⚖️ SC rejects Chitra Ramkrishna's plea in co-location scam

The Supreme Court refused to hear Chitra Ramkrishna's plea challenging the Delhi High Court's order in the co-location scam case. The former NSE managing director contested the High Court's July 9 verdict regarding anti-corruption law offenses against her. The High Court had ruled the NSE performs a "public duty" and upheld the prosecution sanction for Ramkrishna. Ramkrishna argued the PC Act's "public servant" definition was vague and inapplicable to private company employees. This decision comes as the scam relates to alleged broker abuse between 2010 and 2014. ⚖️

🚀 Musk's Moon City Plan Hits Water Hurdle 💧

Elon Musk envisions a self-growing city on the Moon within the next ten years. This ambitious plan involves SpaceX focusing on a lunar metropolis, but a new study raises serious questions about water availability. Even with generous estimates, the water supply might only last over a century for a million people, assuming high recycling. If the actual water reserves are much lower, the timeline shrinks drastically, potentially to just a decade. Therefore, while smaller settlements are possible, the vision of a massive, self-sustaining lunar city faces major resource challenges.
