During a virtual interaction, she compared the Indian students' experience to her being in space in a spacecraft “where you don't get to go, see your family and friends and give them a real hug.”

CALT head Wang Xiaojun said the new rocket, a version of China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March-5, would further expand China's aerospace activities. The Long March-5B is about 53.7 meters long, with a core stage 5 meters in diameter and four boosters 3.35 meters in diameter.

The discovery was made by a group of astronomers led by the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy (UH IfA). The new plant was discovered after studying six years of data.

The experimental spaceship was launched without crew by China's new large carrier rocket Long March-5B from the Wenchang Space Launch Centre in Hainan on Tuesday.

Hello Lawyers... My mother did filed a civil suit for claim of ancestral property against my maternal grandfather in the year 2014 (SUIT FOR DECLARATION) only. But the Lawyer was not able to prove the case and the suit was dismissed for the reason that " Ancestral nature of the property is not proved". After that she didn't filed any revision or appeal. It's been 4 years. My Question is " Can My sister and I file the fresh suit again and start the fresh case from beginning , Will the previous case hurt this case? 2.If yes, then when should we file the case ( Very soon or we can demand our share at any time in our life?). What should we do? pl guide the right approach....

Hi Team, I am from Delhi. The issue is as subjected. My brothers got the NOC signed just after the death of my father (in 1981) and, claimed to transfer property to Mother’s name. Now, when our Mother died recently (Feb’2020), I got to know that they have transferred the property in their names (2 person) already. But, they have not informed me. Please suggest if I can claim my share.

The 11-member high-level BJP delegation led by general secretary Arun Singh also urged China to take measures to increase imports from India so that the $57.86 billion trade deficit could be brought down.

The development is likely to increase pressure on the government to adjourn the Parliament session, which the Opposition has been demanding.

Background:

Counterfeiting has emerged as one of the major problems globally. Counterfeit goods, including medicines, auto parts, electrical components, toys, food and beverages and many others, can be dangerous and can potentially harm or even kill consumers. The massive infiltration of counterfeit and pirated goods drains $1 trillion from the global economy and robs over 2.5 million jobs. The impact and consequences of counterfeiting are far-reaching. Not only does it infringe on intellectual property rights, the counterfeit goods also pose direct threat to consumer health and safety. That is why a countrywide cooperation as well as public and private sector collaboration to detect and decisively combat  counterfeiting activity has become the need of the hour. A truly integrated approach, involving key stakeholders such as global, national and local law enforcement bodies, NGOs, technology solution providers and corporations, can pave the way for the development and implementation of strategies to stop counterfeiting in its tracks.

Objective:

The objective of the conference is to bring together Government, industry and other stakeholders on common platform to discuss policy level issues and share the best practices and innovative ideas to curb the menace of counterfeiting, piracy and brand theft resulting in strengthening of IPR protection ecosystem in the country.

The secret to  success is focusing your energy, not in fighting the old, but building the new! 

Today, we are in the era of transitional change and  revolution in the legal field.

Chief Justice Bhosale of Telangana & AP High Court in a recent dialogue quoted that the "Indian judiciary is going to crumble under its own weight".

This is owed to the inefficiency of the process and the large population, which makes the  future of judicial dispute resolution hazy!

A survey of 1000 largest corporates of the US showed that 79% of them used  ADR for dispute resolution which shows the new global shift in the legal arena. 

Now, being a new field, it is loaded with question marks at every step. For efficiently building and growing with the 'new' what we need as young lawyers is  guidance. 

And so, LAWyersClubIndia in collaboration with Gaurav Goyal, MCIArb has requested Mr. RATAN K SINGH FCIArb for a webinar on  Career in  Arbitration'. 

Mr. Singh is a pioneer in the field of arbitration practice and has decades of experience, having argued many cases, chaired numerous matters as an  arbitrator and lectured students and  lawyers all over the world. 

Excited?
Join us for this magnificent hour at 4 on the 22nd.

Tag the aspiring Arbitrators and Practitioners in your network!

Over half of the world’s population is in self-confinement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. And though the lockdown has slowed the spread of the coronavirus, it has accelerated the progress of another insidious phenomenon: conspiracy theories.

Covid19 has hit hard on the public health and economic well-being of not only higher income but also higher-governance-capacity countries indicating the vulnerability of some of the wealthiest and most stable states to the fundamental interruptions instigated by an unexpected pandemic.
