ber of NITI Aayog and
head of Covid-19 Task
Force. Gehlot and Paul
discussed about the cur-
rent situation of the

is no need to panic. But
avoid going in crowded
places and use mask as

increasing Covid cases
in many countries in-

sphere of fear has been
created among the com-
mon people. Experts are
of opinion that due to
vaccination in Raj, peo-
ple have good immunity
but need to be careful.”
SC 4:1 MAJORITY VERDICT UPHOLDS NOTES
BAN PROCESS, 1 JUDGE DISSENTS
DeMo is valid!
Moni Sharma
New Delhi: A five-
judge Constitution
bench of the Supreme
Court on Monday up-
held the government’s
2016 decision to demon-
etise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000
currency notes, saying
the decision was about
executive policy and
cannot be reversed.
The court rejected the
58 petitions challenging
demonetisationandsaid
that the decision-mak-
ing process of the gov-
ernment was not flawed.
The judgment, authored
byJusticeBRGavai,was
agreed to by Justices S
Abdul Nazeer, AS Bo-
panna, and V Ramasu-
bramanian. Justice BV
Nagarathna faulted de-
monetisation in her dis-
senting judgment but
did not quash it.
Gavai said though
there was consultation
between Modi govt, RBI
for 6 months, indicating
a “reasonable nexus be-
tween the measures un-
dertaken and the object
sought to be achieved”
and, therefore, notes
ban notification passed
test or doctrine of “pro-
portionality”. More on P5
Top court rejects the 58 petitions
challenging the demonetisation
There was consultation between
Centre, RBI for 6 months: Bench
A five-judge Constitution bench of SC on Monday hearing petitions challenging govt’s 2016 decision to demonetise `500 and `1,000 notes.
CONSTITUTION BENCH OF THE
SUPREME COURT SAID...
‘UNLAWFUL’ MOVE: JUSTICE
NAGARATHNA IN HER VERDICT...
l The 52-day window provided for the
exchange of demonetised currency notes
with legal tenders is not unreasonable and
cannot be extended now.
l RBI does not have any independent
power to bring in demonetisation and
directed registry to place matter before
CJI for directions and to answer
other questions left open in
the judgment.
l Demonetisation
decision does not suf-
fer from any legal or
constitutional flaws.
Petitions can be
placed before an
appropriate bench
by CJI for deciding
issues linked to
main issue over
validity of notes ban.
l Observing that there was no independ-
ent application of mind by RBI, the entire
exercise was carried out in 24 hours and
was an exercise of power, contrary to law,
and therefore unlawful.
l The power of Centre
being vast has to be
exercised through a
plenary legislation
rather than by an ex-
ecutive act by issuance
of notification.
l It is necessary that Parliament, which
consists of the representatives of the
people of the country, discusses the matter
and thereafter, approves the matter.
l Proposal originated from Centre while
RBI’s opinion was sought and such an
opinion given by central bank cannot be
construed as a “recommendation” under
section 26(2) of RBI Act.
HISTORIC JUDGMENT IN THE NATIONAL
INTEREST, WILL RAHUL SAY SORRY: BJP
SC NOTE BAN VERDICT SLAP ON THE
WRIST FOR GOVERNMENT: CONGRESS
BJP hailed SC judgment upholding govt’s demonetisa-
tion exercise as “historic” and slammed Congress for
its campaign against decision and
asked if its leader Rahul Gandhi will
tender an apology after the verdict.
Ravi Shankar Prasad asserted
that demonetisation done in 2016
proved to to be “biggest blow” to
terrorism by curbing terror funding.
It boosted income tax and cleansed
economy, he claimed.
SC’s verdict on demonetisation deals only with decision-
making process, and it is “misleading” to say that the
court has upheld the notes ban,
Congress said. ‘The Supreme Court
has only pronounced on whether
Section 26(2) of RBI Act, 1934 was
correctly applied or not before an-
nouncing demonetisation on Nov 8
2016. Nothing more, nothing less,”
Jairam Ramesh head of Congress’s
communication wing said.

paid the price for being

lakhs of efforts by both
leaders, they could not

removed. Rohit Bohra of
Rajakheda overpowered
these two leaders. Now
Khiladi Bairwa is probably looking for
a new seat. However, despite being a
sitting MP, Khiladi’s ticket was cut in the
Lok Sabha elections. On the other hand, it
is challenging to keep the vote bank intact

PERSPECTIVE

CONSTITUTION PARK
EMBODIMENT OF CULTURE AND IDEALS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTITUTION
very responsible citizen should
keep an eye on how the govern-
ance is going on in a democracy
and how it should be run. I
agree, the Constitution makes it
possible. The work of giving jus-
tice, freedom and participation
in power to all the citizens of the
country is done through some-
one, then it is the Constitution
itself. The intention behind im-
plementing the Constitution in
the country on January 26, 1950
and adopting it has been that all
Indians get the ideal of a univer-
sal democratic republic.
Our Constitution related to
fraternity
, self-respect and unity
of the nation among the citizens
is not only a law to govern the
country
, but also a kind of man-
ifesto for economic and social
transformation of the country.
The faith of the Constitution is
in the ‘democratic system of
governance’. That’s why you see,
the power of the Constitution
lies directly with the people.
What ideals, aspirations the
Constitution reveals, it can be
understood clearly from the
words contained in the pream-
ble of the Constitution ‘We the
people of India’. It is not just the
words of the preamble of the
Constitution but it is the life
philosophy of our great Indian
culture. If the Constitution has
given us rights, it has also given
us duties. In my every public
function, I recite the fundamen-
tal duties along with the pream-
ble of the Constitution.
I do that so that all should be
alert to follow the basic duties
along with the rights. I firmly
believe that no democracy can
be called vibrant unless its citi-
zens are ready to actively par-
ticipate in governance and
shoulder responsibilities for the
best interest of the country
. Our
nation is one of the few coun-
tries in the world where the glo-
rious tradition of democracy
has existed since ancient times.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord
Shri Krishna says that one
should perform one’s duties
without expecting the fruits. In
this way
, what other book can be
bigger about performing one’s
duty than the saga of Lord Shri
Ram, the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead!
Mahatma Gandhi
always used to say
that the right
source of rights is
our duties and if we
perform our du-
ties prop-
erly then we will not need to ask
for rights. The Constitution bal-
ances the rights and duties of
the citizens. I believe that the
fundamental duties act as a
kind of cautionary for the citi-
zens of the country. It helps in
achieving national goals by pro-
moting a sense of discipline and
commitment towards the nation
as well as ensuring active par-
ticipation of the citizens. The
fundamental duties in the Con-
stitution were needed because
rights and duties are inter-
dependent.
There are some moral
duties in the Constitution
and some others are civic
duties. It is a moral ideal to
cherish the noble ideals of the
freedom struggle and it is the
civic duty of all of us to respect
the Constitution, the National
Flag and the National Anthem.
Fundamental Duties are a part
of Indian tradition, mythology,
religions and practices.
Nation is not a geography.
The Constitution is also not
just an idea or just a book.
This is an ideal and for
this we all need
to keep work-
ing continu-
ously. That’s
why after assuming the post of
Governor in Rajasthan, I started
working keeping constitutional
awareness as a priority. I initi-
ated the tradition of reciting the
preamble and basic duties of the
Constitution in the speech in the
State Legislative Assembly
, took
the initiative to build a Constitu-
tion Park in all funded universi-
ties of the state and the con-
struction of a Constitution Park
in the Raj Bhavan is the culmi-
nation of that.
Themainintentionbehindthe
construction of the Constitution
Park has been that people can
experience the tangible explana-
tion of the ideals related to our
Constitution like a movie. The
Governor is not a person but a
constitutional institution. Any-
onewhocomestotheRajBhavan,
special or common, can come
face to face with the high ideals
enshrined in the Constitution,
for this purpose the Indian Con-
stitution has been realised here
through sculptures, pictures, in-
stallations and other mediums.
By looking at the sculptures,
models and images displayed
here, it will be known how the
dream of constitutional democ-
racy
, socialism, secularism, free-
dom, equality
, fraternity
, good-
will, unity and integrity have
beenincludedintheConstitution
by the makers of the Constitu-
tion. Mahatma Gandhi had once
said that nation is an abstract
concept which is made concrete
bythecitizensof thenation.This
belief is created by the culture,
civilization, thinking tradition,
religion, worship, way of life etc.
of that group of people.
If we go in the light of this say-
ing of Gandhiji, then it will also
be known that our Constitution
was prepared keeping the ideals
of Indian culture at the centre.
Renowned artist Nandlal Bose
was called from Santiniketan
and paintings were made in all
the 22 parts of the Constitution
in the light of ancient Indian cul-
ture, tradition and geography
.
It is a matter of pride that Kir-
pal Singh Shekhawat, a re-
nowned artist of Rajasthan, has
also contributed in the making
of these paintings. The Consti-
tution Park, which has been pre-
pared in the Raj Bhavan, is im-
portant in the way that it is very
beautiful, saluting the journey
of Constitution making, Con-
stituent Assembly committees,
the picture of the Constituent
Assembly of 1950, the Constitu-
ent Assembly model and the
contribution of women in the
Constituent Assembly. Sculp-
tures have been displayed.
Here the names of the mem-
bers of the Constituent Assem-
bly are engraved, then historical
photographs related to the mak-
ing of the Constitution and the
statue of presenting the Consti-
tution book to the then Presi-
dent Dr Rajendra Prasad by Dr
BR Ambedkar. Apart from that,
images of public heroes associ-
ated with the Constitution and
democracy have been displayed.
This Constitution Park not
only shows the historical jour-
ney of the Constitution mak-
ing, but it is also a beautiful
euphemism of Indian art-cul-
ture and rule of law. When the
idea of this park came to my
mind, the first thing I discussed
was with our Chief Specialist
Govind Ram Jaiswal. He gave
very important suggestions af-
ter studying the culture related
to the Constitution. When the
Jaipur Development Authority
started work under the Smart
City Scheme of the Central
Government, Architect Anoop
Bartaria worked to bring alive
the concrete form of the Con-
stitution.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot
took full interest in it and it was
completed in less than a year
after its foundation stone was
laid on January 26, 2022. The
President of the world’s largest
democratic nation, Droupadi
Murmu will inaugurate it and
dedicate it to the state and the
nation. This is truly a historic
moment. I want that taking in-
spiration from the Constitution
as a reflection of our culture, all
the citizens should work while
being aware of their constitu-
tional rights as well as their
basic duties.

New Delhi (PTI): Cir-
culation of Fake Indian
Currency Notes (FICN)
in the country contin-
ues to pose a challenge
even after the 2016 de-
monetisation, whose
one of the key objec-
tives was to eradicate
counterfeiting of notes.
According to report
of the National Crime
ControlBureau(NCRB),
FICN with the face val-
ue of Rs 245.33 crore has
been seized by the law
enforcement agencies
across the country since
2016 -- the year the Cen-
tre demonetised Rs 1,000
and Rs 500 notes.
The highest amount
of FICN with the face
value of Rs 92.17 crore
was seized in 2020 while
the lowest with the face
value of Rs 15.92 crore
was seized in 2016.
In 2021, FICN of Rs
20.39crorefacevaluewas
seized in the country
, of
Rs 34.79 crore in 2019, Rs
26.35crorein2018andRs
55.71 crore in 2017, the
NCRB data showed.
According to the RBI
annual report, pub-
lished in May 2022, the
number of fake curren-
cy notes of 500 denomi-
nation detected by the
banking system more
than doubled to 79,669
pieces in 2021-22 fiscal
over the previous year.
The number of coun-
terfeit notes of 2,000 de-
nomination detected in
the system was 13,604
piecesduring2021-22,up
54.6 per cent from the
precedingfinancialyear.
After declining in
2020-21, the total num-
ber of FICN of all de-
nominations detected in
the banking sector in-
creased to 2,30,971 piec-
es from 2,08,625 pieces
in the previous fiscal.
During 2019-20, the
number of FICN stood
at 2,96,695 pieces.
‘’Compared to the
previous year, there
was an increase of 16.4
per cent, 16.5 per cent,
11.7 per cent, 101.9 per
cent and 54.6 per cent in
the counterfeit notes de-
tected in the denomina-
tions of Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs
200, Rs 500 (new design)
and Rs 2,000, respective-
ly,’’ said the RBI’s an-
nual report for 2021-22.
The counterfeit notes
detected in the denomi-
nations of Rs 50 and Rs
100 declined by 28.7 per
cent and 16.7 per cent,
respectively
.
During 2021-22, out of
thetotalFICNdetectedin
thebankingsector,6.9per
cent was detected at the
Reserve Bank and 93.1
per cent at other banks,
the RBI report said.
One of the major ob-
jectives of the 2016 de-
monetisationof thethen
prevailing Rs 500 and Rs
1,000 notes was to curb
circulation of fake cur-
rency notes. On Novem-
ber 8, 2016, Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi had
announced that Rs 500
and Rs 1,000 notes would
cease to be legal tender
in India from that mid-
night. Modi had said
that the decision had
been taken to ‘’fight cor-
ruption, black money
and terrorism’’. The Rs
2,000 notes and Rs 500
notes with a new design
had been introduced af-
ter demonetisation.

P CHIDAMBARAM ON
APEX COURT VERDICT
Chennai: Former Union
finance minister P Chidam-
baram on Monday said the
major-
ity verdict
by the
Supreme
Court has
steered
clear of the
question
whether the objectives of
the demonetisation exer-
cise were achieved at all.
“Once the Hon’ble Supreme
Court has declared the law,
we are obliged to accept it.
However, it is necessary to
point out that the majority
has not upheld the wisdom
of the decision; nor has the
majority concluded that
the stated objectives were
achieved,” Chidambaram
said in a tweet.
VERDICT CANNOT BE INTERPRETED AS
UPHOLDING DEMONETISATION, SAYS CPI(M)
New Delhi: The Left on Monday noted that the Supreme
Court has not endorsed the consequences of the Centre’s
decision on demonetisation, but merely upheld its right to
do so, and demanded a white paper on the exercise. The re-
action comes on a day the apex court, in a 4:1 majority ver-
dict, gave its stamp of approval to the government’s 2016
decision to demonetise Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 denomination
currency notes, saying the “decision-making process was
neither flawed nor hasty”. The CPI(M) said the dissenting
opinion of one of the judges maintained that the RBI must
recommend to the govt to initiate demonetisation.
WRONG TO SAY SC HAS UPHELD DEMONETISATION: CONGRESS
New Delhi: It is “misleading and wrong”
to say the Supreme Court has upheld
demonetisation, the Congress declared on
Monday, adding that the majority apex court
verdict on the matter deals with the limited
issue of the process of decision making not
with its outcomes. The verdict has nothing
to say on whether the stated objectives
of demonetisation were met or not, AICC
general secretary Jairam Ramesh said.
China doing same
to India as Russia
to Ukraine: Rahul
New Delhi (PTI): Con-
gress leader Rahul Gan-
dhi on Monday said Chi-
na is adopting the same
principle with India as
Russia is with Ukraine,
as it is threatening to al-
ter India’s boundaries.
He also claimed that
the Sino-Indian border
conflict has a link with
a weak economy, a con-
fused nation without
any vision, hatred, an-
ger and the Chinese sit-
ting in Indian territory
.
“Essentially
, what the
Russians have done in
Ukraine is that they
havesaidwedonotwant
Ukrainetohaveastrong
relationship with the
West and they have basi-
cally told the Ukraini-
ans that if you will have
a strong relationship
with the West, we will
alter your geography
.
“That is the same
principle that can be ap-
plied to India. What the
Chinese are saying
to us is that be
careful with what
you are doing,
because we will
alter your geog-
raphy
,” Gandhi
said.
CONGRESS’ PLENARY

New Delhi: The Congress
on Monday announced

Jhajjar (PTI): A ‘khap
panchayat’ here on
Monday threatened to
launch a big agitation if
Haryana minister
Sandeep Singh, who
has been booked for sex-
ually harassing a wom-
an coach, is not sacked.
Singh on Sunday
gave up his Sports port-
folio, saying he has tak-
en the step on moral
grounds, and claimed
that the charges against
him are baseless.
The former India
hockey captain said he
has handed over the
charge of the sports de-
partment to CM Khattar.

sentatives of khaps’ and
social organisations.
A khap representa-
tive said, the meeting

ment to ensure justice
for the coach at the ear-
liest and sack the minis-
ter. If the government
fails to do this, the
khaps will launch a “big
movement”, he said.
The meeting demand-
ed that Singh should be
sacked immediately as
he could “influence” the
investigations if he con-
tinues to be a minister.

over a 24-hour period on
January 1 owing to
thousands of tourists
and others who arrived

handles the passenger
terminal at Dabolim,
said the airport on Sun-
day beat its previous
record of 102 flights,
clocked on January 2
last year.
“On 1 January 2023,
Goa International Air-

als and 104 departures
with 13,147 arrival pas-
sengers and 17,335 de-

international flight, as
well as chartered
flights. The airport on
most days handles any-
where between 85 and
95 flights over a 24-hour
period.

BREAKING RECORD
Mumbai (ANI): The
family of Sheezan
Khan, the boyfriend of
popular television actor
Tunisha Sharma ar-
rested on the charge of
abetting her suspected
suicide, on Monday re-
futed the allegation’s of
the actor’s uncle that
she started wearing a
hijab (headscarf worn
by Muslim women)
from the time she met
Sheezan.
Her uncle’s remark
hinted at a love jihad an-
gle behind her death.
Addressing a press
conference on Monday,
Sheezan’s sister and co-
actor Shafaq Naaz said
the image of Tunisha in
a hijab, which is being
circulatedonline,isfrom
the shoot for a show.
“The picture of Tuni-
sha in a hijab being cir-
culated online is from
the set of a show she was
shooting for. It can be
clearly seen in the image
that it was from a set. We
never made her wear a
hijab,” Shafaq said.
Tunisha’s uncle,
Pawan Sharma,
claimed on December
28 that her behaviour
and lifestyle changed
after she met Sheezan
and that she even start-
ed wearing a ‘hijab’.
Earlier, Sheezan’s ad-
vocate Shailendra
MishraallegedthatTun-
isha’s uncle was also her
‘former manager’ and
was fired because of his
‘harsh behaviour’.
Sheezan’s advocate
alleged that Tunisha
was scared of another
‘uncle’ from Chandi-
garh, as he had insti-
gated her mother, Vani-
ta, to strangulate her.
“Tunisha used to pan-
ic a lot upon hearing the
name of Sanjeev Kaush-
al (another uncle). On
his instigation, Tuni-
sha’s mother broke her
phone and tried to
strangulate her. Sanjeev
Kaushal and Tunisha’s
mother used to control
her life,” Sheezan’s ad-
vocate alleged.

A PIL was filed in HC by

in taking a decision by
Assembly Speaker even
after 97 days having
passed to resignation of
Cong MLAs. Talking to
First India, Rathore
said, “They resigned
playing “kissa kursi
ka” in Raj. Now, fright-
ened by fear of losing,
they are doing gimmick
of taking back resigna-
tion letters in a hurry
which is a mockery of
Indian Constitution. In
Article 190 3 (b) of the
Constitution, there is a
provision for MLAs to
resign from seat but not
to take it back. It is un-
fortunate that the provi-
sions of Article 190- 3
(b) are also openly flout-
ed by Cong-MLAs.”
Yogesh Sharma
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: Prior to the up-
coming Assembly ses-
sion, it seems a political
game is afoot in the
State. This is the last
budget of the present
government, but the
‘Shadow Cabinet’ of the
Opposition party has
not come into existence.
Earlier whenever
BJP was in Opposition,
it always formed ‘Shad-
ow Cabinet’ and
through this, the Con-
gress government was
besieged and cornered
inside the House.
BJP’s subject expert
MLAs kept besieging
the ministers of the rul-
ing party
. But since last
few years, BJP Legisla-
ture Party has not been
able to do this. Perhaps
this could not happen
due to lack of mutual
unity
.
However,Congress
has always termed this
experiment of BJP as
unparliamentary
. When
Vasundhara Raje was
the Leader of the Oppo-
sition, a “shadow cabi-
net” was formed.
Even when Gulab-

z The New Year has
started and this time
around, you have in-
cluded some new pri-
orities in the state po-
lice’s list of priori-
ties. What are they?
See there will always be
a few aspects which will
always be our focus
area, like women and
children related issues,
which is there this year
too. How can we lower
the investigation time
taken in cases of crime
against women, miss-
ing children is also a
cause of concern and
how can we be better in
finding these children,
these are our priorities.
Similarly, organized
crimes and cyber
crimes are our priority
.
Along with this, how do
we bring to justice hard-
core criminals, that too
is our priority. Along
with this traffic acci-
dents are a menace
which cause a huge loss
to human life. So on na-
tional level as well as
state level, this is a ma-
jor challenge and thus
our onus is also on how
to avert accidents. That
does not only have po-
lice’s role but road engi-
neering, enforcement
of traffic laws, traffic
sense in people, so our
priority is also to focus
on these aspects and
bring about a decline in
traffic accidents.
z Missing children
has always been a
major issue and this
year it has been in-
cluded as the state
police’s priority?
Yes, because such cases
do not become headline,
but from a humane per-
spective if you see, if
someone’s child goes
missing for just one day
,
their mental and emo-
tional state, as a result
of the child going miss-
ing, can be understood.
So keeping the human
angle in perspective,
this issue is a major pri-
ority for us. Even the
media does not cover
such cases much and
they are not highlight-
ed, but I believe these
are important issues.
z You mention cyber
crime also. Now since
cyber crime police
stations are coming
up in every district,
there will be a de-
crease in such
crimes?
Only time will tell if
there will be a decline
in such cases or not. But
the main thing is that
we register such cases
and stay confident that
we can investigate
them. As of now, our
force lacks capabilities
as regards investiga-
tion of cyber crimes. So
training of staff that
will be posted in cyber
police stations is ex-
tremely important. So
we are trying to post of-
ficials that are adept in
handling cyber crime
cases and have confi-
dence that they can in-
vestigate cyber crimes.
As far as decline in such
cases is concerned, see
the way technology is
developing and expand-
ing and people are us-
ing facilities like net
banking through smart
phones, so when its us-
age increases in general
public, the crime also
increases proportion-
ally. It could be that a
decline is seen in cyber
crimes and it could also
be that for once the
crime incidents in-
crease, but if we are ca-
pable, then eventually
we will succeed in
bringing it down.
