Donald Trump makes historic comeback, wins second term

Former U.S. President and Republican Donald Trump made a forceful comeback as he won a second term in office, defeating Vice-President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, to become the 47th President of the United States. Republicans took control of the Senate, increasing their tally to at least 52 of the chamber’s 100 seats.
That he had run a campaign of personal insults, misogynistic jibes, comments with racist overtones, committed felonies, instigated a mob which went on to attack the Capitol, and threatened allies abroad, was not enough to keep the majority of Americans from electing Mr. Trump their leader, again.
At the end of the day, the data suggest that voters wanted a break with current circumstances, driven primarily by their concerns around inflation and the economy, as well as illegal migration

LMV licence holders can drive transport vehicles weighing less than 7,500 kg: SC

A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud held in a judgment on Wednesday that a person holding a driving licence for a light motor vehicle (LMV) is also entitled to drive a transport vehicle with unladen weight not exceeding 7,500 kg.
The judgment, authored by Justice Hrishikesh Roy, brought relief to lakhs of commercial drivers and spelt a blow to insurance firms denying accident claims on the ground that these drivers were not authorised to drive transport vehicles.
“A driver holding a licence for Light Motor Vehicle class for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight under 7,500 kg, is permitted to operate a ‘transport vehicle’ without needing additional authorisation under Section 10(2)(e) of the Motor Vehicle (MV) Act specifically for the ‘transport vehicle’ class,” Justice Roy held.

‘Can’t act overnight’: SC pulls up U.P. govt. for ‘illegal’ demolition

The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up the Uttar Pradesh government for an “illegal” demolition in 2019 while issuing directions to all States and Union Territories on the procedure to be followed during road widening and removal of encroachments.
A Bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra also directed the U.P. government to pay ₹25 lakh compensation to a man whose house was razed in 2019 for a road widening project.
“You can’t come with bulldozers and demolish the constructions overnight. You don’t give the family time to vacate. What about the household articles inside the house?” the Bench asked the counsel representing the Uttar Pradesh government.

Donald Trump sweeps the battleground States

Donald Trump won not just the electoral college but also the popular vote by sweeping the ‘swing States’ that were expected to feature a close contest between him and Kamala Harris.
While the margins of victory for Mr. Trump were the lowest in the seven swing States — Wisconsin (about 1% point), Michigan (1.6 points), Georgia (2 points), Pennsylvania (2 points), North Carolina (3 points), Nevada (5 points), and Arizona (5 points) — the fact that he won all of them shows the frailty of Ms. Harris’ campaign and the Democratic Party’s inability to secure enough votes in these regions. These numbers were as of 9:00 p.m. IST on Wednesday.
