Quick Glance: Coal Auction Scandal Involving Two RPSG Firms Among Top Political Party Donors
- Two RP Sanjiv Goenka Group companies were identified by CAG for manipulating the coal mine auction and are significant contributors to political parties under the electoral bonds scheme.
- The names listed as electoral bond donors and recipients were made public by the Election Commission following directives from the apex court.
- The two companies played a pivotal role in manipulating bids during the country's inaugural coal auction to assist the group's main company in securing the coal block, leading to scrutiny by the government auditor CAG.
- Collectively, the two companies donated a total of Rs 485 crore through electoral bonds to political parties whose identities remain undisclosed. The electoral bonds scheme, allowing unrestricted contributions to political parties through such bonds, was declared unconstitutional by the apex court last month.

Quick Glance: Japanese High Court Rules Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Unconstitutional
- A Japanese high court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and urged immediate government action to address the lack of laws allowing for such unions.
- The court lacks the power to overturn the current marriage law, which limits marriage to a man and a woman. Government offices can continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples or a new law is enacted.
- The Sapporo High Court ruling emphasized that not permitting same-sex couples to marry and enjoy equal benefits as heterosexual couples violates their fundamental right to have a family.
- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.
