00:26 Let's start with the Times of India. Supreme Court slams government for pick and
00:30 choose of judge names. The Supreme Court on Friday disapproved the
00:35 Centre's practice to pick and choose names out of those recommended by its Collegium
00:40 for Judgeship in High Courts and Apex Court, terming it "troublesome" which affects
00:45 seniority. A Supreme Court bench said that government
00:49 should not segregate as the names are recommended keeping in view the seniority of judges and
00:55 the segregation disturbs the seniority. Next headline is from the Indian Express.

02:03 Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Friday that the government is looking at reducing

03:01 umbrage at the agency filling petitions representing the Republic.
03:06 "Why have you filed as the Republic of India? You're not representing the Union or the Republic,"
03:12 a bench of justices A.S. Oka and Pankaj Mitkal remarked as it came across a petition filed
03:18 by the CBI as the Republic of India. That's all for National Headlines. To stay
