Bhatkal, June 7: Police in the town have asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell 'Maa' mango fruit juice after a dead snake was found in a 200 ml tetra pack purchased by a local resident.

One of the two persons, who fell ill after consuming the juice from the snake-filled Maa pack three days ago, has still not recovered and undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kundapur.

Sayyad Mohammad Safwan, a resident of Good Luck road in Bhatkal had bought some tetra packs of the juice for consumption last Monday.

When his sister Saheefa (22) was drinking the juice using a straw, she felt some problem in sipping the juice. Her mother Umme Salma (45) also tried to sip the juice with help of straw. She grew suspicious and opened the packet slightly to witness a six-inch long dead snake inside the pack.

Within minutes both mother and daughter began vomiting and they were shifted to a hospital immediately.

Later, Safwan informed about the snake-filled pack to the owner of 'A-1 Bakery', from where he had bought it and in turn the owner informed the manufacturers.

On Wednesday Bhatkal town police asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell any tetra pack of 'Maa' bearing manufacturing date of March 17, 2012 and batch number B1233.

Shock

Sources said that the mother and daughter who shared the poisonous juice are still under shock. Though the mother has slightly recovered, she is still not taking food properly.

Dr Jalaluddin, who is treating the victims, said that the duo need some time to forget the incident and recover completely. However, he confirmed that both were out of danger.

Kerala becomes first state to challenge CAA in Supreme Court

News Network

January 14,2020

New Delhi, Jan 14: The Kerala government has challenged the new Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) before the Supreme Court, becoming the first state to do so amid nationwide protests against the religion-based citizenship law. The Supreme Court is already hearing over 60 petitions against the law.

Kerala's Left-led government in its petition calls the CAA a violation of several articles of the constitution including the right to equality and says the law goes against the basic principle of secularism in the constitution.

The Kerala government has also challenged the validity of changes made in 2015 to the Passport law and the Foreigners (Amendment) Order, regularising the stay of non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who had entered India before 2015.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), eases the path for non-Muslims in the neighbouring Muslim-majority nations of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to become Indian citizens. Critics fear that the CAA, along with a proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), will discriminate against Muslims.

The Kerala petition says the CAA violates Articles 14, 21 and 25 of the constitution.

While Article 14 is about the right to equality, Article 21 says "no person will be deprived of life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law". Under Article 25, "all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience."

Several non-BJP governments have refused to carry out the NRC in an attempt to stave off the enforcement of the citizenship law.

Over 60 writ petitions have been filed in Supreme Court so far against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Various political parties, NGOs and also MPs have challenged the law.

The Supreme Court will hear the petitions on January 22.

During the last hearing, petitioners didn't ask that the law be put on hold as the CAA was not in force. The Act has, however, come into force from January 10 through a home ministry notification.
