Jagan visits Sai Krishna’s family, demands CBI probe into alleged custodial death

Jagan visits Sai Krishna’s family, demands CBI probe into alleged custodial death YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Chief Minister Y. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday visited the residence of Gade Sai Krishna in Krishnalanka here and met his mother, Gade Vijayalakshmi, amid continuing controversy over the alleged custodial death of the youth. Jagan Mohan Reddy consoled the grieving mother and interacted with the family members, assuring them of support in their pursuit of justice. The visit comes against the backdrop of allegations that Sai Krishna died while in police custody and that authorities attempted to conceal the circumstances surrounding his death. Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that complaints submitted by the victim’s family were ignored by authorities and claimed that attempts had been made to bring pressure on Sai Krishna’s mother. The family had been forced to approach the High Court through a habeas corpus petition after failing to receive satisfactory answers from the police, he said. The former Chief Minister contended that the suspension of Circle Inspector Nagaraju was not sufficient and argued that the action itself amounted to an acknowledgement that serious wrongdoing had occurred. “The officer was linked to more than one death-related incident,” he said and questioned why stronger legal action had not been initiated against him. Jagan Mohan Reddy further alleged that senior police officials, including the City Police Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner of Police and the Director General of Police, should also be investigated in connection with the case.

Reassessing Jindal Poly Films: The curious case of privatised class action and the Section 245 Dilemma

Reassessing Jindal Poly Films: The curious case of privatised class action and the Section 245 Dilemma The Supreme Court's arbitration reference in Jindal Poly Films leaves many questions unanswered. A 3-paragraph consent order moved India's first admitted shareholder class action out of the Companies Act, past the logic of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and into a private forum that cannot bind the class. On June 8, 2026, a Bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Atul S Chandurkar disposed of Jindal Poly Films Ltd v. Monet Securities Pvt Ltd in a brief consent order. Both sides presented signed draft minutes; the Court appointed former Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava as sole arbitrator with Delhi as the seat; the petition was disposed of; and the NCLT and NCLAT orders both confined to maintainability were set aside, with all contentions kept open. Read alone, it is an unremarkable consensual disposal. Read in context, it quietly ended what is arguably India's first major admitted shareholder class action under Section 245 of the Companies Act, 2013, a provision notified in June 2016, dormant for 8 years and now extinguished without a word of substantive engagement from the Supreme Court. The petition, filed in March 2024 by shareholders holding 4.99% of Jindal Poly Films, alleged that promoter-linked transactions - particularly the sale of OCPS and RPS in Jindal Powertech to the SSJ Trust and Jindal Poly Investment for roughly ₹105 crore against a claimed fair value of several thousand crore - loan write-offs and an undervalued subsidiary stake sale caused losses that FTI Consulting estimated at over ₹2,500 crore.

How can we stop rights of 150 million users for exams? Delhi HC reserves verdict in Telegram challenge to ban

How can we stop rights of 150 million users for exams? Delhi HC reserves verdict in Telegram challenge to ban The Delhi High Court on Thursday reserved its verdict on the petition filed by instant messaging platform Telegram challenging the decision to ban its operations in India till June 22 in view of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test undergraduate (NEET-UG) re-exams. During the course of the hearing, Justice Tejas Karia asked counsel for the Central government, "How can we stop the rights of 150 million people just because one set of citizens are appearing in examinations?" At the outset of today's hearing, the Court asked Senior Advocate Dhruv Mehta, appearing for Telegram, "Just to understand your argument, you are questioning the nature of the power here by saying it's not an emergency. Second, you are saying information can be blocked, not the entire platform and third is application of mind by the Secretary and proportionality?" After Mehta agreed, the Court asked, "What it seems is that there were series of meetings and you were not able to satisfy...What is your take? Were you able to satisfy the government with regards to the steps you have taken to meet the situation?" The Court then focussed on the government's powers under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, under which the blocking order was issued. "...whether they have exercised the power appropriately and whether there is proportionality. Also is it violating the fundamental rights of the users? You say you have 150 million users." Mehta then submitted that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) Secretary did not apply his mind while issuing the order.
