karnataka High Court in #HijabRow case

#SupremeCourt is hearing a Public Interest Litigation seeking directions by Top Court, to provide food and healthcare facilities to children and lactating mothers, because the entire Anganwadi system has shut due to the lockdown.

On November 28, the Top Court had directed the Centre & States to file affidavits with regard to implementation of guidelines issued on operation of Anganwadi in the context of COVID-19.

Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves says he has prepared a chart wrt to the laxity of the Union with regard to the Aanganwadi system.

The Central Govt's survey on what states had done points to the fact that states had not reopened anganwadi systems in light of the notification of the Govt dated November 11, says Gonsalves.

The system is totally at a standstill, says Gonsalves.

The NHRC study and recommendation states that he Anganwadi's must immediately restart, says Gonsalves

Most elite Indians (primarily savarna white collar urban english medium educated folks like me) land on Western shores convinced that we are just as advanced and developed as these countries as a people. It's just "corruption" in India holding us back. Then reality hits. /1

We see that the West works better on a daily level, but not because of some mythical genetic or societal immunity to this mythical "corruption" villain. Cos there is corruption in Western politics too. They seem to have institutions and systems built over ages to minimize it.

But most Indians who reach these shores are engineer/mba/doctor types. Trained in secondary vocational type disciplines. So our default approach is to find a quick engineering type solution. We have almost zero exposure to sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, etc.

I remember being like that. Engineer-MBA who thought that because my vocabulary and exposition skills were above average and my quant skills were above average, I deserve a seat at the table on any discussion. Be it climate change, public health, efficacy of vaccines, etc.

For anything, I thought I knew the best. Why was this Obama fellow not trying my absolutely brilliant healthcare reform plan that I have posted on a blog with nice tables and graphs and references to IIT and IIM slang? Does he not know I'm from an IIM? <1% acceptance rate!

#AsalBharat - How Sanatan Dharma brings out heroes even Avengers may not match up with -


Today is the day when in 1923, a braveheart took birth in the home of Dr. Amarnath Sharma, an officer in the Armed Medical Corps of the then British Indian Army. He was not extremely studious, but was brilliant at sports and other physical activities.

He followed into the footsteps of his illustrious family, and joined the British Indian Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, right into the middle of World War II. Later on, he would gain name by fighting against all odds at Badgam in November 1947, getting martyred when he was only 24.

This was Major Somnath Sharma, the first recipient of India's highest gallantry award, the Param Vir Chakra. But did you know that the medal was designed by his own brother's mother in law? -


Yes, call it a twist of irony, or sheer coincidence, but the Param Vir Chakra was actually designed by the mother in law of Major Somnath Sharma's brother, whose name was Savitri Bai Khanolkar. Even more interesting is the fact she was not a Bharatiya by birth either -

The #toolkit dropped by @GretaThunberg had many key players but the name of the foreign expert Pieter Friedrich was dramatic as he was the part of a true story we were working(About group which tried every possible way to unsettle

These series of events have been around everyone for long but yet major stakeholders failed to notice this shift from proxy war to info-war/psy-war
Our attempt was to try & map this network, we did expect a elaborate design but the reach & depth of the planning was shocking(2/17)


The proxy war:
The story starts from the 1980’s, where Bhajan Singh Bhinder aka Iqbal choudhary was funding a terror network for carrying out large scale violence with the help of another terrorist Lal Singh & Pakistan’s ISI. India escaped this attack,Lal Singh got arrested(3/17)


These attacks were part of a large conspiracy called K-2(#Kashmir-#Khalistan), which hatched in Lahore under patronage of Amir ul Azeem, the secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami and was supported by several others like the Uncle of present S&T minister of Pakistan @fawadchaudhry (4/17)


At the same time in the US Bhinder & his gang were involved in a major trans-national drug trafficking & a DVD privacy network. In order to fund this network they managed to take control of the most prominent Gurdwara(Fremont Gurdwara) after a bloody fight within Gurdwara (5/17)

How you can filter stocks for Intraday trades - 🧵

As a kid, we would do homework before school the next day - you have to do homework here too. A specific sector performs on a particular day and studying things a day before will help you spot that particular sector. (1/11)

To prepare for the next trading day, you got to check the Index charts of all sectors. You got to keep an eye on a specific Index if you see a few factors:

- If any Index closed exactly at the resistance, you can get a trade on either side on the next day. (2/11)

- If it gave a rejection candle at resistance.

- If any Index closed exactly at support, you can get a trade on either side the following day.

- If there was a bullish signal at the support.

- If any Index gave a breakout or breakdown and then gave a good closing. (3/11)

- If any Index has taken support at 50 or 200 EMA.

Once you spot the Index, look at all the stocks in that particular Index. Pick at least 3-4 stocks from that Index and add them to your watchlist for the next day. It's ideal to check both higher and lower timeframes. (4/11)

What you should do next day? (When I am unable to check Indices and stocks a day before, I sometimes directly start with this process.)

- Start with checking the top gainers/losers list. I observe market from 9:15 to 9:45am to check the sectors performing well on that day.(5/11)

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

Importance of Famous Payyannur Pavithra Mothiram or Ring

Payyanur Sri Subramanya Swami Temple 🚩
Kerala

Temple, constructed by Parasurama is known as the 'Pazhani' of Kerala.The place got its name from 'Payyante Ooru' where Payyan is another name by which Subramanya was called.


There are references about this temple in Brahmanda purana. Muni Garga mentions this temple and the place to  the Pandavas when they were in Vanavasa. Temple was destroyed two times, once due to fire and then during the attack of Tipu Sultan.


Important tradition here is wearing of Pavithram by the temple priest. Pavithram is a sort of  ring worn during performing Vedic rituals or during the "pithrubali". Usually worn while performing Tarpana or Shradham. The traditional Pavitram is usually made of Dharbha grass
