Context: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held back-to-back meetings at the UN General Assembly to build support for India's bid for a non-permanent UN Security Council seat for 2028-29, even as India joined the 'Partnership for Multilateralism' (P4M) grouping. India faces a contest for the Asia-Pacific seat after Tajikistan also launched its candidature, unlike in previous elections where India ran unopposed.
Context: The Supreme Court ruled that any violation of Article 22(1) or 22(2) — the requirement to inform an arrested person of the grounds of arrest in writing and produce them before a magistrate within 24 hours — renders the arrest itself unconstitutional and void, not a mere procedural lapse. It further held that a re-arrest cannot be ordered by the same authority that committed the earlier violation, and must instead go through a magistrate with a superior officer's endorsement.
Context: A UP minister's claim that the state will soon be divided into four parts — reviving a 2011 Mayawati-era Assembly resolution proposing Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Awadh Pradesh and Paschim Pradesh — has put the constitutional process for state reorganisation back in focus. Political analysts note the idea suits neither the ruling BJP nor the principal opposition SP, since UP's size underpins their national political weight.
Context: Hearing petitions on drug price regulation, the Supreme Court expressed shock that an essential cancer drug carried a printed MRP of Rs 27,000 against a price-to-retailer of just Rs 2,700, calling the mark-up 'broad daylight dacoity' against patients. The Bench asked why authorities responsible for price control had stayed silent and posted further hearing for September 29, 2026.
Context: In his final address to the UN General Assembly as Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres called for reform of the Security Council, calling it unjust that Africa still has no permanent seat 80 years after the UN's founding. He warned that global governance institutions still reflect a 'bygone age' and urged a shift towards a rules-based 'networked multipolar' world rather than fragmentation into rival blocs.
Context: With over 1.204 billion active wireless mobile subscribers in India as of July 2026, the government flagged IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) tampering as a growing threat to telecom network security and digital sovereignty. Deliberately altering or removing a device's IMEI, or dealing in devices configured to do so, is illegal, and citizens can verify device identity through the Sanchar Saathi portal.
