Opposition motion a ‘revenge’ petition, says Arun Jaitley

NEWSPAPER HEADLINES,

The Supreme Court's judgement in the Special CBI judge B H Loya death case dominates front page headlines. The DNA quotes the apex court as saying "Judge Loya died naturally, no need for an inquiry". The Times of India reports the judgement as saying "Demand for probe meant to mislead the court". On the political slugfest between the BJP and the Congress that followed the judgement the Hindu quotes Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad as saying  "Rahul and Congress owe an apology" and the Congress party describing it as a "Sad letter day". In a possible fallout of the judgement, the Hindustan Times says "Congress, others may move motion on CJI removal".

The State Bank of India's reassurance on the ATM cash crunch is prominently noticed on the front pages of most papers. The Pioneer quotes the country's largest bank as saying "ATM cash crunch on the wane, normalcy likely today". The Hindu writes on its front page "SBI customers can draw Rs.2000/- from POS or Point of Sale machines".

In the backdrop of the incident involving lawyers trying to obstruct the police from filing a chargesheet in the Kathua rape and murder case, the Hindustan Times reports "Supreme Court slams lawyers over Kathua case". The DNA writes "Didn't support lawyers' protest : Jammu High Court Bar Association to top court".

All the papers note that the Metropolitan Judge who had resigned hours after acquitting the accused in the Mecca Masjid blast case has resumed duties. The Pioneer writes "Mecca Masjid judge's resignation rejected : Ravinder Reddy resumes duties".
