Tata Sons, in a statement on Wednesday, reacted to the NCLAT's order to restore Cyrus Mistry as the group chairman stating that the "order appears to even go beyond the specific reliefs sought by the Appellant".&nbsp;

As per the statement, Tata Sons is set to "appropriate legal recourse" in the matter.&nbsp;

"Tata Sons strongly believes in the strength of its case and will take appropriate legal recourse," the statement noted as reported by news agency ANI.&nbsp;

Mistry, on the other hand, termed the judgment as the victory for the principles of good governance and minority shareholder rights.

"Today's judgment is not a personal victory for me but is a victory for the principles of good governance and minority shareholder rights. For over fifty years, the Mistry family, as the significant minority shareholder of Tata Sons, has always endeavoured to play the role of a responsible guardian of an institution that the entire nation is proud of," Mistry said in a statement.

"The outcome of the appeal is a vindication of my stand taken when the then board of Tata Sons, without warning or reason removed me, first as the executive chairman, and subsequently as a director of Tata Sons. My endeavour as Executive Chairman had always been to establish a culture and processes that promote effective board governance to create long term stakeholder value, sustainable profits and growth," it said.

The NCLT bench had also said that Mistry was ousted as chairman because the Tata Sons' Board and its majority shareholders had 'lost confidence in him.'

Two months after his removal, Mistry's family-run firms approached the NCLT as minority shareholders, against Tata Sons, Ratan Tata and some other board members.

Mistry in his pleas primarily argued that his removal was not in accordance with the Companies Act and that there was rampant mismanagement of affairs across Tata Sons.&nbsp;

In a major sigh of relief, India on Wednesday granted temporary relaxation to those who have not got their Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards re-issued.

According to an official notification, OCI cards holders, who are either below 20 years or above 50 years of age and have renewed their passports, can continue their travel to India till June 30.

They, however, are subjected to carry their existing OCI cards along with the new and old passports.

The move came after India citizens, who have settled abroad, complained that they were being subject to harassment by both the immigration authorities in cases pertaining to the re-issuing of the OCI cards.

In many cases, OCI cardholders had to cancel their trip to India or had to abruptly return mid-way due to the previous inconvenience.

The MEA had earlier allowed that OCI card needed to be re-issued each time a new passport was acquired by the cardholders up to the age of 20 years.

In addition, the cardholders were also required re-issued them once on acquiring a new passport after completing 50 years of age.

The OCI card was also not required to re-issue each time a passport was issued to a cardholder between 21 and 50 years of age.&nbsp;

Czech Republic: Citizens call for Prime Minister Andrej Babis resignation

In an apparent attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar on Wednesday said the Citizenship Amendment Act is the law of the land and those who are on constitutional and government posts are bound by it.

"I don't care about (what) political parties do. They are free to say whatever they want. According to the Constitution, the state government is bound to follow the law. And those who are on government posts are fully bound by the law of the land. The Chief Minister took the oath to act according to the Constitution, and this law is part of the Constitution," Dhankar said at a press conference.

Banerjee, who has been at the loggerheads with Dhankar, is opposed to the Citizenship Amendment Act and has said that she will not allow the legislation to be implemented in West Bengal.

Dhankar said that the amended Citizenship Act is not against any citizen of India.

"The Citizenship Amendment Act is not against any citizen of India and it does not deprive any citizen of this country in any manner whatsoever. If any impression is being given that it affects the citizen of the country, it is erroneous and misinterpretation," he said.

"It is giving a healing touch to those who have no other place to go and India is their natural home. Citizenship Act doesn't affect the interest of any Indian citizen," Dhankar said.

The Governor expressed hope that the Chief Minister will enter into a dialogue with him.

"I have no doubt that the Honourable Chief Minister would also enter into a dialogue with me. That dialogue will be beneficial for both of us and it will be in the interest of West Bengal. And it will serve a large constitutional purpose," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act seeks to grant citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and came to India on or before December 31, 2014.&nbsp;

Reeling from deadly <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/australian-boy-12-drives-brothers-truck-to-flee-fires-with-dog-268640">bushfires and heatwaves</a>, Australia recorded its hottest day ever on Tuesday at a high of 40.9C (105.6F).

In its release on Tuesday, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said that temperatures in South Australia will begin to rise and "will continue to build in the coming days, pushing east into Victoria and New South Wales over the course of the week".&nbsp;

Many areas are expected to experience "severe to extreme heatwaves this week," the BOM website mentioned.&nbsp;

"For many areas, severe to extreme heatwave conditions will be felt, so it's important people follow the advice of health authorities, stay up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings from the Bureau and remember to check in on any vulnerable family and friends," Bureau meteorologist Sarah Scully said.&nbsp;

Before this, Australia suffered its hottest day in the year 2013 "when the average maximum temperature across the continent was 40.30 ºC," the website stated.&nbsp;

Reeling from deadly bushfires and heatwaves, Australia recorded its hottest day ever on Tuesday at a high of 40.9C (105.6F). In its release on Tuesday, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said that temperatures in South Australia will begin to rise and "will continue to build in the coming days, pushing east into Victoria and New South Wales over the course of the week". Many areas are expected to experience "severe to extreme heatwaves this week," the BOM website mentioned. "For many areas, severe to extreme heatwave conditions will be felt, so it's important people follow the advice of health authorities, stay up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings from the Bureau and remember to check in on any vulnerable family and friends," Bureau meteorologist Sarah Scully said. Before this, Australia suffered its hottest day in the year 2013 "when the average maximum temperature across the continent was 40.30 ºC," the website stated. × Oodnadatta, a South Australian town, is expected to record peak temperatures of 47 Celsius (116.6 Fahrenheit) as predicted by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). According to the forecast, the town will become one of the hottest places on Earth. The unrelenting heat in Oodnadatta, forecast to repeat every day for at least the next week, is expected to fall just shy of the 50.7C (123.26F) temperature recorded there in 1960, a long-standing national record, news agency Reuters reported. For weeks, Australia is battling hot weather which is fuelling fires that have destroyed many homes and taken a toll on the wildlife. Fire authorities in New South Wales (NSW) said on Wednesday there were 100 fires, half of them not contained. Fires have killed six people, destroyed more than 680 homes and burnt nearly 3 million acres (1.2 million hectares) of bushland. (With inputs from Reuters)
