The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed state governments to provide round-the-clock police protection to witnesses who face threats for deposing against those accused in heinous c rimes and ordered that the identity should be concealed only at the time of investigation and trial. The court’s order came as it approved the witness protection scheme framed by the Centre in consultation with the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and Bureau of Police Research and development (BPRD) and directed all states to implement it till Parliament comes out with a new legislation. Will this make any significant effect on witness who were determined from the start to stay hostile?

HMJ AK Sikri and HMJ S Abdul Nazeer pass the judgment to give effect to Witness Protection Scheme, 2018. Ushering of a new era?

We have cringed so much about terrorist attacks but looks like roads/potholes have killed more than those in India. The Honourable Supreme Court comes down on the lack of interest about road safety. Attaining the highest possible standards is a real far sight?

The WTO DSB has come up with it's observations in Japan v India, dispute concerning Safeguard duty imposed by India on steel imports for two-and-a-half years in the year 2016.
Japan went to the WTO in 2016 to complain about the safeguard - an emergency tariff that WTO members can use to shield their industries against the threat of a sudden and damaging surge in imports and the minium import price set by India. India set the duty at 20 percent in the first year i.e September 2015, tapering to 10 percent in the final six months.
“The panel’s ruling underlines that safeguard duties should not be easily imposed unless they are consistent with the WTO rules,” Keiji Hattori, director at trade policy bureau at Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said.
The WTO panel in the month of November 2018, said that the use of safeguards are subject to strict criteria, and India’s reasons did not reach the required standard, or show a rise in steel imports based on objective data.

The CBI Case highlights the layman's perception about the Central Investigating Agency. From an organisation sought for to being called a 'Caged Parrot', it has come a long way. The Act has been amended but only time shall tell what has changed since 1997 when the Honourable Supreme Court pronounced it's judgment in Vineet Narain.

Vineet Narain, time to revisit it? CBI and Executive interefrence, how far has it changed? CBI, a caged parrot being masqueraded as an independent agency? Stay tuned as the Hon'ble Supreme Court resumes hearing tomorrow.
