GST department seizes goods without e-way bills during raid on Samastipur transporter

The GST Intelligence Bureau conducted a raid on a transporter's warehouse located on Gola Road in Samastipur, Bihar, as part of a crackdown on tax evasion during the festive season. The operation was led by Deputy Commissioner of State Tax Afzal Hasnain and Assistant Commissioner Divya Prakash. During the surprise inspection, the transporter failed to produce valid documentation or e-way bills for the goods stored on the premises. Consequently, the GST department has initiated legal procedures to seize the stock and is interrogating the operator regarding potential tax evasion. Joint Commissioner Krishna Mohan Singh stated that the department has intensified vigilance across the district, including areas such as Rosera, Dalsinghsarai, and Patori, to monitor suspicious transport and logistics activities and enforce compliance with tax regulations.

Possession of visa does not grant unconditional right to enter India, rules Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court has ruled that holding a visa does not confer an absolute or unconditional right for a foreign national to enter India. Justice Amit Mahajan stated that immigration control, including the refusal of entry, constitutes a sovereign function rooted in national security and foreign policy, rather than an enforceable right. The Court rejected a petition from a Turkmenistan citizen who challenged being denied entry despite holding a business visa, noting that immigration authorities have the statutory power to examine travel documents and exercise discretion at the point of entry. Furthermore, the Court observed that the petitioner failed to provide adequate documentation regarding her business purpose. Citing the lack of a legally enforceable right, the Court held that it could not invoke its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to interfere with the state's sovereign immigration decisions.

Consequently, the NGT has issued a notice to the District Magistrate, directing them to file a compliance report via affidavit within two months. The District Magistrate has also been ordered to appear in person or via video conferencing at the next hearing, which is scheduled for November 20. The original matter was raised by Jaygopal Rai, president of the Hazaribagh Environment Protection Trust, concerning the implementation of a restoration plan prepared by the Municipal Corporation.

SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami demands CBI probe into Anandpur Sahib matter

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami has formally demanded a CBI investigation into the Anandpur Sahib incident. Dhami announced that an SGPC delegation will meet with the Punjab Governor within three days to submit this request. The SGPC has established a five-member committee to conduct an internal probe, independent of the ongoing police investigation, to ensure impartiality. Dhami emphasized that it is premature to assign guilt before a judicial decision and criticized public protests against the committee, questioning if they are politically motivated. Additionally, Dhami requested the government to expedite the process for SGPC general elections to clarify the institution's elected framework and commented on a discussion with Balwant Singh Rajoana regarding his death sentence commutation petition.
