For the world’s leading athletes, the sole focus will be on qualification and the dream of winning a medal at the sporting showcase. And for spectators, the main concern will be finding accommodation and tickets for their chosen discipline.As for Tokyo’s residents, the main issue will be the influx of so many visitors into what is already a congested city.As for Tokyo’s residents, the main issue will be the influx of so many visitors into what is already a congested city.

HYUNDAI NEW GEN

New-Gen HYUNDAI

The all-new 2020 Hyundai i20, which will become the third generation of the company’s popular small car, will make its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2020. World over, the i20 has been a pretty strong opponent of traditional best-sellers like the VW Polo and Ford Fiesta, while the hatchback rivals the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Honda Jazz in India.

In a fresh development, the official images of the new model have appeared online, which puts a pretty unexpected end to the wait for the next-generation model. As can be viewed in these images, the next-gen Hyundai i20 looks hotter than the current version as it features a bolder front fascia and sharper lines almost across the body. The rear-end also looks fairly distinctive due to the connected lighting elements and a steeply raked windscreen.

AADHAR CARD

      AADHAR CARD

Uttaranchal High Court: A Division Judge Bench comprising of Rajiv Sharma, ACJ and Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. disposed of a PIL for the rights of people with disabilities.

The petitioner through his letter sought to draw the attention of the court towards the grievances of the people who had faced problems under the Aadhaar regime whereby the aadhaar cards could not be accessed by them due to their disability.

Considering it to be a sensitive matter the Court took suo motu cognizance of the same by appraising the principle of lex non cogit ed impossibilia (law does not enforce impossibilities) and stated that the approach of the entire machinery should be humane plus it should evolve a process itself taking into consideration the difficulties faced by the disabled persons.

Accordingly, the Court directed the District Magistrate, Almora to ensure that the Aadhaar Cards of the said persons were prepared within three days from this date and, thereafter, respondent shall release the disability pension to them within seven days along with arrears.[Laxman Singh Negi v. State of Uttrakhand,  Order dated 29-08-2018

Calcutta High Court: While deciding a case where it was contended by the petitioner that Aadhar card was proof of his citizenship, the Single Bench of Joymalya Bagchi, J. held that in accordance with Section 9 of the Aadhar Act, the Aadhaar card by itself shall not confer any right of  proof of citizenship or domicile in respect of the holder thereto.

It was submitted by the petioner that aadhar card was submitted to him in view of his long residence in the country. It was argued by the State that relying on the provisions of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016  issuance of aadhar card cannot be treated as a proof of citizenship . The Court reaffirming the State’s view held that under Section 9 of said Act,  Adhaar Card by itself shall not confer any right of citizenship to petitioner.

Apart from this the petitioner also placed reliance of his claim of his citizenship on the residence certificate issued by a representative of a local body. The Court also did away with this claim by holding the letter issued by the representative of the local body as to the residence of the petitioner also does not, ipso facto, confer citizenship on the petitioner
