Delhi High Court Dismisses Union of India’s Review in Sameer Wankhede Promotion Case Imposes ₹20,000 Cost, Strongly Deprecates Departmental Conduct
New Delhi, October 17, 2025:
In a major development, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has dismissed the Review Petition filed by the Union of India in the promotion matter of IRS officer Sameer Dnyandev Wankhede, upholding the earlier order of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Principal Bench, New Delhi.
The Court not only rejected the Review Petition but also imposed a cost of ₹20,000, directing that the same be deposited in the Delhi High Court Advocates’ Welfare Fund. The Bench further made strong observations against the conduct of the department, stating that a clear message must go to the authorities concerned that such practices in service matters cannot be countenanced.
Court’s Observations
The Hon’ble Court observed that the department’s repeated attempts to obstruct the promotion of the officer despite clear judicial directions reflect a disturbing trend that must be firmly discouraged. The Court deprecated the conduct of the department, remarking that such behaviour erodes administrative fairness and transparency.
It further affirmed that the CAT’s order directing consideration of Wankhede’s promotion in accordance with law stands unaltered.

Assam Belongs to the Assamese. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s bold declaration — “Assam is not anyone’s shelter; it belongs to the Assamese” — has reignited a decades-old national debate on illegal immigration. His revelation that over 30,000 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators have been identified and deported marks a firm step toward protecting Assam’s land, culture, and identity. For years, unchecked migration eroded local rights, jobs, and traditions, leaving many natives feeling alien in their own homeland. Sarma’s decisive action goes beyond politics; it is a cultural and civilizational safeguard. In an era where identity is often diluted in the name of inclusivity, Assam’s assertion of its heritage stands as a reminder — nations must protect their roots before extending their branches.

Surrender or State-Sanctioned Amnesia?When a Maoist commander accused in multiple killings smiles while surrendering, it’s not redemption—it’s insult. The state’s embrace of “mainstreaming” violent insurgents, offering corporate jobs and immunity, mocks the blood of slain officers and civilians. If terrorists deserve no pardon, why do Maoists? Rehabilitation without justice is not reform—it’s erasure. Bhupati’s crimes don’t vanish with a handshake and a Constitution in hand. What of the families who lost loved ones? What of the law? The surrender policy, cloaked in strategic jargon, risks legitimizing violence and incentivizing rebellion. Worse, it blurs the line between justice and convenience. The public deserves transparency: What promises were made? What crimes forgiven? National security cannot be built on selective memory. If the state forgets its martyrs, it teaches future insurgents that violence pays—handsomely.

India’s households collectively hold over 25,000 tonnes of gold, making them the world’s largest private holders of the precious metal. As global gold prices surge past record highs, this treasure glitters both as wealth and as an economic paradox. Rising prices increase household net worth, especially for rural families that rely on gold as savings. However, it also deepens India’s import burden, widening the current account deficit since most gold is sourced from abroad. While investors cheer and jewellers profit, the government faces fiscal pressure due to rising import bills. In short, high gold prices are a double-edged sword for India — enriching families privately, but straining the national economy publicly.

The sudden resignation of all 16 ministers in Gujarat under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel strongly echoes the BJP’s modern-day “Kamaraj Plan.” The move signals a strategic reset — not a crisis. Just as Kamaraj in the 1960s urged Congress ministers to resign for organizational renewal, the BJP appears to be refreshing its state leadership two years ahead of elections. This calculated shake-up allows the party to inject new energy, reward performance, and correct internal equations without destabilizing governance. By orchestrating the resignations collectively, the BJP maintains discipline and avoids dissent. Rather than a revolt, it’s a controlled reboot, reflecting the party’s long-term electoral planning and Narendra Modi–Amit Shah’s trademark political precision — change before fatigue sets in, ensuring continuity through renewal.

After the recent ceasefire in Gaza, the situation remains extremely fragile and complex. Many Palestinians are trying to return to their destroyed homes amid huge destruction and limited services. Tensions persist over the exchange of hostages and the return of bodies: Hamas accuses Israel of violating the truce by delaying returns, while Israel insists the deal must be honored. Humanitarian aid is trickling in through crossings like Rafah, but delivery is hampered by damaged infrastructure and logistical barriers. Meanwhile, Gaza faces a deep crisis: destroyed water and power systems, ruined homes, collapsed sanitation, and environmental degradation worsen health risks. The ceasefire offers a brief opening for relief and reconstruction, but unless deeper issues—security, governance, and trust—are addressed, peace may not last.
