"A judge may independently recuse himself from a case that the Chief Justice has assigned to him. He would have to decide that for himself. But recusal at the asking of a litigating party, unless justified, must never be acceded to,” the senior judge wrote when the counsel representing MRC requested him to recuse, fearing bias as the judge had passed adverse orders against MRC in another case and had also appeared against it in two cases during his stint as a lawyer.

🌀️ Be the Change — Let’s Clean the Air, Water, and Land Together

🌀️  Be the Change — Let’s Clean the Air, Water, and Land Together Introduction  Every day, the planet gives us what we need—air, water, land. But lately, these basics aren’t as safe as they should be. The air’s getting dirtier, water’s turning toxic, and land is wearing out. We’re at a point where we have to make a choice: either we let things keep slipping, or we step up to protect what’s left. Take India, for example. It shows just how much damage can happen to air, water, and land—and what it takes to turn things around. In this blog, I’ll dig into how bad things have gotten, why it’s happening, what it means for us, and, most importantly, what each of us can actually do about it. A Succinct Overview of Environmental Degradation in India  India’s been wrestling with environmental problems for a long time now. Industrialization, cities growing fast, and a booming population—all of it has put a lot of pressure on the land, air, and water. Back in 1981, the government st...

πŸ’¨ Pollution: The Invisible Killer We Created

 πŸ’¨  Pollution: The Invisible Killer We Created Our world is struggling to breathe. The air is hazy, the rivers are murky, and the air is heavy. It's no longer a distant crisis — it's here and it's shaping our lives as we speak. Pollution is our silent killer, something we created with our own hands — and many of us aren't aware of the consequences of pollution until it's too late. This is not about dirty air or plastic waste. The conversation goes deeper than that. It's about our health, it's about the future of our communities, and it is about the future of our planet. It's time we examine this silent crisis — what the data shows us, what perceptions tell us, and what we can do to reverse this trend. πŸ’¨  Pollution Pollution describes the addition of damaging materials or forms of energy to the surrounding environment that creates harmful effects on organisms and nature. These materials, which can include chemicals, plastics, smoke, or noise, interfere ...
