Supreme Court Limits Retrospective Environmental Clearances; UPSC Covers Governance and Technology Topics
The Supreme Court struck down the Centre's 2021 Office Memorandum allowing retrospective environmental clearances, limiting such approvals to statutory notifications in exceptional public interest. This ruling refines environmental regulation without endorsing blanket amnesty. Separately, UPSC preparatory content covers key governance topics, including the First Information Report's legal framework and challenges in expanding India's nuclear power alongside advances in AI and quantum computing for healthcare. These materials aim to support civil service exam readiness with current affairs and policy insights.
