Bombay high court orders action on 6 allottees for giving rehab flats to school TNN / Apr 11, 2026, 12:57 (IST) The Bombay high court has ordered the MMRDA to take action against six slum rehabilitation flat allottees in Govandi who leased their homes for a school. The court also directed action aga MUMBAI: The Bombay high court has directed the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to take appropriate action and pass an order against six allottees in a slum rehabilitation scheme building in Govandi who gave their flats for running a school. It has also directed action against the principal of the school. Justices Makarand Karnik and Shriram Modak on Tuesday felt it proper to direct the MMRDA to pass the order for the reason that if provisions of Section 3(E) (restrictions on transfer of tenements) of the MaharashtraSlum Areas Act are breached, necessary consequences are bound to follow, including handing over possession of those flats and its disposal. “We feel MMRDA can do it in a more effective way,” the court said. The petition by Bharat Ekta CHSL said six allottees on the ground floor of building number 18 allowed Pearls English School that has “hundreds of students” to use their 225 square feet flats. Their advocates Dheeraj Patil and Nitin Jagtap said MMRDA confirmed unauthorised use of those flats but did not take action. The judges noted that the six allottees were served notice but chose not to remain present. BMC confirmed theschool was running without permissions and notices were issued for closure and shifting students to a nearby BMC school.

Orissa high court quashes deregistration of PhD scholar by Fakir Mohan University TNN / Apr 11, 2026, 13:39 (IST) The Orissa high court has reinstated a woman PhD scholar's registration at Fakir Mohan University, overturning her de-registration. The court granted her a final opportunity to complete CUTTACK: The Orissa High Court has set aside deregistration of a woman PhD scholar of Fakir Mohan University, Balasore, granting her another opportunity to complete her doctoral studies. A single judge bench of Justice Ananda Chandra Behera issued the order on Friday, while considering the petition filed by the student challenging the university’s May 28, 2025 order issued by its Controller of Examinations, which had cancelled her PhD registration citing repeated failure to complete the programme and non-payment of fees. During the hearing, counsel appearing for the university and the state opposed the plea, arguing that “the conduct and attitude of the petitioner is not at all justifying her for the renewal of her Ph.D registration number.” They contended that she was “a continuous defaulter” who had failed in several attempts to complete her PhD and had been de-registered at the instance of her own guide. Taking note of the submissions, Justice Behera, however, ruled in favour of giving the student a final chance. He observed that “when the petitioner is eagerly interested to complete her Ph.D… only in order to achieve the last goal of her life,” denying relief would not be justified.” Accordingly, Justice Behera quashed the impugned order and directed the university authorities to renew the petitioner’s PhD registration number in accordance with UGC norms within 15 days from the date of submission of the certified copy of the judgment. The Court also asked the university to permit her to continue her research under a guide as per applicable regulations. While disposing of the petition Justice Behera further noted that restoring her registration would not adversely affect any party and “shall be in the best interest of the petitioner as well as the society at large.”…

Delhi High Court Upholds Fugitive Economic Offender Tag On Sanjay Bhandari

Delhi High Court Upholds Fugitive Economic Offender Tag On Sanjay Bhandari Delhi High Court Upholds Fugitive Economic Offender Tag On Sanjay Bhandari Delhi High Court dismisses Sanjay Bhandari’s plea challenging his declaration as a fugitive economic offender, upholding trial court order. The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea filed by UK based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari challenging his declaration as a “fugitive economic offender”, thereby upholding the trial court’s order and dealing a significant legal setback to him. Pronouncing the verdict, Justice Neena Bansal Krishna succinctly stated that the “appeal is dismissed,” affirming the findings of the Tis Hazari court which had invoked provisions of the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018 against Bhandari. The High Court was hearing Bhandari’s appeal against the 05.07.2025 order passed by District Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal, who had concluded that the material on record satisfied the statutory requirements under Section 12(1) of the Act to declare him a fugitive economic offender. Bhandari, who has been residing in London since 2016 after leaving India amid investigations, was represented by senior advocate Kapil Sibal along with a team of lawyers. The Enforcement Directorate was represented by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju and other law officers. The trial court, in its earlier order, had underscored that the failure of extradition proceedings does not weaken the case against an accused. It had observed that the inability of authorities to secure the return of the accused to India does not grant immunity from prosecution or diminish the seriousness of the allegations.
