• SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES

1. Economy – GST revenue falls 12% in August at ₹86,449 crore – Goods and Services Tax revenue in August stood at ₹86,449 crore, just over 1% lower than the ₹87,422 crore collected in July. On a year-on-year basis, GST collections dropped 12% from August 2019. State-wise data shows that Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have posted a marginal increase in collections, while Haryana and Rajasthan saw a marginal decrease. Major States still showing a significant drop include Maharashtra, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. Overall, revenues from import of goods dropped 23% from the previous year, while revenues from domestic transactions dropped 8%. The Ministry noted that small businesses with a turnover less than ₹5 crore have till September to file returns.
2. Industry – Telcos get 10 years to pay AGR dues to govt. – The SC has allowed telecom companies 10 years’ time to pay their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to the government. The government had proposed in court a 20-year “formula” for telcos to make staggered payments of the dues. The formula was devised after extensive discussions, even at the Cabinet level, taking into account the financial dent the dues would cause the telecom sector. Even after part payment, the dues still run to ₹1.43 lakh crore. An October 2019 judgment of the court in the AGR issue originally wanted the telcos to make the repayments in three months. The court had concluded that the private telecom sector had long reaped the fruits of the Centre’s liberalised mode of payment by revenue sharing regime.
3. Economy – Manufacturing activity returns to expansion in August: PMI – Manufacturing activity re-entered the growth territory in August, driven by a rebound in production volumes and new work, amid an improvement in customer demand following the resumption of business operations. The headline seasonally-adjusted IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose from 46 in July to 52 in August, signalling an improvement in operating conditions across the manufacturing sector following four consecutive months of contraction. Despite an expansion in new orders, job shedding continued in the sector. The relocation of employees following COVID-19 pandemic was often linked to the reduction in staffing numbers. The survey noted the decline in foreign exports weighed slightly on overall new orders as firms cited subdued demand conditions from abroad.
4. World – Millions in Europe head back to school – Millions of mask-wearing European children headed back to school on Tuesday (September 1) after summer holidays despite rising numbers of novel coronavirus infections, as Hong Kong rolled out a mass COVID-19 testing programme. Schools reopened in Russia, Ukraine, Belgium, England and France, where teachers and their pupils aged 11 and older were obliged to wear face coverings, echoing regulations in place across the continent. Russia’s 17 million school children returned to class as the country confirmed it had passed one million infections — still well behind the tally in the U.S., now higher than six million. Officials have drawn fire from parents and teachers worried that strict social distancing and other protective measures will not be enough to prevent a second wave of COVID-19.
5. World – Turmeric shortage sparks concern in Lanka – A shortage of turmeric, a key ingredient in Sri Lankan cuisine, has sparked concern among consumers about supply amid soaring costs in recent months, after the government decided to restrict imports in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. While the government has capped maximum retail price of turmeric powder at LKR 750 (about ₹295) a kg, traders point to a black market where the spice is sold for almost five times the price. The Sri Lankan Navy has also busted attempts to smuggle in turmeric by sea. Last week alone, authorities recovered nearly 1,500 kg of dried turmeric in Norochcholai, some 150 km north of capital Colombo, on the island’s western coast. Despite the shortage and reports of shooting prices, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said his government will not go back on its decision on import restriction.
6. World – Protests erupt after police kill another black man in U.S. – U.S. police have shot dead another black man, who they said had a handgun but had dropped it during a violent altercation in Los Angeles, triggering fresh outrage as tensions soar over racism and police brutality. The man, named in local media as 29-year-old Dijon Kizzee, was riding his bicycle when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies tried to stop him for an unspecified vehicle code violation on Monday (August 31) afternoon. He fled on foot, and when officers caught up with him he punched one deputy in the face, dropping some items of clothing he was carrying, police said. The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semi-automatic handgun, at which time a deputy-involved shooting occurred.
7. World – Turkey renews call for talks, sharing of resources with Greece – Turkey’s Foreign Minister has said his country favours a dialogue with rival Greece that would lead to the fair sharing of resources in the eastern Mediterranean, where the two countries are locked in a tense standoff that threatens to spill into a conflict. Speaking at a news conference with his Algerian counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu also accused Greece of engaging in “provocative acts” in the region with the backing of the European Union, which has threatened sanctions against Ankara. Both countries’ forces have been conducting military exercises in the seas between Cyprus and the Greek island of Crete. The standoff was sparked when Turkey sent its research vessel, Oruc Reis, accompanied by warships to search for gas and oil reserves. Turkey has also extended Oruc Reis’ mission by another 10 days, until September 12.
8. COVID-19 – 78,357 COVID-19 Cases In India In 24 Hours, Total Cases Cross 37 Lakh – A single-day spike of 78,357 cases has push India's coronavirus tally to 37,69,523.

India is the country with the third-highest coronavirus caseload in the world after the US and Brazil.
9. Economy – To soften Covid-19 blow, India plans to extend MGNREGA to the cities – India is considering extending its flagship jobs program (MGNREGA) in villages to workers in cities left unemployed by the pandemic-induced lockdowns. The program, when approved, may be rolled out in smaller cities and initially cost about 350 billion rupees ($4.8 billion). PM Modi’s government is already spending more than 1 trillion rupees on a rural jobs program this year, under which workers in the hinterland can earn a guaranteed minimum daily wage of 202 rupees for at least 100 days a year.
10. Internal Security – ‘Provocative action’ by PLA again: MEA – Chinese troops engaged in “provocative action” along the disputed boundary in Ladakh once again on August 31, even as Commanders of the two sides were in discussion to de-escalate the situation. As Brigadier-level talks continued for the second day in Chushul, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a high-level meeting to review the ground situation. A defence source said that on August 31, PLA troops came closer to the posts dominated by the Indian Army but “they were dissuaded”.

• 1. CONSTITUTION AND LAW (Prelims, GS Paper 2, Essay paper)

1.1 Review the criminal contempt laws in India with International Standards - ICJ

• Issue –

1. The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) has urged for a review of criminal contempt laws in India, expressing its concerns over the Supreme Court's decision to convict Advocate Prashant Bhushan for criminal contempt.

• What was the decision of Supreme Court –

1. The Court found Prashant Bhushan guilty of ‘scandalizing the court’ on a suo-motu consideration of his two tweets. It has fined him with Rs. 1. It held that tweets on its “role” in the “last six years” and a photograph of the Chief Justice of India on a motorbike undermines its dignity and the office of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) in the public eye.

• Legal background of contempt of court -

1. Article 129 and 215 of the Constitution of India empowers the SC and HC respectively to punish people for their respective contempt.
2. Article 142 of the Indian Constitution also empowers the SC to punish for its contempt but what is contempt of court per se has not been defined by the Indian Constitution.
3. The Contempt of Court Act, 1971 elaborately deals with the concept of contempt of court. The Act divides contempt into civil and criminal contempt.

• International Commission of Jurists’ views -

1. Since 1952 International Commission of Jurists has performed a unique and prominent role as a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) defending human rights and the rule of law worldwide. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
2. For the ICJ, the conviction appears to be inconsistent with international standards on freedom of expression and the role of lawyers. The judgement goes against the general protection of free speech and expression in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights  by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The judgement also goes against the principles enshrined under the UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.

• Experts’ views –

1. Commenting on the numbers, one of the experts said that based on the available trends for the core sector, auto production and merchandise exports, “we expect the contraction in the Industrial Index of Production (IIP) to ease to 7-11 per cent in July 2020 from 16.6 per cent in June 2020”.
2. The eight core industries accounts for 40.27 per cent in the IIP. We continue to expect a multi-speed recovery going forward, characterised by regional and sectoral unevenness.
