CBI arrests Plant Quarantine Station Visakhapatnam Assistant Director and private individual in ₹1 lakh bribery case

The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested T.M. Sudhakara, Assistant Director and In-charge of the Plant Quarantine Station, Visakhapatnam, and S. Satyanarayana in an alleged bribery matter. According to a CBI release, the Assistant Director allegedly demanded ₹1 lakh for clearance of containers belonging to a private firm. The CBI laid a trap and caught the accused accepting ₹1 lakh from a private individual. Searches were conducted at premises in Visakhapatnam, Faridabad, and Thimanapalli Village, Kolar District, Karnataka. The arrested accused were produced before a competent court on Saturday, and investigation is ongoing.

CBI court extends remand of two accused in Rs 10.24 crore Greater Noida PNB fraud till November 12

The CBI is investigating an alleged fraud of Rs 10.24 crore at the Punjab National Bank Pai-1 branch in Greater Noida. The CBI court on Saturday granted five days' additional remand for bank employee Deepanshi and private individual Ashutosh Kumar Pathak after their earlier three-day remand ended. The CBI had sought more time, saying the amount was large and it needed to trace where the money withdrawn from customer accounts was sent and how it was used, and to identify others involved. The court also allowed face-to-face questioning. Both accused will remain in CBI custody until November 12 and are to be produced in court on November 13. The CBI registered an FIR on 29 October 2026 over alleged unauthorised withdrawal from customer accounts. Ashutosh Kumar Pathak was arrested in Pune.

Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court rules BNS modesty provision applies to transgender women

The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court on November 3, 2026 dismissed a criminal revision application filed by Vishal Sunil Ingle, an Agniveer in the Indian Army, who challenged rejection of his discharge application in Vishal Sunil Ingle v. State of Maharashtra. The complainant alleged that Ingle committed sexual assault under a false promise of marriage in October 2025. Ingle faced charges under Section 75 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 18(D) of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019. The defence argued that Section 75 applies only to a 'woman' defined as a female human being and could not apply to a transgender victim, and that the victim obtained a formal transgender identity certificate only after the alleged incidents. Justice Mehroz K Pathan held that the complainant's self-identification as a woman could not be questioned at the discharge stage and that allegations of assault and outraging the modesty of a woman can be sustained even where the victim is a transgender person who identifies as a woman. The court also held that delay in obtaining a formal certificate does not preclude penal provisions and directed the case to proceed to trial. Advocate Anil Thakkar appeared for Ingle, and Additional Public Prosecutor Swati V Kolhe appeared for the State.

4. Bombay High Court quashes Customs order citing non-existent AI-generated judgments

Bombay High Court quashes Customs order citing non-existent AI-generated judgments

The Bombay High Court set aside an August 11, 2026 order passed by the Customs Commissioner against Quanta Logistics Pvt Ltd in Quanta Logistics Pvt Ltd v. Commissioner of Customs (Import-I). A Bench of Justices MS Karnik and Sandesh D Patil acted after the petitioner argued that the adjudicating authority had relied on two Supreme Court judgments that did not exist in any database, which Senior Advocate Venkatesh Dhond described as possible AI hallucinations; the department failed to provide copies of the cited judgments when they were requested. The petitioner relied on the 2026 Supreme Court decision in Vijay Ghanshyam Gadiya v. Union of India, in which the apex court emphasised a zero-tolerance approach to the use of AI-generated precedents without due verification. The Customs department agreed that the order under challenge could be quashed and the matter reconsidered, and the High Court accordingly quashed the Customs order by consent and directed the petitioner to appear before the authority so that the matter can be examined afresh.

5. Bombay High Court quashes Minister's order converting Devsthan Inam land, says Ministers cannot usurp statutory powers

Bombay High Court quashes Minister's order converting Devsthan Inam land, says Ministers cannot usurp statutory powers

The Bombay High Court quashed clauses 2 to 5 of an order passed by a State Minister on April 28, 2014, which converted Devsthan Inam Class III land into Class I Old Tenure, directed the Tahsildar to declare certain private respondents as owners under Sections 32-G and 70-B of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, and granted permission under Section 43 for transfer of the land. Justice Amit Borkar held that the Minister could not arrogate statutory functions entrusted to authorities under the BTAL Act, relying on Suvarna Appasaheb Kshirsagar v. State of Maharashtra, which held that Section 8(3) of the Exemptions from Land Revenue (No. 1) Act, 1863 imposes an absolute bar on transfer or alienation of Devsthan Inam land. The Court said the statutory authority must independently examine facts and evidence, and that even a Chief Minister cannot assume such statutory functions, citing Chandrika Jha v. State of Bihar. The petition was Samasth Gavkari Mandal, Rithe (AOP) v. Krishna Tukaram Teli (Shelkar) [Writ Petition No. 5707 of 2017].
