Unbelievable though it may sound, it happened in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Azad Hospital in Maoist-infested Balaghat district. Everyone in the hospital was amazed at such a surge of twin births between October 26 and November 3, which happened for the first time in its history. One infant girl passed away because of underweight, but rest of the twins and their mothers are healthy. Civil surgeon Dr Nilay Jain said nine sets of twins were born, and infant girl passed away. He described the episode as a once-in-a-life-time event. Out of nine sets of twins, four were pre-mature babies, and all of them have been kept in Special Newborn Care unit (SNCU), he said, adding that it seems the twins have occupied the unit. According to Jain, he has never seen the arrival of nine sets of twins in a week in his 30 years of service. Six sets of twins were born within just 72 hours, and three others arrived later in the same week, he said. He cannot justify how and why such an unprecedented incident occurred, Jain said. Babies delivered by women are from different places and different categories, he said. One of the families got their infant boy discharged after the death of the infant girl, he said. ESTD-1983 iii QUALITY @ VALUE EDITIONS: INDORE MONEY NASHIK NEW DELHI JUSTICE NAGARATHNA Does material resource of a community used in 39B include privately owned resources? CJI Chandrachud DY Chandrachud BV Nagarathna The case relates to Article 31C of the Constitution that protects laws made by the State to fulfill directive principles of state policy -- guidelines the Constitution lays down for governments to follow while making laws and policies. Among the laws that Article 31C protects is Article 39B. Article 39B lays down that the State shall direct its policy towards ensuring that the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the com- mon good. On this, the Chief Justice remarked, "Does material resource of a community used in 39B include privately owned resources? Theoretically, the answer is yes, the phrase may include privately owned resources. However, this court is unable to subscribe itself to the minority view of Justice Iyer in Ranganath Reddy. We hold that not every resource owned by an individual can be considered a material resource of a community only because it meets the qualifier of material needs." "The enquiry about the resource in question falls under 39B must be contest-specific and subject to a non-exhaustive list of factors such as nature of resource, the characteristics, the impact of the resource on well-being of the community, the scarcity of resource and consequences of such a resource being concentrated in the hands of private players, the public trust doctrine evolved by this court may also help identify resources which fall under the ambit of material resource of a community," he added. 4Continued on | P6 As a matter of fact, the 42nd amendment had included socialist in the Constitution.
