The Hindu
He said the final hearing is coming in exactly two months
Paattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder S. Ramadoss on Thursday said some favourable observations have been made by the Supreme Court while hearing appeals challenging the Madras High Court order quashing the Tamil Nadu Government’s legislation providing 10.5% internal reservation to Vanniyars. He also expressed confidence in emerging victorious on the issue.
The State Government, PMK and Mr. Ramadoss have moved the apex court on the issue.
In a statement, he said the Supreme Court has said it would hear the case expeditiously and has also pointed out to the 105th Constitutional Amendment, which restored the power to identify socially and educationally backward classes to the States.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
