New <keyword id="66" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi">Delhi</keyword>, Sep 22 () The Delhi government on Tuesday said it will challenge the high court's order staying reservation of 80 per cent ICU beds for COVID-19 patients in 33 private hospitals. A Delhi government functionary said it is extremely important to reserve ICU beds in private hospitals to deal with the rising coronavirus cases in the national capital. He said the AAP dispensation will challenge the high court order on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, <keyword id="1204125" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Delhi-High-Court">the Delhi High Court</keyword> stayed the AAP government's decision to reserve 80 per cent ICU beds for coronavirus patients in 33 private hospitals. The bench of Justice Navin Chawla said prima facie the Delhi government's September 13 order is "arbitrary, unreasonable and violative of fundamental rights of citizens" guaranteed under the Constitution. The court issued notices and sought responses of the Delhi government and the Centre on a plea by 'Association of Healthcare Providers' to quash the order to reserve 80 per cent ICU beds for COVID-19 patients. The Delhi government, however, defended its decision in the court, saying it is only for 33 hospitals and 20 per cent ICU beds remain for the non-COVID-19 serious patients and it has been done keeping in view the sudden spike in cases of the virus.

The content that was asked to be removed was targeted against the IVF practices of a Delhi-based female doctor. The ₹950,000 fine includes a punishment for wasting judicial time - ₹50,000 for each of the nine hearings that took place over the last 64 days. In June 2015, the trial court had directed YouTube and its patent, Google, to remove the content. For the past nine trials, YouTube had been asking for a time extension to comply with the decision of the high court. However, after the ninth trial, it said that it can’t comply at all, because of “technological reasons”. YouTube argued that though it could not remove the content permanently, it could ensure that nobody had access to it and that would also, in extension, mean complying with the high court’s decision. However, the court refused to accept these two actions as equivalents of one another. The Google-owned platform then decided to withdraw its appeal from the high court and challenge the trial court decree. The court allowed YouTube to do so on two conditions - one, the company would not raise any arguments that have already been addressed in this court and two, it will pay the fine mentioned by the court for the doctor. Rupees 100,000 also needs to be paid to the High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre as a repayment of costs incurred during the trials. Even though YouTube pleaded its case stating ‘technical reasons’ and their helplessness in the matter, the bench did not make any allowances and refused to believe that content on a platform could govern its entire functioning.

It’s good news for <keyword id="6354720" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola">Ola</keyword> riders. App only taxi operator Ola has won a legal reprieve to operate in New Delhi. Rival <keyword id="1042120" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uber">Uber</keyword> too has filed a similar suit to challenge the <keyword id="6354952" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-Government">Delhi government</keyword>’s ban in the city. 
	 
	According to an ET report, the transport authorities in the national capital had started penalizing cabs that were operating under Ola and Uber after the Delhi government issued ban orders imposed in December. The ban was issued after a 25 year old woman accused Uber driver of rape. 
	 It should be noted that the <keyword id="6355014" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-High-Court">Delhi High Court</keyword> asserted that the government's ban was not valid and could not be the sole basis to reject the taxi operators’ application to operate its taxis in the city. 
	 
	The court also directed the transport authorities to provide Ola with all details required for a licence within 10 days. Uber too has followed suit.

rejects ban on taxi operator, Uber to follow suit

Upholding the Central Information Commission’s (<keyword id="6378909" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="CIC">CIC</keyword>) order, the <keyword id="6355014" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-High-Court">Delhi High Court</keyword> has dismissed a writ petition by <keyword id="6362997" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="DLF">DLF</keyword>’s subsidiary Edward Keventors Successors. The company had challenged CIC in which the commission had directed the company to disclose the details of a land in South block in Delhi that allegedly raises security threats to the Rashtrapati Bhawan. 
	 
	“In view of the aforesaid, the contention that the petitioner had not been granted an opportunity of hearing cannot be sustained. An opportunity of making oral submissions was granted to the petitioner in view of the unequivocal language of the notice issued on February 28, 2013, however the petitioner rested content by sending a response dated March 10, 2013. Thus, the provision of Section 19(4) of the RTI Act was duly complied with,” the court said in its order. 
	 
	The court further added, “I am also unable to accept the contention that the petitioner was prejudiced in any manner on account of non disclosure of the application preferred by respondent no.3. The petitioner was informed of that respondent number three had sought information relating to the property ‐Block‐ 48, Diplomatic Enclave, Sardar Patel Marg, New Delhi...Thus, the petitioner was aware of the information that was sought. It is clarified that no information relating to the petitioner other than that relating to the property in question is to be disclosed.” 
	 
	The court observed that since the commission had followed the law, hence, it was not necessary to review the ‘merits of the decision’ taken by CIC. The commission had given its final order on December 3, 2013 following a RTI application filed by activist Subhash Chandra Agarwal which had sought information on the said land. 
	 
	It should be noted that objections were raised against DLF’s subsidiary’s plans of constructing high-rise luxury apartments on that land as any private building close to the President’s house posed serious threats to the country’s sovereignty. 
	 
	“It is noteworthy that Subramanian Swamy in his letters addressed to President of India alleged involvement of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra in the dubious land-deal highlighted in the RTI queries, said to have been the biggest ever land-scam in the country,” said Agarwal. 
	 
	“With petition of DLF subsidiary (Edward Keventors Successors) now dismissed, Union Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and any other concerned government-agency should review decision of allowing land-use change in earlier UPA-regime in the controversial matter where even intelligence-authorities and President Secretariat are learnt to have raised objections from security-aspect with land-project being in close vicinity of Rashtrapati Bhawan,” he added.

The juvenile convict in the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Nirbhaya+rape">Nirbhaya rape</a> and murder case may walk free on December 20. That might not happen only if the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Delhi+High+Court">Delhi High Court</a> intervenes in support of the Centre's concerns about his ‘mental condition’. 
 
On Monday, the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Delhi+government">Delhi government</a>'s department of women and child development (WCD) unveiled a rehabilitation plan for the juvenile. This includes a one-time financial grant of Rs 10,000 and a sewing machine so that he can rent a tailoring shop. 
 
"The juvenile in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Nirbhaya+rape">Nirbhaya</a> case needs to be supported financially jointly by his parents and by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Delhi+government">Delhi government</a>," the WCD department said in a report. 
 
The WCD department said, one day before the youth's release, his parents and close relatives should be brought to Delhi at the government's expense and accompanied by WCD officials, "in a safe and secure manner, preferably in a private taxi". 
 
The report says officials can then accompany him to his home state "in a private taxi other than the one in which they were brought to Delhi, in absolute confidentiality".

It’s one of the most popular apps in the world with over a billion users and the same features benefit ordinary users can also be used by criminals or terrorists to plan their activities, according the <a href="https://barandbench.com/delhi-hc-google-restrained-indian-map/">public interest litigation</a> filed by Kisalya Shukla, an advocate. The PIL states that India’s defence bases and other critical information is available through Google Earth services — the mapping mechanism behind Google Maps — in ‘violation of India’s sovereignty’. The two judge bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar have asked the central government to look into the issue and decide whether or not Google should be allowed to continue posting maps on India online. Google accuracy could be its undoing Google Earth services, that powers Google’s mapping applications, is an open source image data source — that means anyone can use it and it’s free. The company collects data through road sensors, transport departments and even user contributions through Map Maker in addition to the satellite images it has already collected.

He added that the current laws in the country, and abroad, aren’t sufficient for restricting how these detailed maps are used which make them a security hazard. ‘As an alternative, the PIL filed by Shukla also requested that the Indian government launch India’s indigeous navigation system, <a href="https://www.isro.gov.in/irnss-programme">NavIC</a>, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) available to the general public.

Is Google Maps a ‘security threat’ to India's sovereignty, Delhi High Court asks government

The Delhi High Court will today hear the appeal of <keyword id="1042120" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Uber">Uber</keyword> and <keyword id="6362049" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola-Cabs">Ola Cabs</keyword> against the ban imposed on them by Delhi’s <keyword id="62110" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="transport-department">Transport Department</keyword>. On January 1, the Transport Department had refused to lift the ban, saying “there are no grounds to review the ban imposed.” 
 
The Delhi government had banned all web-based taxi operators in December last year after a taxi driver working with Uber allegedly raped a woman. Uber and Ola had approached the Delhi High Court requesting quashing of the ban orders. 
 
The Transport Department had said in its order: "They (web-based taxi operators) provide a simple taxi service by transporting people from one point to another through a vehicle driven by a driver for a fee, which is collected by the petitioner company directly from the passenger. Being a taxi service provider they are required to follow the law of the land and by using an AITP (All India Tourist Permit) taxi for local point to point drop, as in the present case, the petitioner has violated the prevailing law of the land and as it was not registered, which again was a violation.”
