When a government demands parental permission for consenting adults to marry, it breaches several red lines. The proposal by the Gujarat government to mandate parental consent for the registration of marriages stands to institutionalise all these unacceptable intrusions. Dressed up as a shield against “love jihad”, the Bhupendra Patel government’s amendments to the Gujarat Registration of Marriages Act, 2006, also threaten to deepen communal fault lines. While the Gujarat government’s bid to constrict individual freedom and legitimise the politically contrived spectre of “love jihad” is outrageous, it is unfortunately not an aberration. In Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, laws purportedly targeting “forced conversions” have worked as dragnets around interfaith unions.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea of Subramanian Swamy challenging the Andhra Pradesh government's decision to appoint a one-member committee to review the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report on the Tirumala laddu controversy. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymala Bagchi was hearing Swamy's plea, which also assailed statements made by the Andhra Pradesh chief minister on the row. CJI Kant said, "Such an administrative enquiry cannot be called as overlapping with the criminal proceedings which led to the chargesheet and supplementary chargesheet." Let both processes continue strictly in accordance with the law," the court said. Swamy argued that the state government's move undermines the authority of the SIT, which was constituted earlier by the Supreme Court itself to probe irregularities surrounding the laddus distributed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

The US Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday, more than three days after the US Supreme Court declared the duties illegal. ADVERTISEMENTThe IEEPA tariff collection halt coincides with Trump's imposition of a new, 15% global tariff under a different legal authority to replace the ones struck down by the Supreme Court on Friday. "CBP will provide additional guidance to the trade community through CSMS messages as appropriate," the agency said. Reuters reported on Friday that the Supreme Court decision made more than $175 billion in US Treasury revenue generated by the IEEPA tariffs subject to potential refunds, based on an estimate by Penn-Wharton Budget Model economists. Their estimate from a ground-up forecasting model showed that IEEPA-based tariffs were generating more than $500 million per day in gross revenue.
