CBI arrests accused absconding for 23 years in Rs 9 lakh fraud case

CBI arrests accused absconding for 23 years in Rs 9 lakh fraud case CBI arrests accused absconding for 23 years in Rs 9 lakh fraud case The CBI has arrested Roop Singh, who had been absconding for nearly 23 years in a 1998 goods misappropriation case. The arrest follows the earlier capture of co-accused Arjun Singh and advances the long-pending investigation. The CBI has arrested Roop Singh, a proclaimed offender who had been absconding for nearly 23 years in a 1998 case involving the theft and criminal misappropriation of goods worth around Rs 9 lakh. His arrest comes months after another accused, Arjun Singh, was arrested in the same case. CASE DATES BACK TO 1998 The case originated in Maharashtra and pertains to the theft and criminal misappropriation of goods, including ghee and mung, that were loaded in two trucks. According to the allegations, on September 27, 1998, the two truck drivers, Babu Khan and Aslam Khan, stole and misappropriated the goods. The Bombay High Court later directed that the case be investigated by the CBI. The agency subsequently re-registered the case on April 5, 2002 against Babu Khan, Aslam Khan and others.

Plea filed before Supreme Court to remove Manan Kumar Mishra as BCI chairperson; flags his decade-long tenure

Plea filed before Supreme Court to remove Manan Kumar Mishra as BCI chairperson; flags his decade-long tenure A petition has been filed before the Supreme Court against Manan Kumar Mishra's continued chairmanship of Bar Council of India (BCI) for over a decade [Yogamaya MG vs. The petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Yogamaya MG has challenged the uninterrupted continuation of Mishra as BCI Chairman, arguing that BCI Rule 12(2) caps the chairman's tenure at two years and that the April 2025 gazette notification extending his term to 2030 is contrary to law. The petition has sought Mishra's removal along with a fresh, court-supervised election, a cumulative term limit and rotation mechanism for the office. Pertinently, the petitioner has also sought an independent probe into the BCI Trust "PEARL-FIRST" and All India Bar Examination finances. The plea has further prayed for an interim direction to set up an independent administrative committee to run BCI's functions if the Court orders Mishra's removal. The petition has been filed through advocate Deepak Prakash.

Poetic justice: Bombay HC refuses urgent relief to restaurant against FDA action over analogue paneer

Poetic justice: Bombay HC refuses urgent relief to restaurant against FDA action over analogue paneer The Bombay High Court on Friday refused urgent relief to a restaurant whose license was suspended for serving the banned ‘analog paneer’. [Udupi Swaad Restaurant v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.] The Court was approached by the restaurant challenging the suspension of its license by the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration. A division bench of acting Chief Justice Ravindra V Ghuge and Justice Gautam A Ankhad observed that restaurants cannot serve synthetic substitutes under the guise of dairy paneer without explicit disclosure to consumers. When the restaurant requested an urgent stay on the order suspending its license, the Court remarked the establishment must suffer temporarily. “Let the FDA reply come, suffer till then. You also need to suffer first as you have made people suffer by eating this. After FDA suspended the restaurant’s license on August 10, it declared the restaurant’s paneer sample unsafe and substandard. The restaurant argued that authorities failed to issue a mandatory improvement notice under the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA). It also raised grievance that the abrupt closure caused severe revenue and reputation losses.

West Bank teen killed as Turkey seeks Netanyahu warrant over flotilla raid

West Bank teen killed as Turkey seeks Netanyahu warrant over flotilla raid West Bank teen killed as Turkey seeks Netanyahu warrant over flotilla raid A Palestinian teenager was killed in the West Bank as Turkey sought an international warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. The developments underscored intensifying regional conflict and mounting economic strain on Lebanon. A Palestinian teenager was killed in the occupied West Bank on Friday after a rock-throwing incident, as wider developments in the Middle East also saw Turkey seek an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the World Bank warn that Lebanon's brief economic recovery has ended. The developments came amid escalating violence in the West Bank, growing tensions over Israel's interception of boats trying to break the Gaza naval blockade in May, and fresh economic pressure on Lebanon following the latest Israel-Hezbollah war. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 17-year-old Palestinian was killed and another man was wounded by Israeli settler gunfire after rocks were thrown in Sa'ir, north of Hebron. The ministry identified the teenager as Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh. His father told The Associated Press at the hospital that Israeli settlers had killed his son. The Israeli military said soldiers were sent to Sa'ir after Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli civilians who were in the area without prior authorisation.

Kerala High Court pulls up advocate for attesting false affidavit

Kerala High Court pulls up advocate for attesting false affidavit The Kerala High Court recently criticised the conduct of a lawyer who attested his clients's affidavit containing false statements [Safwan Muhamed Sherif v Federal Bank & ors] In a judgment delivered on August 17, Justice MA Abdul Hakhim found that the petitioner's explanation in his affidavit about his bank transactions were not supported by the documents on record. However, the advocate representing the petitioner had attested his affidavit despite knowing that the statements contained in them were false. The Court observed that such conduct by an officer of the court undermines the integrity of the judicial process and emphasised that advocates have a duty to prevent litigants from making false statements in their pleadings. "It is well settled that advocates are officers of the Court. They should not allow the litigants to pollute the judicial system. Advocates should not allow their clients to make false statements when the advocates fully know from the documents available to them that their clients are making false statements in the pleadings. This Court strongly condemns the conduct of the counsel for the petitioner and strongly deprecates the practice of advocates attesting affidavits of their clients fully knowing that the statements contained in the affidavit are false," the Court said. It made the observation while dismissing a petition filed by 22-year-old Safwan Muhamed Sherif, who sought the unfreezing of his account maintained with Federal Bank.
