Santiago Martin, family moves Madras HC challenging attachment of properties by ED Santiago Martin, family moves Madras HC challenging attachment of properties by ED ED had first registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against Martin and others in 2014, on the basis of a CBI chargesheet The Madras High Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on a set of 39 appeals filed by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) minister Aadhav Arjuna’s wife, his father-in-law and lottery operator Santiago Martin, his mother-in-law, and several entities associated or operated by the Martin family, challenging the attachment of properties worth over ₹900 crore, in a money laundering case. The bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan directed ED special public prosecutor N Ramesh to accept notice on the appeals and connected interim applications seeking a stay on the attachment proceedings. The appeals filed by Santiago Martin, his wife and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) MLA Leema Rose, and his daughter, challenge an order of the Appellate Tribunal passed on May 30, 2025, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), which upheld ED’s provisional attachment order of June 9, 2023 and refused to interfere with an earlier adjudicating authority order confirming the attachment. The batch of appeals also include those filed by several companies and firms linked to the Martin family.

Online consumers lose over ₹25,000 cr to online traps despite norms: Survey

Online consumers lose over ₹25,000 cr to online traps despite norms: Survey Online consumers lose over ₹25,000 cr to online traps despite norms: Survey The report said dark patterns risked becoming embedded in everyday online transactions unless compliance and enforcement improve substantially Indian consumers continue to lose anywhere between ₹25,000 crore ($2.6 billion) and ₹28,000 crore ($2.9 billion) annually to deceptive design practices, with enforcement struggling to keep pace, according to a new industry report. The report estimated that dark patterns, tactics that lead users into making purchases they did not intend to make, also put nearly ₹55,000 crore in gross merchandise value (GMV) at risk as frustrated users cut spending, switch platforms, or abandon purchases altogether. The report, released by market research firm Datum Intelligence, pegged the annual economic footprint of dark patterns at ₹80,000 to 83,000 crore, equivalent to roughly 7.5 to 7.8% of India’s digital commerce market, which is projected to rise to $266 billion by 2030. It said that dark patterns risked becoming embedded in everyday online transactions unless compliance and enforcement improve substantially. The findings come over two years after the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) notified guidelines prohibiting 13 categories of dark patterns, including false urgency, basket sneaking, drip pricing, and subscription traps. In November last year, the government announced that 26 leading e-commerce platforms had voluntarily submitted self-declaration letters confirming compliance with the Guidelines for Prevention and Regulation of Dark Patterns, 2023. But the report, “’Dark Patterns in India’s Online Marketplaces”, said compliance remains weak across India’s online marketplaces. The report examined 12 major online platforms across e-commerce, quick…
