On the global horizon, Hindi is not just a language, but an integral conductor that connects the whole of India with intimacy and emotion. Let us all be resolved for the mutual use and promotion of Hindi. he Supreme Court is the custodian of the social justice system in the country. It ensures that benefits of reservation reach the marginalised sections like minorities, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. When it comes to its own house, the Su- preme Court has been found want- ing in giving a fair representation to diverse sections of society . And for that the collegium system of appointing judges to high courts and the apex court is to blame. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law has been informed by the Law Ministry that in the last five years (2018 to 2022) 79 percent of judges appointed to high courts were from upper castes, making it clear that there has been an “inequitable representation of backward and minority communities”. Out of the 537 appointments made between 2018 and 2022, 424 were from the general category, 57 (11 percent) were from Other Backward Classes (OBCs), only 15 (2.8 percent) were from Scheduled Castes. The count of those from Scheduled Tribes was in single digit — 7 (1.3%). These numbers leave the collegium open to the charge of dis- crimination against castes, espe- cially OBCs who form 35 percent of India’s population and weaken its position in the ongoing tussle with the law ministry . If the collegium does not rectify this caste imbal- ance in judicial appointments it will lose credibility. Kiren Rijiju, the Union Law Minister, reportedly stated last year that “the Gov- ernment remains committed to social diversity in the appointment of judges in the Higher Judiciary’’. That, in a way, questions the collegium’s commitment and fairness towards diversity . T The Supreme Court is the custodian of the social justice system in the country. It ensures that benefits of reservation reach the marginalised sections like minorities, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes fter facing turbulent weather for decades as far as economic issues are concerned, it seemed Air India was set for good times in all aspects. Once the ‘national carrier’,AirIndia,wasindeep redthankstotherecession, the pandemic and for several other issues… finally ithadtheTatastotheirres- cue and one look at the economic status just prior to that would give you how dismal the picture was… Air India had reported a net loss of Rs 5,422.6 crore during the first half of financial year 2021-22 as against a loss of Rs 3,779.26 crore in the year- ago period. The airline’s total revenue, however, grew to Rs 5,524.23 crore during April-September 2021 from Rs 4,578.49 crore during the year-ago period, as per an exchange filing. Total expenses of the then national carrier stood at Rs 10,946.83 crore during the period under review as compared with Rs 8,357.75 crore during April-September 2020. On August 31, 2021, the airline’s total debt was pegged at Rs 61,562 crore. Air India also had about Rs 15,000 crore excess lia- bilities towards (unpaid) fuel bills and other opera- tional creditors. Tatas took over the airline in probably the most turbulent times ever. Even after its merger with In- dian Airlines in 2007-08, the airline, it may be recalled, could not make a profit and on the contrary, it reported a loss of Rs 7,017 crore in the financial year 2021. Already saddled with Himalayan problems, the airlinecouldn’tevendream in its nightmare for more! In fact, soon after the Peegateshamethatrocked the nation, the Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had slapped another notice on Air India for two incidents onboard its December 6 flight AI- 142 from Paris to Delhi wherein a passenger had smoked inside the lavatory and another peed over a woman’s blanket! A show cause notice has been served to the airline for not reporting the incident until January 5, 2023. Response of Air In- dia has been lackadaisical and delayed, said DGCA. Air India’s handling of an incident in which an inebriated male flier allegedly urinated on a woman co-passenger clearly re- veals the urgent need for rules which would be stricter to handle with unruly passengers. Cases of “inappropriate” conduct on flights by passengers have gone up… and probably many don’t get reported… who knows that is because of several hassles the airline has to go through which can also hurt its commercial prospects. NEEDS TO BE SEEN HOW AIRLINE TAKES OFF FROM THIS DRENCH PEEGATE ROW A In fact, soon after the Peegate shame that rocked the nation, the Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had slapped another notice on Air India for two incidents onboard its December 6 flight AI-142 from Paris to Delhi wherein a passenger had smoked inside the lavatory and another peed over a woman’s blanket! PERSPECTIVE JAIPUR | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2023 04 www.firstindia.co.in I https://firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia ROBIN ROY The writer is Senior Journalist and former Managing Editor, First India BUT WHY THIS SILENCE...? A irlines are often afraid of bad press in reports of unruly behaviour that makes it to the national head- lines. The crew and pilots may also fear that there could be counter complaints from passengers, So, despite the fact that theDGCAhadreleasedthe guidelines to deal with unruly passengers six years ago, only a handful of cases have been reported. The DGCA framed the rules in 2017 after the then Shiv Sena MP, Ravindra Gaikwad, assaulted an Air India staff member. Under these rules, unruly behaviour by a passenger onboard (a flight) is a punishable offence. In fact, lodging an FIR in all cases of unruly behaviour by passengers onboard flights should be made compulsory under CAR, 2017. The guidelines say that all airlines need to have a manual on how to deal with unruly passengers, clarifying the role of the ground staff, crew members, airline airport man- ager, airline central opera- tion control and so on. The guidelines say, unruly behaviour of passengers could be the result of “unsatisfactory service/ condition or effect of a se- ries of such events that build up”. Crew members need to identify early signs and deal with such passengers rather than al- low situations to escalate. What constitutes an offence needs to be clearly displayed to the passenger at prominent locations in the airport terminal building. The DGCA framed the rules in 2017 after the then Shiv Sena MP, Ravindra Gaikwad, assaulted an Air India staff member. Under these rules, unruly behaviour by a passenger onboard (a flight) is a punishable offence CATEGORICALLY, SPEAKING! AIRLINES MUST HAVE PROBE PANEL News agency ANI quoted a senior DGCA official as saying that the governing body has recommended restraining devices in aircraft cabins that will be used to restrain unruly passengers. As per report, a “level 3 violation” involving abusive and physically violent passengers will warrant use of this restraining device that resembles a handcuff. Interestingly, some airlines in India like Air Asia already keep the restraining device in the aircraft cabin for cabin crew to utilise in case passengers become physically violent. DGCA also said that the restraining devices should be applied only when all conciliatory approaches have been exhausted. Also CAR warrants that cabin crew inform the passenger of reper- cussions and consequences of such unruly behaviour. How these incidents will hurt the reputation of AI, only time will say, but meanwhile, airline needs to see that no further incidents should punch a hole. Every airline requires to have an internal panel for probing incidents of allegedly unruly behaviour by passengers. The panel must comprise a retired district and sessions judge, a representative of another airline and a representative from a passengers’ or a consumers’ association to decide which level the offence falls in. NOW WHAT THE DGCA GUIDELINES CATEGORISE WHAT MAKES FOR “UNRULY BEHAVIOUR” IN 3 LEVELS This refers to disruptive behaviour by physical gestures, verbal harassment and unruly inebriation, in which case the airline can bar the passenger from flying for up to three months. This includes cases of physically-abusive behaviour such as pushing, kicking, hitting, inappropriate touching and so on, in which case the concerned passenger can be put on the no-fly list for up to six months. This applies for life- threatening behaviour such as murderous attempts, damage to the aircraft’s operating systems and so on. In case of a Level 3 offence, the airline can bar a passenger from flying for a minimum period of two years or more without limit. LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 IS COLLEGIUM BIASED TOWARDS CASTES?

That is, in total, the government has less than three months because the code of conduct comes into force with the announcement of elections. Despite this, new ministers have to be made for these three months. It is being told that the party high command has given permission to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to expand the cabinet. It is also being told that the names to be included in the cabinet have also been agreed upon. According to informed sources in the BJP, such politically strong faces are being included in the expan- sion, who are still angry and can harm in the elections. First up is the name of BY Vijayendra, son of former Chief Minis- ter and BJP Parliamen- tary Board member BS Yeddyurappa. Ever since Yeddyurappa had stepped down, it was being said that Vijayendra would become a minister. But he neither got a seat in the Legislative Council nor was made a minister. Even though he is not an MLA, there is no problem in making him a minister because now elections are to be held within six months and he is going to contest from his father’s Shikaripura seat.

He wakes up at night and sees Babaji has come. He is a weak hearted man. I am afraid that sometime I may come in front of him and his heart will fail then I should not be blamed,” he said. On the tussle with DSP, he alleged that the DSP is a middleman and extorts money . “He is a blot on Raj police. The record of such an officer should be examined,” he said.

If the MP does the same thing again after coming to Behror, he will be slapped and his face will be turned red. We only live within the ambit of the law. I challenge you to play a gimmick again, take the law in your hands and we will teach you a lesson,” said Yadav. Vehicles and livestock are being stolen daily in Alwar city. So many untoward incidents are happening because the government has given protection to the criminals. —Baba Balaknath, MP, Alwar Balaknath was fearing that the police will make him an accused in the case and therefore he mounted pressure on them.

JPC/004/2022-24 First India Bureau Jaipur: Senior IAS officer Prithvi Raj is ex- tremely worried these days. Ten days ago, the Rajasthan High Court pronounced a decision that has become a cause of consternation for him. In its decision, the High Court has refused to quash an FIR filed by Enforcement Directo- rate in a case related to money laundering. The HC has also ordered a stay on arrest of the in- fluential people, including Robert Vadra, con- nected with the case till January 19. A firm by the name of Sky Light Hospitality had filed an appeal in the court. The matter per- tains to the pur- chase of 275 bigha land in Bikaner. When this trans- action took place in the year 2010-12 , Prithvi Raj was the Collector of Bikaner and according to BJP’s senior leader Gulab Chand Kataria, there has been collu- sion of officials in this matter. In the matter, the said firm purchased the land for Rs 42 lakh and sold it off for Rs 2.81 crore, whereas, the land be- longedtotheArmy . It has been alleged that with the collu- sionof juniorandsenior officials associated with land management, the saidlandwaspurchased and sold off. When the matter came to light, a dozen FIRs were registered in Bikaner alleg- ing that the deal was illegal. Later ED and CBI also jumped into the matter and took over the investigation. In this connection, Prithvi Raj has been summoned by CBI and the officer has given his statements too. Due to the stay, the investigation has not progressed for the past four years, but now ten days ago, the High Court’s decision has stoked ‘fear’ in the official that the investigation may now knock at his door. Prith- vi Raj is currently serving as the Secretary, Medical and Health. Sometimes luck and chance play an impor- tant role in the career of politicians and bu- reaucrats and in this case, Prithvi Raj with an image of a hardworking, honest, and a result -oriented bureau- crat, has to face some worried moments. Troubled times for Prithvi Raj as Rajasthan High Court rakes up Bikaner land issue VADRA SKY LIGHT HOSPITALITY CASE MYRIAD ISSUES TO BE DELIBERATED UPON DURING CONFERENCE: OM BIRLA Yogesh Sharma Jaipur: Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, who is in Jaipur to chair the 83rd All India Presiding Officers’ Conference on January 11 12, 2023, presided over the Stand- ing Committee of AIPOC where detailed discussions were held regarding the agenda for the mega event.

Gehlot said, “Rural Olympics have been organised in the state, due to which the talent of the players has improved. On the other hand, OPS has also been implemented for the employees.” Gehlot thanked the people present in thousands for giving love and faith. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was on tour of Bauli in Sawai Mad- hopur on Tuesday during which he partici- pated in the Nirvana Mahotsav event of Jai Shivanand Maharaj organised at Bhedoli.

Par- sadi, Mamta, Murari, Jully, Vishvendra, Bhajanlal, Shakuntala, Subhash Garg, Zahida and Ramesh are ministers from East Ra- jasthan. Never would have anyone thought medical, PWD and Pan- chayati Raj departments would be given to those from Eastern Ra- jasthan.” The Chief Minister then said in a jovial mood, “Jatav has become so big that we have to ask for a road from him.” A c t u a l l y Gehlot’s s p e c i a l focus is on East- ern Ra- jasthan w h i c h is dominated by Gur- jars and Meenas. In such a situation, Gehlot wants to win more seats from this region. ”I am beloved of all castes. I am the sole MLA from my caste.” Meanwhile, Gehlot also attacked Union Minis- ter GS Shekhawat regarding ERCP and said, “The Jal Shakti minister from Rajasthan is useless as he couldn’t implement a scheme from Centre. The Union Min is befooling public, but public won’t get be- fooled, rather will wipe you o u t . E R C P has become a bell in Gajendra Shek- hawat’s neck.” “I am currently en- gaged in budget preparations. Chiranjeevi Yojana is treating people with insurance up to Rs 10 lakh. Public welfare schemes implemented in Raj are being discussed in entire nation. Raj has emerged as a model state in every field from electricity, water to education, health social security .

Yogesh Sharma Jaipur: As the demand for creating new districts has picked up pace, it is expected that Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot may announce the creation of new districts on January 26 or in the next budget. The demand for creation of three divisions and a dozen new districts is under consideration. Proposals have come to the Ram Lubhaya Com- mittee for making districts in 60 places. The committee will soon submit its report to the government. While Rajasthan is the largest state in the country in terms of area, the boundaries of districts like Barmer are more than many states and the population has also increased. Six places under seri- ous consideration are Balotra, Beawar, Kot- putli, Didwana and Neem Ka Thana. Kotputli MLA MoS Rajendra Yadav had even made up his mind to leave the post of minister, after meeting CM Gehlot. Congress MLA Madan Prajapat has taken a vow to remain barefoot until Balotra is made a district. From Sambhar to Jaipur, padyatras con- tinued for demand of district. Neem Ka Tha- na MLA Suresh Modi took out a padyatra from his constituency to Jaipur. Leaders and people of Beawar also took out a padyatra and travelled to Jaipur. Delegates have met CM with demand to make about 60 to 65 places as districts. Si- kar, Barmer Ban- swara can be given divisional status. At present Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer, Bikaner, Udaipur Bharatpur have this status due to geographical and administrative factors. Kamal Kant Om Prakash Jaipur: Nine new judges will soon be appointed in the Rajasthan High Court. Of these, three are from the advocate quota and six from the judicial officer quota.

It is worth mention- ing that in November 2022, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended the appointment of Anil Upman from Jaipur and Nupur Bhati from Jodhpur as HighCourtjudgesinthe advocate quota as the name of Ganesh Ram Meena had already been recommended from advocate quota. While the Collegiumhadapproved the names of Rajendra Prakash Soni, Ashok Kumar Jain, Yogendra KumarPurohit,Bhuvan Goyal, Praveer Bhatna- gar and Ashutosh Ku- mar from the judicial officer quota. Notably, as against the sanctioned strength of 50 posts in Rajasthan High Court, only 26 judges including Chief Justice are working and 24 posts of judges are ly- ing vacant. In such a situation, after the appointment of 9 new judges, the total number of judges including the CJ in the Rajasthan High Court will be 35.
