What was Trump’s order?

This case was related to the executive order which Trump signed on the first day of his second term. The purpose of this order was to prevent giving American citizenship to those children whose parents are living in America illegally or are present on a temporary visa. The Supreme Court, while giving its verdict by a majority of 6-3, said that almost all children born on American soil will get the right to citizenship. Earlier, lower courts had also stayed Trump’s order.

What did Chief Justice John Roberts say?

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing the majority decision, said that American-born children whose parents are in the country illegally or temporarily are subject to American law and become citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The decision of the Supreme Court also said that an amendment to the Constitution may be required to change the system of citizenship by birth. Citing the 14th Amendment, the court said that with very limited exceptions, every person born in America is a citizen.

Justice Department statement

The US Justice Department said it would continue to pursue illegal “birth tourism” schemes. The department said that people trying to obtain automatic citizenship for children by misusing the law are a threat to national security and action will be taken against them. This order ending citizenship by birth was part of the Trump administration’s broader immigration crackdown. This was included in the major policies of Trump’s second term which reached the Supreme Court for the final decision.

Harish Rana, who was struggling between life and death for 13 years, has now got freedom. He passed away today on 24th March, whose story is now being prepared to be shown on the big screen. This is not just the story of one person, but of a family who learned to live with pain and hope every day. After the Supreme Court’s big decision on euthanasia, this matter came into discussion in the entire country. Now efforts are being made to convey this story to the people through films, which can force everyone to think.

Euthanasia permission granted after 13 years

It is being told that a writer from Mumbai has expressed his desire to make a film on the life of Harish Rana. For this he has also contacted Harish’s lawyer Manish Jain. In this story, not only the suffering of a patient but also the struggle of his family, the hard work of the lawyer and the process of justice will be shown. It was very difficult for the parents to see their son in the same condition for 13 years. When the court allowed euthanasia, this decision made everyone emotional. Also, the decision of organ donation makes this story even more special.

Major accident happened during engineering

Let us tell you, the story of Harish Rana starts from Platea, a small village in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. His father came to Delhi in 1989 for a better life. The family was living happily, but an accident during his engineering studies changed everything. Harish went into coma and could not recover. However, today he has got relief from 13 years of suffering. When there was no improvement even after many years of treatment and hope, the parents took the decision of euthanasia with a heavy heart. After a legal battle that lasted for about three years, approval was received from the Supreme Court. Now this story is going to come out in the form of a film, which will explain the meaning of life, pain and honorable farewell.

In a historic decision, the Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed 32-year-old Harish Rana to undergo passive euthanasia. While delivering this decision, a bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and KV Vishwanathan directed Delhi AIIMS on behalf of the Supreme Court to immediately admit Harish Rana and make necessary arrangements for the process of removing the life support system.

Who is Harish Rana?
Harish Rana is originally from Ghaziabad. In the year 2013, he was a student at Punjab University. During that time, he fell from the fourth floor of a paying guest hostel, due to which he suffered a serious brain injury. After the accident, doctors put him on life support and since then he is continuously in bed.

Was in vegetative state for 13 years
After the accident, Harish Rana went into permanent vegetative state. He was suffering from 100% disability and quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) for the last 13 years. He had to rely on a tracheostomy tube for breathing and a gastrojejunostomy tube for food. His daily care was completely dependent on machines and medical aid. According to the doctors’ report, there was no possibility of improvement in his condition.

Supreme Court said human dignity is paramount
The Supreme Court said in its decision that when a person’s life is being dragged out only with the help of artificial means and there is no hope of his recovery, then he has the right to choose death with dignity. The court said that in such a situation, maintaining life through life support system could be against the dignity of the person.

What is passive euthanasia?
In legal language, passive euthanasia means stopping or removing the medicines, treatments or life support systems being given to a patient to save his life, so that he can die naturally. This is different from active euthanasia, in which death is intentionally caused through an injection or medicine. Active euthanasia is still banned in India.

What did the court say?
The court said in its order that Harish Rana was once a 20-year-old promising student, but after falling from the fourth floor, he suffered serious brain injury and is in a persistent vegetative state. Medical reports did not indicate any improvement during the last 13 years. In such a situation, this decision was taken considering his condition.

In the Pune Porsche Case 2024 accident, the Supreme Court on Tuesday (March 10) granted bail to Vishal Aggarwal, father of the minor accused. Two people died in this accident. The court said that it has been alleged that he had taken the blame for his son’s murder upon himself to save his son, but on this basis alone the liberty of a person cannot be restricted for a long time.

The bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuiyan said during the hearing that Vishal Aggarwal has been in custody for the last 22 months. The court granted him bail with a condition that he will cooperate fully in the investigation during the trial and will neither influence any witness nor tamper with the evidence.

The court decided to grant bail to Aggarwal on the conditions set by the trial court.

The Supreme Court said during the hearing that in similar cases earlier too the court had given relief to other accused. Senior lawyers Mukul Rohatgi and Siddharth Dave, appearing for Vishal Aggarwal, told the court that other accused in this case have already got bail. In such a situation, it is not justice to punish a person before he is proven guilty.

In the case, the court decided to grant bail to Aggarwal on the conditions set by the trial court. The court made it clear that the accused will not try to contact any witness in any way and will cooperate fully in the proceedings of the case. The court also ordered the trial to be completed as soon as possible and said that if the bail conditions are violated, the Maharashtra government can apply for cancellation of the bail.

The state government and the victim’s family are protesting against this decision of the court.

However, the state government and the victim’s family have opposed the bail. Senior advocate Gopal Shankaranarayanan, appearing for the victim’s side, said in the court that Aggarwal resorted to unfair means to influence the investigation. While representing the Maharashtra government, another lawyer Siddharth Dharmadhikari claimed that money was given to get the blood samples changed.

Accused Vishal Aggarwal was arrested in the case on June 1, 2024. In which he was accused that while returning from a party late at night, his 17-year-old son had allegedly hit two bike riders while driving under the influence of alcohol, due to which he died on the spot. During the hearing, Agarwal’s lawyer Mukul Rohatgi also said that a driver was present with the car at that time, but sometimes children start driving themselves. He claimed that Aggarwal was not aware that his son had asked the driver to drive the car.

The 18 percent reciprocal tariff imposed by America on India may now become ineffective. Recently, the US Supreme Court has given an important decision, after which the new tariff system has come into effect. Now both the countries are working on a new interim trade agreement (BTA), which can be beneficial for both.

Earlier there was a 25 percent tariff on India, which was talked about reducing it to 18 percent. But the Supreme Court termed the tariff imposed under the IEEPA law as wrong. After this, President Donald Trump announced the implementation of a uniform global tariff of 15 percent. Now this is being considered as the new system.

Meaning of 15 percent + MFN

Now 15 percent tariff will be imposed on top of the already applicable ‘Most Favored Nation’ (MFN) rate. MFN is the rate which applies equally to all countries. If only 15 percent will be imposed on all countries, then there is no question of imposing 18 percent separately on India. This 15 percent tariff is currently applicable temporarily for 150 days. To continue this further, the approval of the US Parliament will be necessary.

Relief to which areas?

According to experts of Deloitte India, this decision will provide relief to gems, jewellery, textiles, some auto parts and engineering goods. However, 50% tariff on steel, aluminum and copper in the name of Section 232 national security will continue to be applicable as before.

direction of trade agreement

In February, both the countries had said that if there is a change in the tariff, the terms of the agreement can also be changed. Now considering the new situation, changes in the agreement are possible. Industry organizations say that a clear picture should emerge soon, because America is a big export market of India.

Other aspects of BTA remain intact

The interim bilateral trade agreement (BTA) included not only reciprocal tariffs but also penalty provisions related to Russia, quota-based concessions on Section 232 products and non-tariff barriers. The Supreme Court’s decision may render reciprocal tariffs ineffective, but other provisions will remain in effect.

What next?

Currently, 15 percent tariff is the new reality, but it is temporary. In the coming time, the talks will decide in which direction India-US trade relations will go.

US President Donald Trump has given a big statement regarding the trade agreement with India. He said that this agreement has completely changed compared to before and now India will give tariff to America, while America will not give any tariff to India. Trump said, ‘Nothing has changed. They will give tariffs and we will not give tariffs. Describing this as a contrary arrangement to the old structure, he said, ‘The deal with India is that they will pay the tariff. It was not like this earlier. We have overturned it.

According to PTI report, Trump also personally praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, ‘I think Prime Minister Modi is a wonderful gentleman and a great person, but he was much smarter than America. India was harming us. However, he also said that now the new arrangement is a fair deal.

Supreme Court rejects President’s interpretation on IEEPA

Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court has raised questions on the decision of the Trump administration, in which it was claimed that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) gives the President the right to impose tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts, citing an earlier decision, said that the President must show parliamentary approval to take extraordinary measures like tariffs. He said in clear words, ‘The President cannot do this.’ The court accepted that imposing unilateral tariffs under the guise of IEEPA could be interference in the jurisdiction of Congress and is a violation.

Challenge of states and businessmen

The decision came after legal challenges were filed by businesses affected by the tariffs and 12 states. Most of these states are ruled by the Democratic Party. He had accused the Trump administration that the President has imposed tariffs without the approval of Congress.

US President Donald Trump has expressed deep disappointment over the Supreme Court’s cancellation of his tariff orders. He said that the court did not give any clarity on the future of the huge amount collected through tariffs in the last one year. In response to the questions of reporters at the White House, Trump said, ‘We have collected hundreds of billions of dollars. So I ask, what will happen with that money? There was no discussion on this at all.’ He further said, “Don’t you think they could have written a line whether the money should be kept or returned? Now perhaps this issue will be stuck in litigation for the next two years. This is a bad decision, as if it was not written by sensible people.’

It was not made clear in the Supreme Court’s decision whether the amount recovered as tariff would be returned or not. It is estimated that an amount of more than $175 billion may come under the ambit of refund claims. US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant has said that if refunds have to be given after the decision, then the Treasury Department is ready for it, but the Supreme Court also admitted that this process can be complicated.

.@POTUS: “We’ve taken in hundreds of billions of dollars… and so, I say, ‘What happens to all of the money that we took in?’ It wasn’t discussed. Wouldn’t you think they would’ve put one sentence in there saying keep the money or don’t keep the money?” pic.twitter.com/BgG7nYuRyj

New 10 percent global tariff under section 122

Soon after the Supreme Court setback, Trump announced that he would sign a new executive order under Section 122 of the Federal Law, which would impose a global tariff of 10 percent. This will be in addition to the existing tariff. This step is being considered as the next phase of Trump’s aggressive trade policy. He said, ‘We may remain stuck in court for 5 years, but we will not back down.’

political reactions

While most Democrats welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision, Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, warned that consumers and small businesses have no clear legal system to get back the amounts of tariffs already paid. This decision is not only a blow to the trade policy of the Trump administration, but also has a significant impact on the balance between the powers of the executive and the legislature.

A boy living in a simple house in Jabalpur, whose world revolved between books, cricket and dreams. Watching TV in the evening, laughing with friends and dreaming of becoming a doctor, his life was completely normal. But when despite scoring 530 marks with hard work, he did not get a medical seat, his world came to a halt. It was easy to give up, but he did not do so. He decided that if the road was closed then he would make a new road himself. This decision took him to the biggest court of the country, where he presented his views not with humility but with confidence. His story is not just about an admission, but about the courage that does not break even in difficult circumstances.

Passed NEET, still didn’t get a seat

Atharva passed the NEET exam twice and scored 530 marks. His number was being made in the Economically Weaker Section i.e. EWS quota. The financial condition of the family was not very strong, so this quota was like a hope for them. But when the process of admission in private medical colleges started, it came to light that there were no clear rules made regarding EWS reservation in private colleges in the state. Despite having marks, he was not able to get a seat. Imagine, a student who has worked hard day and night and when the destination is in sight, finds the door closed, only the one who has dreamed can understand this pain.

Journey from High Court to Supreme Court

Atharva raised his voice instead of remaining silent. He reached Jabalpur High Court and presented his views. There it was jokingly said, “You should become a lawyer, not a doctor.” This touched his heart. But he did not give up. He decided that he would go to the last door to get his rights. His father is a lawyer at home. During the lockdown, when the courts were running online, Atharva saw his father arguing. He understood that concrete facts, not just emotions, work in the court. He himself started reading the law. He saw old decisions, understood the rules and got special permission in the Supreme Court. Prepared the petition, rectified the mistakes pointed out by the registry and finally filed the petition.

Ten minutes debate, decision of life

He joined online on the day of the hearing. As the court proceedings were about to end, he politely said, “Give me ten more minutes.” He was not a big lawyer, just a 12th pass student who wanted to become a doctor. The Supreme Court, using Article 142 of the Constitution of India, directed that provisional MBBS admission be given to eligible students of the EWS category. This decision was not just an order for Atharva, but was like reviving his dream.

Atharva’s father says that he never studied law, but understood every procedure. The mother took over the responsibilities of the house so that her son’s studies were not affected. The school teachers also encouraged him. His confidence in English and the habit of speaking clearly later became his strength in the court.
