RA WCom: Legal update, 15th Feb. 2024
Dear Community,
Yesterday, 15th of February, there were two hearings in the Madras High Court. One was on the 2 sets of new regulations recently published by the Secretary, Auroville Foundation, in the Gazette of India, and the other was about the appeals to the August 12, 2022, judgement relating to TDC and WCom.
The lawyers of both parties have now given final written submissions to the High Court for the TDC appeals. After short discussions on other matters related to the WCom appeal, all cases were finally adjourned to next Friday, 23rd February, due to the absence one more time of the Additional Solicitor General (ASG, appearing for the Secretary) as he was held up with a specially posted matter. (Requests were made on his behalf to adjourn other cases for the same reason.) Vaibhav, the second advocate appearing for the Secretary, requested a 'long' date but the chief did not agree and has posted the case on the 23rd of February as a final chance for the ASG to appear.
Also heard today in the High Court was a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Vikram Ram in 2019. The respondents in this case are the Chairman of the Auroville Foundation and the Ministry of Education (MoE). Although we are not involved in this case, we will share updates if more information becomes available, since it concerns Auroville.
With hope and faith,
