Will capping trade margins on 137 #cancer drugs actually lower #medical bills? My recent story in @timesofindia examines the risk that #hospitals could offset lower #drug margins with higher charges for diagnostics, consumables or procedures. Lower drug prices don’t automatically mean cheaper cancer care. The move requires strict monitoring & implementation across all stakeholders.

@ashish_nujs Thanks, wonder how long before that reference is decided.

I thought only the Supreme Court had jurisdiction over these lawsuits where the state is challenging a central law?

But who are the worthies on this "working group"? Not a single name in this report.

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

The Working Group on Access to Medicines and Treatments has raised concerns over including Dr. Naresh Trehan, chairman and managing director of Medanta, in a committee constituted on the Supreme Court’s directions to examine the regulatory framework governing pharmaceutical marketing practices.

Except Article 131 requires all centre-state disputes to be heard by the Supreme Court. This provision dates back to the GoI Act, 1935. The cause title in this case is State of Maharashtra v. Union of India, and the dispute pertains to a union law.

[Deadly Law @DeadlyLaw]

All central laws are subject to Writ Jurisdiction of High Court and the Supreme Court. Merely because it's a Central Government enactment does not make it a Centre State dispute giving exclusive jurisdiction to the Supreme court.

Any High Court can strike down any law as unconstitutional and it will be considered struck down throughout the country, as held by Supreme Court in Kusum Ingots & Alloys Ltd. v. Union of India [(2004) 6 SCC 254.

Section 377 of IPC was first struck down by Delhi High Court. Section 309 IPC was struck by Bombay High Court.

Vide the 42nd Amendment, Article 226A was inserted in Constitution of India which ousted the Writ Jurisdiction of High Court over central Government Legislations, however, it was deleted by the 43rd Amendment.

@DeadlyLaw Except Article 131 requires all centre-state disputes to be heard by the Supreme Court. This provision dates back to the GoI Act, 1935. The cause title in this case is State of Maharashtra v. Union of India, indicating that it should have been filed under Art. 131.

Before the next elections, INC should announce that it will appoint Justice Muralidhar to head a Commission of Inquiry into judicial appointments and transfers during the Modi years.

It's amazing how they sold us the idea of Doval cultivating Dhurandhars from prisons to carry out prolonged cross-border espionage operations but the closest thing to that irl is probably Lawrence Bishnoi who has been terrorising the same industry that danced around Dhurandhar.

@SQMasood @AnjaliB_ @zoo_bear @dhanyarajendran @ravish_journo @apar1984 If possible please ask them who owns the copyright in the code. It will make it easier to argue the RTI case because they cannot play the commercial confidence angle if the govt. is the owner of the copyright. If they are not copyright onwers, more questions arise.

This is a false and irresponsible statement: "India has repeatedly been described as having a huge counterfeit drug problem, with estimates sometimes showing extraordinarily high levels." https://t.co/x4HBiAPyWM

The govt. needs to start publishing these S. 163 orders in the Delhi Police Gazette or better still in newspapers.

[disha verma @di_shawarma]

I’m almost certain @DelhiPolice is walking around with this poster in their pocket and “imposing” s.163 BNSS anywhere protestors begin to gather. And then they use it to detain us brutally.

At Bangla Sahib today, not a single policeman could show us the 163 order when asked.

How about some context on CTI, its membership and history? Do your job PTI, stop just reproducing press releases.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

STORY | CTI urges Rahul Gandhi to defer Nov 1 INDIA bloc rally, warns of Rs 10,000 crore trade loss

The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to postpone the INDIA bloc's November 1 rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan until after November 10, warning that it could disrupt business worth Rs 10,000 crore during the peak Diwali shopping season.

First they create fear, detain protestors, smash bones, throw leaders in jail, book some under UAPA, install CCTVs, monitor social media, victimize dissenters, harass cartoonists, call the bulldozers - then they ask, "if so many voters are excluded, why are they not protesting"?

[T. Prashant Reddy @Preddy85]

@__melioristic__ @sandylogy The cause title reads: State of Maharashtra v. Union of India.

[T. Prashant Reddy @Preddy85]

Incredible India! This is the state of dsyfunction in Indian governance. https://t.co/A5pBMdkuwZ

[T. Prashant Reddy @Preddy85]

@__melioristic__ @sandylogy Nobody is saying HCs cannot hear challenges to central laws. The question is can a HC hear a dispute between the Union and State. Under the GoI Act, 1935 only the Federal Court could hear these disputes and the same provision made its way into the Consti as Art. 131.
