This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 5th of November and here are the headlines In a landmark decision, a 9-judge bench of the Supreme Court ruled that not all private property can be considered a "material resource of the community" under Article 39(b) for redistribution. Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud delivered the majority ruling, supported by six justices, while Justice BV Nagarathna agreed in a concurring opinion. Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia dissented. This ruling, which overturns decades of legal precedent, is a significant shift in the interpretation of property rights in India. Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V. Anitha, criticized by Jana Sena Party (JSP) leader Pawan Kalyan for rising crimes against women, responded by accepting the criticism constructively. Anitha, a two-time MLA, expressed that the feedback motivates her to improve and better meet public expectations. Despite the criticism, she emphasized her focus on addressing concerns seriously. Anitha, who is an ally of Kalyan’s party, added that she spoke to him over the phone and will continue to work towards improving the situation. Sharad Pawar, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief, hinted at retiring from active parliamentary politics, signaling his intention to pass the leadership baton to younger generations. Speaking about Maharashtra’s Baramati constituency, Pawar emphasized the importance of youth leadership for the next 30 years. While Pawar stated he would step back from electoral politics, he confirmed his continued involvement in public service. His message underscored his faith in his family’s legacy and the need for fresh leadership, urging support for Yugendra Pawar in the upcoming Assembly elections. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act, 2004, with one major exception. The court ruled that provisions allowing the Board to award higher degrees like Fazil and Kamil are unconstitutional, as they conflict with the University Grants Commission Act of 1956. A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, overturned an earlier Allahabad High Court ruling that had declared the Act unconstitutional, marking a significant judgment on madarsa education regulations.
