New Delhi, A Delhi court on Saturday reserved its order on the question of taking cognisance of a prosecution complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against businessman Robert Vadra and others in a money laundering case linked to a 2008 land deal in Gurugram's Shikohpur village. The Special Court at the Rouse Avenue Court reserved the order after hearing submissions on the question of cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the federal anti-money laundering agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court said it would pronounce its decision on April 15. The ED has accused Vadra -- husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and son-in-law of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi -- of generating proceeds of crime through a fraudulent land transaction involving 3.53 acres of land in Haryana. The probe agency has further claimed that the proceeds were routed through multiple companies purportedly controlled by him. Earlier, the court had issued notice to Vadra and other proposed accused persons, in compliance with Section 223(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which mandates that an accused must be given an opportunity of being heard before cognisance is taken. "Issue notice to all the proposed accused persons arrayed in the complaint for hearing on the question of taking of cognisance," said the order passed…

Bombay High Court directs MNLU Nagpur to decide plea by nomadic tribe student for PhD seat

Bombay High Court directs MNLU Nagpur to decide plea by nomadic tribe student for PhD seat The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU) at Nagpur to decide on a grievance raised by a PhD aspirant from the Nomadic Tribe-C category (NT-C), who has alleged denial of a reserved seat in the doctoral programme [Dipak Namdev Kharat v. Maharashtra National Law University Nagpur & Ors.] A division bench of Justices Anil L Pansare and Nivedita P Mehta directed MNLU to take a decision on the candidate's representation by April 4. The Court was hearing a petition filed by Dipak Namdev Kharat who had applied for the PhD programme and appeared for the entrance examination. He was declared qualified on October 3, 2025 and was called for interview on January 5, 2026. According to Kharat’s plea, the provisional list of candidates eligible for admission, published on February 3, contained 26 names but did not include Kharat, despite one seat being earmarked for the NT-C category. He argued that the seat reserved for NT-C was instead allotted to an open category candidate, prompting Kharat to write to the University raising the grievance. According to the petition, the Doctoral Council reviewed Kharat's email complaint during its meeting on February 11. He was notified by the Convenor of the Doctoral Council via email on February 14 that a sub-committee had been formed to investigate the matter and would submit its recommendations at the earliest after which Kharat would receive an update.

5. ‘Erasing Self-Identity’: Plea In Supreme Court Against New Transgender Law Provisions

‘Erasing Self-Identity’: Plea In Supreme Court Against New Transgender Law Provisions

‘Erasing Self-Identity’: Plea In Supreme Court Against New Transgender Law Provisions ‘Erasing Self-Identity’: Plea In Supreme Court Against New Transgender Law Provisions Petitioners challenged the Transgender Amendment Act 2026 in the Supreme Court, alleging violation of the right to self-identified gender A writ petition has been filed before the Supreme Court challenging the constitutional validity of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, 2026, contending that the law dismantles the fundamental right of transgender persons to self-identify their gender as recognised in the landmark NALSA judgment. Filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, the petition filed by Advocate Nipun Katyal argues that the amendment inflicts “irreparable constitutional injury” by violating rights under Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21. It raises a core constitutional question: whether the State can legally define a person’s gender identity in place of their self-perception. The petitioners include a prominent transgender rights activist who was part of the original litigation leading to the 2014 NALSA judgment, and a corporate leader and member of the National Council for Transgender Persons. They argue that the amendment represents a direct legislative override of binding constitutional principles laid down by the Supreme Court. At the heart of the challenge is the amended definition of “transgender person.” The petition contends that the new provision replaces the earlier self-identification standard with a restrictive framework based on biological conditions and socio-cultural categories. According to the plea, this shift effectively excludes individuals who do not fall within specified categories such as hijra or intersex persons, thereby “erasing” a large section of the transgender community. The petition also criticises a provision that includes…
