1. All the four writ petitions seek identical relief in the nature of a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to permit the petitioners to avail input tax credit of the accumulated CENVAT credit as of 30th June, 2017 by filing declaration Form TRAN-1 beyond the period provided under the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 (hereinafter, the "CGST Rules"). Additionally, petitioners also assail Rule 117 of the CGST Rules on the ground that it is arbitrary, unconstitutional and violative of Article 14 to the extent it imposes a time limit for carrying forward the CENVAT credit to the GST regime. However, all the petitioners have unanimously stated that if the Court were to give directions to the respondents to permit them to file the statutory Form TRAN-1 to avail the input tax credit, they would be satisfied and not press for the relief of challenging the vires of the provisions of the Act.

Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach has told Sebastian Coe to immediately start drawing up a list of medals that should be taken from drug cheats and handed to the athletes they robbed.

INTERVIEW BY MARTHA KELNER: Jessica Ennis-Hill accepts that, through no fault of her own, some people might be deterred from voting for her because of the doping crisis engulfing athletics.

MARTHA KELNER: The 29-year-old spoke passionately about feeling betrayed by the very people she should have been able to trust to protect her as a clean athlete.

Jessica Ennis-Hill is to miss the indoor athletics season after suffering an achilles injury while training. The reigning Olympic heptathlon champion has not put a timescale on her recovery.

With 100 days to go until the opening ceremony in Rio, Britain's world and Olympic heptathlon champion said on Tuesday she already felt 2016 would be unlike any other year for her.

Jessica Ennis-Hill faces a key test of her Olympic preparations in Germany this weekend when she competes in her first heptathlon since winning gold at last year's World Championships.

Jessica Ennis says her son Reggie, two, is her priority now and that 'everything changed' after she became a mum. The 30-year-old has retired from Olympic sport after her silver medal in Rio.

Britain's bronze medal long jumper Greg Rutherford had an emotional reunion with his partner Susie Verrill and son Milo, while silver medallist Mark Cavendish also returned from Rio.

Track and field icon Jessica Ennis-Hill, who won heptathlon gold for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics, has retired from athletics. The 30-year-old had hinted at retirement after Rio 2016.
