Supreme Court on Presidential and Governor's Powers
The Supreme Court has addressed the issue of time limits for presidents and governors to sign bills. Initially, the Supreme Court had set a timeline of one month for governors and three months for the president to sign bills. However, this decision was reversed because the Constitution does not specify such time limits. The discussion includes the powers of the Governor (Article 153, Article 200) and the President (Article 152, Article 111) regarding bills, including the ability to pass, withhold, or return them, and the implications of these powers in the context of a case from Tamil Nadu. The current Chief Justice of India is Gavai.
Wild Tiger Sighting in Gujarat
A wild tiger has been spotted in Gujarat's Ratan Mahal Wildlife Sanctuary (Dawood District), marking the first time all three species—Asiatic lions, Indian leopards, and tigers—have been found in one Indian state. The sanctuary, established in 1982, features dry deciduous forests and the Panam River. Gir National Park is known for Asiatic Lions and Banni Grassland is also located in Gujarat.

GI Tag for Meerut Bugle
The Meerut Bugle, a musical instrument, has received a GI tag, signifying its unique origin in Uttar Pradesh. GI tags are governed by a 1999 act, implemented in 2003, with the first tag given in 2004-05. The Ministry of Commerce oversees GI tags in India, while TRIPS regulates them globally. The Meerut Bugle, a wind instrument made of brass, is used in military parades and dates back to the 19th century British era. Meerut is also known for sports products and handmade items, including scissors that also have a GI tag. The Namo Train, a regional train, runs from Delhi to Meerut.
