Justice Karnan 'sentences' CJI, 7 other SC judges to 5 years in jail

Newspapers Headlines
Most of the newspapers have prominently featured the accusations of the fired AAP minister Kapil Mishra.
"Day after sacking, Mishra says Kejriwal got Rs 2 cr; Sisodia calls it 'baseless'", is the lead headline in the Indian Express. DNA summarises the development in its lead story as "Boomerang! Hit by the stone he threw at others"
Hindustan Times reports that cash use is back in vogue despite the government's e-payment push. The paper adds that though ATM replenishment is yet to normalise, the cash withdrawals from ATM increased in March 2017 as compared to March 2016.
Business Standard writes that the Start Up India policy is about to get a makeover. The tweaked policy would give rejected firms a second chance, adds the paper.
Another story that finds mention in many newspapers is the firing of bullets in the air by the comrades during the funeral of a slain Lashkar terrorist. "Gun salute for slain Lashkar terrorist" headlines the Pioneer.
"It's the best time in a decade to purchase a home" writes Financial Express. The paper quotes from a CLSA report and says falling mortgage rates and house prices and increasing incomes mean that house affordability is the best since 2005.
The Hindu says that dress code is a tougher test for NEET aspirants. Many candidates have run afoul of the strict dress code, which prohibits full sleeve shirts, pens, pencils, closed or high-heeled shoes, big brooches and metal buttons.
And finally, news that will bring a smile to both farmers and consumers. The Indian Express reports that a vegetable market in Solan has changed the way farmers sell their produce within a year of the launch of the government's National Agriculture Market or e-NAM project. Farmers now log in to the e-NAM website, access real time wholesale rates and choose the buyer, completely bypassing the agents.
