Supreme Court Weighs Interim Bail for Arvind Kejriwal Amidst Legal Wrangle

May 4, 2024 - by thesundayheadlines

On May 3, 2024, Senior Advocate A.M. Singhvi, representing Arvind Kejriwal, concluded his arguments challenging the legality of the Delhi Chief Minister’s arrest. Singhvi reiterated his stance that the arrest did not adhere to the criteria outlined in Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, during the previous hearings. The Bench, after instructing Singhvi to wrap up his arguments, tasked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to the timing of Kejriwal’s arrest.

Singhvi highlighted that according to Section 50 of the PMLA, a person summoned by the ED does not assume the status of an “accused.” He emphasized that Kejriwal’s transformation into an accused coincided with his arrest on March 21, 2024, just five days after receiving the last summons. Singhvi also pointed out the lack of clarity regarding Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s involvement in the case, indicating that the evidence may not sufficiently implicate Kejriwal as the mastermind behind the Liquor Policy case.

The hearing delved into the interpretation of “reason to believe” as stipulated in Section 19, with Justice Khanna noting the importance of scrutinizing all relevant material in possession of the investigative agency. As arguments continued, the Court hinted at the possibility of considering interim bail for Kejriwal due to the protracted nature of the legal proceedings, especially with the looming elections on May 25. Further deliberations on this matter are slated for the upcoming sessions, with S.V. Raju scheduled to continue arguments on May 7, 2024.

Amidst the ongoing water crisis in Bengaluru, Prestige Falcon City Apartments and other residential welfare associations (RWAs) have taken measures to conserve water and mitigate the effects of disrupted supply. Following a crackdown on water tankers by regulatory authorities, Prestige Falcon City Apartments has advised its residents to consider using disposable cutlery and wet wipes to minimize water wastage.

By suggesting the use of disposable items, we aim to conserve water and navigate through this challenging situation,” he stated.

In addition to urging residents to use disposable items, RWAs across the city have implemented measures such as rationing water, banning vehicle washing, and monitoring water usage. A gated community in Whitefield has deployed security personnel to ensure compliance with water conservation guidelines. Residents failing to reduce water consumption may face additional charges, underscoring the severity of the situation.

Despite efforts to address the crisis, the water scarcity remains a pressing concern for residents. MP DK Suresh has provided assurance that steps will be taken to resolve the issue promptly. However, until a sustainable solution is achieved, residents are urged to cooperate with conservation efforts to alleviate the strain on water resources.

“Despite Farmer Protests at Delhi Borders, No Action Expected Today; Situation to Clear Up in 2-3 Days”

March 6, 2024March 6, 2024 - by Chirag Goyal

Despite ongoing farmer protests, Delhi police have stepped up surveillance and tightened security measures at all borders of Delhi. Section 144 has been imposed in several areas of Delhi, and no permission has been granted for any demonstrations.

New Delhi: Today marks the 23rd day of the farmer agitation. Once again, farmers are gearing up for the Delhi march. However, what’s noteworthy is that farmers from Haryana and Punjab are not participating in today’s protest. Instead, farmers from various parts of the country have begun marching towards Delhi. However, those coming from afar will not reach Delhi today; it will take them 2-3 days to arrive. Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher explained that it was previously announced that farmers from other states would join the protest march on March 6, but those coming from long distances will not reach Delhi today. He stated that farmers coming by road or train from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, or South India would take about 2-3 days to reach Delhi, hence the situation will clear up by March 10.

Haryana-Punjab Farmers Not Marching to Delhi –
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher clarified that farmers from neighboring states have already decided not to move forward. It’s clear that the farmers stationed at the Shambhu border in Punjab are not heading towards Delhi. Farmers from various states across the country have already set out for Delhi, and they will also take some time to arrive. Meanwhile, in view of the farmer protests, the police are on high alert. Police have increased surveillance at all Delhi borders and tightened security measures. Section 144 has been imposed in several areas of Delhi. No one has been granted permission to hold demonstrations.

Strict Security at Bus Terminals –
Railway Stations Farmers had announced that they would once again reach Delhi on Wednesday to protest. Farmer organizations – Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and United Farmers Front (non-political) had called on farmers from across the country to reach Delhi on Wednesday. Police and paramilitary forces have been deployed at Singhu and Tikri borders. Additional police and paramilitary forces have already been deployed at railway and metro stations and bus terminals, as stated by a senior police officer. No one will be allowed to violate the law.

‘Rail Roko Andolan’ by Farmers on March 10
It’s worth mentioning that farmers have also called for a nationwide ‘Rail Roko Andolan’ (rail blockade protest) for 4 hours on March 10 in support of their various demands, including legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) for crops. It should be noted that farmers began their protest march on February 13, but their attempt to march to Delhi was thwarted by the police. This led to clashes at the Haryana-Punjab border, and tear gas shells were also fired. Farmer leaders Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal have stated that the sacrifices of farmers will not go in vain. The struggle will continue until demands are met.

“Delhi High Court Raises Income Limit for EWS Admissions in Schools to Rs 2.5 Lakh”

March 6, 2024March 6, 2024 - by Chirag Goyal

The Delhi High Court has revised the annual income limit for school admissions in Delhi under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category to Rs 2.5 lakh. This decision follows a petition filed by the Directorate of Education (DOE) challenging a previous ruling by Justice Kaurav. The court emphasized the need for the government to consider the beneficiaries’ living standards, highlighting Delhi’s comparatively lower threshold compared to other states.

NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court revised its previous order regarding the annual income limit for admissions to Delhi schools under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category.

During the hearing, a division bench led by acting Chief Justice Manmohan increased the existing threshold from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh. The court considered a petition filed by the Delhi government’s Directorate of Education (DOE), contesting a December 14 ruling issued by a bench headed by Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav.

Justice Kaurav’s ruling suggested raising the current income threshold for EWS reservation in the city to Rs 5 lakh until the Delhi government revises the threshold. The court urged the government to set the threshold at a level commensurate with the living standards of the intended beneficiaries.

The judge argued that the current threshold fails to accurately reflect the economic challenges faced by families today. Delhi’s requirement was notably lower compared to the Rs 8 lakh annual threshold adopted by most states.

According to the Delhi School Education (Free Seats for Students Belonging to Economically Weaker Sections and Disadvantaged Group) Order, 2011, children whose parents earn less than Rs 1 lakh per year and have resided in the Capital for the past three years are eligible for admission under the EWS quota. During Tuesday’s proceedings, the DOE, represented by standing counsel Santosh Kumar Tripathi, expressed concerns that the sudden increase in the threshold could negatively impact labor candidates earning Rs 1 lakh. Additionally, it could undermine the fundamental right to free and compulsory education guaranteed by Article 21A of the Constitution.

Media reports indicate that Tripathi further argued that the current admission system in the EWS category, based on parents’ self-declaration of income, was sufficient and did not require any alterations. He also contended that the government was unable to comply with the single judge’s directives as the admission process had already begun in November.

Moreover, the court stated that the ruling would remain in effect until changes were made to the 2011 reservation scheme. The Delhi School Education (Free Seats for Students Belonging to Economically Weaker Sections and Disadvantaged Group) Order, 2011, mandates schools in Delhi to reserve at least 25% of Class 1 seats for students from the EWS category. This order also ensures that these students receive free and compulsory elementary education in accordance with the Right to Education Act.

March 6, 2024March 6, 2024 - by Chirag Goyal

“Gold Smugglers Employ Ingenious Method, Tamper with Aircraft Wiring to Conceal 4.5kg Gold Bars”

March 6, 2024March 6, 2024 - by Chirag Goyal

In a daring and inventive move, gold smugglers manipulated the wiring of an Indigo aircraft, using the lavatory roof to conceal 4.5kg of gold secured with a padlock and a code lock. The authorities discovered rectangular gold bars, wrapped in black adhesive tape, hidden inside the lavatory’s electrical box. There are suspicions that the smugglers had insider knowledge, and the gold may have been intended for transport to Hyderabad.

CHENNAI: Gold smuggling reached unprecedented levels of sophistication as adept individuals interfered with the wiring of an Indigo aircraft, gaining access through the toilet roof and concealing 4.5kg of gold by attaching it to wires, then securing it with a three-digit code lock. The rectangular gold bars, each featuring a central hole, were fastened to a padlock, with a wire threaded through them.

The loose end of the wire was affixed with a number-coded lock, indicating that only someone with insider access to the code could retrieve the contraband upon arrival at Chennai airport.

“The ease with which the smuggler(s) accessed the aircraft component suggests a deep understanding of aircraft mechanics and the ability to conceal items using specialized tools,” remarked a seasoned pilot, speaking anonymously. When queried about potential threats to passenger safety, the pilot emphasized that lavatories are designed to prevent access to critical elements, minimizing the risk of sabotage. “The lavatory typically contains basic electrical wiring for lighting, ventilation, and smoke detection,” explained the pilot, noting that accessing such components would require specialized equipment.

The smuggling attempt came to light when maintenance workers discovered tampering in the aircraft’s electrical box during routine sanitization. The Indigo flight, arriving from Abu Dhabi on Thursday night, was moments away from departing to Hyderabad on a domestic route. Upon alerting safety officers, the electrical box was inspected, revealing a cable connected to other wires and securing a heavy package with a padlock at one end. Authorities were forced to sever the cable and break open the padlock to access three rectangular gold bars, meticulously wrapped in black adhesive tape.

Authorities have acknowledged the gravity of the situation, launching an investigation into this novel smuggling method. “Smugglers employ extreme tactics to evade detection by law enforcement, and the individual responsible for transporting the gold likely underwent thorough training to conceal the contraband mid-flight,” stated a customs official. Suspicions have arisen that ground staff at Chennai airport may have been complicit in facilitating the extraction and delivery of the gold, or that the consignment was intended for transport to Hyderabad.
