Bengaluru: FIR against crèche staff over claims of physical abuse and cruelty towards children The HAL police have registered a case against the in-charge and several caregivers of a crèche operating inside an IT company within the HAL police station limits over allegations of physical abuse and cruelty towards the children of IT employees. The case was registered at the HAL Police Station under Section 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act, based on a complaint filed by Tilakesh Kumar. According to the complaint, the alleged incidents took place on June 25. The complainant alleged that the crèche staff, including the in-charge and caregivers, subjected children to physical and mental abuse.

THE HINDU IMPACT | Kerala HC initiates suo motu PIL into tree-felling on CHR land in Idukki

IMPACT | Kerala HC initiates suo motu PIL into tree-felling on CHR land in Idukki The Kerala High Court registered a suo motu Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Wednesday, alleging large-scale tree-felling and unauthorised construction on approximately 296 acres of cardamom title land on Gudanpara Estate, Idukki, falling under the Ponmudi Forest Section, Devikulam Range. The petition was initiated on a report in on extensive destruction of virgin forest land in the name of cardamom cultivation in the estate. Three cases have been registered by the Forest department relating to the felling of rare tree species. Serious environmental concerns were raised in the report regarding the alleged destruction of forest land, loss of biodiversity, unauthorised activities in an ecologically sensitive area, and the need to ensure effective implementation of the forest and environmental laws for the protection and conservation of the Cardamom Hill Reserve (CHR), the PIL stated. The court noted that Gudanpara Estate was originally claimed by local and Tamil Nadu residents and then leased out. No farming activities had previously been carried out on the said land. The “owners” had not produced copies of title deeds despite repeated demands from the authorities. The estate shares its boundaries with Tamil Nadu and contains more than 600 varieties of trees, forming part of a virgin forest ecosystem and serving as a natural habitat for several wildlife species.

GST has transformed indirect tax system, says High Court Chief Justice

GST has transformed indirect tax system, says High Court Chief Justice The ninth GST Day was celebrated in Hyderabad on July 1, with High Court Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh describing the Goods and Services Tax as a landmark reform that has transformed India’s indirect tax system through digitalisation, uniformity and cooperative federalism. Addressing the gathering as the chief guest, Justice Singh said GST has made tax administration more transparent, efficient and taxpayer-friendly since its implementation on July 1, 2017. He noted that while technology-driven compliance has modernised tax administration, it has also created new legal and operational challenges, including disputes relating to digital notices, Input Tax Credit and appeal timelines. He said monthly GST collections had more than doubled since the tax regime was introduced, while the number of registered taxpayers had increased from around 60 lakh to more than 1.65 crore. He also highlighted the Hyderabad CGST Zone’s growth in revenue collections and expansion of its taxpayer base. The programme was attended by senior officers of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, officials from the Central GST and State GST departments, representatives of trade and industry, members of the tax fraternity, legal professionals and other stakeholders.

UK High Court lets Indian-origin barrister return after Oxford CV lie appeal

UK High Court lets Indian-origin barrister return after Oxford CV lie appeal UK High Court lets Indian-origin barrister return after Oxford CV lie appeal The High Court replaced Anurag Mohindru's disbarment with a suspension that has now expired. The ruling stressed that old, non-repeated dishonesty can be punished without permanently ending a legal career. An Indian-origin lawyer who was disbarred from the legal profession in the UK after falsely claiming to have studied medicine at the University of Oxford has won a High Court appeal against the punishment. Anurag Mohindru, 51, had been removed from practice after being found guilty of professional misconduct, but the court has now reduced the sanction to a suspension that expired on Tuesday, clearing the way for him to return as a barrister. The High Court said the case involved misconduct from many years ago that had not been repeated. In court reports, Justice Johnson said: "The public is capable of understanding the difference between a practitioner who has recently acted dishonestly, or whose dishonesty forms part of a continuing pattern, and one whose misconduct occurred many years ago, has not been repeated, and whose subsequent conduct has demonstrated a sustained record of integrity." He added: "In such a case, public confidence may be maintained by a sanction which marks the gravity of the dishonesty without permanently excluding the practitioner from the profession." Mohindru was charged by the Bar Standards Board with engaging in dishonest and/or discreditable conduct. An independent tribunal last year disbarred him for professional misconduct after finding that he had acted dishonestly by giving false information on his curriculum vitae during his application for tenancy at 23 Essex Street chambers in November 2012. At earlier hearings, the watchdog said he had brought the legal…
