| The Supreme Court yesterday outlined a three-tier approach to the question whether privacy is a fundamental right. A nine-judge bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar said privacy could be configured into three zones. Justice D Y Chandrachud said, ” The first zone could be the most intimate zone of privacy concerning marriage, sexuality and the law should frown upon any intrusion unless in extraordinary circumstances. The second zone would be the private zone…..The third is the public zone where privacy protection requires minimal regulation.” |

| The Supreme Court yesterday directed the companies indulged in illegal mining in Odisha to pay a compensation of Rs 17,576 crore. A apex court ruled that the companies would be liable to pay back 100 percent of the price of mineral extracted by them in violation of law. The court accepted the figure of Rs 17,576 crore given by the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) as the total value of minerals produced without environmental clearance. The court added the companies could restart mining only after paying the compensation before Dec 31. |
| Over the past two years, India’s coal use has increased by an average of just 2.2%, a sharp fall from 6% in the previous 10 years. The findings, published by Greenpeace’s Energy desk yesterday, are significant because India is the world’s third largest CO2 emitter after China and the US. This gradual decline in overall use of coal will definitely help India to achieve its goal under the Paris Agreement, in which the country has committed to produce 40% of its electricity from non-fossil sources by 2030. |
