Google loses Blogger.in domain breaking hundreds of thousands of links
Google seems to have lost ownership of its blogspot.in domain. The domain is part of Google-owned Blogger, a blog-publishing service, that the company acquired in 2003.
On Blogger, country-specific domains are not different blog addresses, but a domain redirect based on the country where you're currently located. When searched within India, Blogger points to username.blogspot.in as opposed to username.blogspot.com. A lot of users in India then also end up sharing .in permalinks all over the Web.
From a WHOIS lookup, it seems that the blogspot.in domain has been picked up by a domain service provider.
Domain Name: blogspot.inRegistry Domain ID: DE2DC9C0E8E694C28ADEF0F444F121B45-INRegistrar URL: www.domainming.comUpdated Date: 2020-06-29T20:00:06ZCreation Date: 2020-06-24T20:00:05ZRegistry Expiry Date: 2021-06-24T20:00:05ZDomain Status: inactive
In February 2013, Blogger introduced multiple country-specific URLs. For example, username.blogspot.com will automatically redirect to username.blogspot.in in India and username.blogspot.com.au in Australia. At the time, Google explained the intent that if the company receives a request to remove content that violates local law, that content may no longer be available to readers on local domains where those laws apply.
Blogger doesn’t seem to be a focus product for Google for a while, however, this mess would hurt a lot of bloggers and readers with broken links all over. A search result on Google for ‘site:blogspot.in’, for example, yields over 4.5 million results at the time of writing.

MACP In Promotional Hierarchy – Dismissed By Hon’ble Supreme Court
Extract of Judgement :
51.The ACP Scheme which is now superseded by MACP Scheme is a matter of government policy. Interference with the recommendations of the expert body like Pay Commission and its recommendations for the MACP, would have serious impact on the public The recommendations of the Pay Commission for MACP Scheme has been accepted by the Government and implemented. There is nothing to show that the Scheme is arbitrary or unjust warranting interference.

The impugned orders cannot be sustained and are liable to be set aside.
