Ajay Kumar Sood has been tasked with resolving the contentious issue of rolling out 5G services in and around airports amid aircraft and passenger safety concerns. Senior officials aware of the move told ET that a wider panel has been formed «to work on the 5G matter» as no consensus was reached around timelines for replacing obsolete aircraft radio altimeters-a key device that provides vital altitude information to flight crews and on-board aircraft systems during landings in low visibility conditions. While the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) have been holding discussions with telcos, airline operators and aircraft manufacturers, the issue has been in limbo for more than a year. In November 2022, the DoT had asked all mobile operators not to install any 5G sites in the 3,300-3,670 MHz band within 2.1 km of both ends of the runway at all airports in India, to avoid potential interference with aircraft radio frequencies. But it was only meant to be a temporary measure till altimeters of aircraft were replaced.

Think you check all the immigration boxes? Find out “International students are vital to Canada and enrich our communities. As such, we have an obligation to ensure that they have access to the resources they need for an enriching academic experience. In Canada, today, this isn’t always the case. Today, we are announcing additional measures to protect a system that has become so lucrative that it has opened a path for its abuse. Enough is enough. Through the decisive measures announced today, we are striking the right balance for Canada and ensuring the integrity of our immigration system while setting students up for the success they hope for,” Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, said. IRCC is set to implement caps for each province and territory, with these limits being proportionate to the respective populations. This strategic move aims to address the substantial growth of the international student population in provinces where the surge has been deemed unsustainable. These caps will not affect existing study permit holders or those seeking permit renewals. Masters and doctoral degree pursuits are also exempt from these limitations.

Delhi High Court on Monday quashed a Central Information Commission’s order (CIC) that asked the income tax authorities to furnish information and copies of documents submitted by the PM Cares Fund while applying for income tax exemptions. While allowing the income tax department’s appeal, Justice Subramonium Prasad ruled that CIC does not have the jurisdiction to direct furnishing of information provided for in Section 138 of the Income Tax Act and Section 138 (2) of the Income Tax Act prevails over Section 22 of the Right to Information Act (RTI Act). «In the present case, the question which arose was whether Section 138(2) of the IT Act which also contains a non-obstante clause would override Section 22 of the RTI Act or not. In view of the fact that Section 138(1)(b) of the IT Act mandates that information relating to an assessee can only be supplied subject to the satisfaction of Principal Chief Commissioner or Chief Commissioner or Principal Commissioner or Commissioner, as the case may be, it can be said that Section 138(2) of the IT Act would prevail over Section 22 of the RTI Act,» the Court held. Even if the CIC had the jurisdiction to direct the department to provide the information, the Commission's failure to give PM CARES notice of hearing would in itself have vitiated the order, the HC said. Mumbai-based activist Girish Mittal had sought details regarding the tax exemption granted to the PM Cares Fund in May 2020.
