Appeals court rejects Peter Navarro’s bid to retain hundreds of presidential records

[ad_1]

Navarro acknowledged that at least 200 to 250 records in his possession belong to the government, but he contended that no mechanism exists to enforce that requirement — and that doing so might violate his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly rejected that claim, ordering Navarro to promptly return the records he had identified as belonging to the government.
But Navarro appealed the decision, rejecting the notion that the Justice Department had any legitimate mechanism to force him to return the records. And he urged the court to stay Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling while his appeal was pending. But the appeals court panel — which included Judges Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins, both appointees of President Barack Obama, and Judge Neomi Rao, an appointee of President Donald Trump — rejected Navarro’s stay request.
Within minutes, Kollar-Kotelly put the squeeze on Navarro, ordering him to turn over the 200 to 250 records “on or before” Friday. She also ordered him to perform additional searches or presidential records that might be in his possession by May 8, with further proceedings scheduled for later in the month.
The flurry of filings is the latest twist in a saga that began when the National Archives discovered that Navarro had relied on a ProtonMail account to do official government business — the result of a congressional investigation into the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus crisis.
Navarro is also trying to fend off criminal charges for defying a different congressional investigation — the probe by the Jan. 6 select committee — into his role in strategizing to help Trump overturn the results of the 2020 election. He faces charges for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena issued by the select committee, a case that has been repeatedly delayed amid battles over executive privilege and immunity for presidential advisers.
In its brief order rejecting Navarro’s stay, the appeals court panel concluded that returning the documents would not violate Navarro’s protection against self-incrimination.
“Navarro has failed to articulate any cognizable Fifth Amendment injury,” the panel wrote. “Because the records were voluntarily created, and he has conceded both that they are in his possession and that they are the property of the United States, the action of physically returning the United States’ records to it will not implicate his [Fifth Amendment right].”
It was not immediately clear whether Navarro would appeal the panel’s ruling.

Justice Department attorneys argued that despite Navarro’s claim, there is a method for the government to enforce its ownership interest in the records Navarro has acknowledged retaining — a provision of the Washington, D.C., code. That statute, known as “replevin,” provides a mechanism for property owners to reclaim stolen materials even while court proceedings are pending.
Navarro has contended that this procedure was not contemplated in federal recordkeeping laws and had never been used to enforce the return of presidential records before. But the appeals court panel said he had “not adequately demonstrated that the United States cannot proceed under the replevin statute.”
However, the panel said it would not “prejudge” any additional arguments about that issue that might be made as the case proceeds.

Jaipur serial blasts: Rajasthan BJP says SLP will be filed in Supreme Court

[ad_1]
Jaipur: A Special Leave Petition will be filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of the family members of the victims of the 2008 Jaipur serial bomb blasts against the Rajasthan High Court verdict acquitting four people previously accused in the case, a senior BJP leader said on Wednesday.
Leader of opposition in Rajasthan Assembly Rajendra Rathore said he will visit Delhi on Thursday for this.
Rathore and other party leaders, including BJP state president CP Joshi, attended a dharna at Ramlila ground at Sanganeri gate on Wednesday. After the dharna, a candle march was also taken out.

The family members of those who were killed or injured in the blasts took part in the protest.
“I assure that the BJP is standing with the victims until they get justice,” Rathore said.
Joshi questioned why the Congress government could not engage good lawyers to ensure justice to the victims.
“It is understood from the verdict that the Congress government is definitely an anti-Hindu government. Sometimes it bans Ram Navami (processions), and sometimes it fails to save people like Kanhaiya Lal,” he said.
Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Udaipur, was hacked to death in July last year by two men who said in a video posted online that they had avenged an insult to Islam.

On March 29 this year, the Rajasthan High Court acquitted four people accused in the Jaipur blasts case on the ground of shoddy investigation. The four were awarded the capital punishment by a lower court.
The BJP has accused the state government of presenting a weak case which led to their acquittal.
The state government said it will file a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court against the verdict.
A lower court in December 2019 awarded the death sentence to Mohammad Sarwar Azmi, Mohammad Saif, Mohammad Salman and Saifur Rahman and acquitted the fifth accused Shahbaz Hussain while giving benefit of doubt.
Jaipur was rocked by a series of blasts on May 13, 2008, when bombs went off one after another at Manak Chawk Khanda, Chandpole Gate, Badi Chaupad, Chhoti Chaupad, Tripolia Gate, Johri Bazar and Sanganeri Gate.

2020 Delhi riots: Court acquits father-son duo of rioting, arson charges in 2 cases

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A court here has acquitted a father-son duo of the charges of rioting and arson during the 2020 North East Delhi communal conflagration, saying there was no incriminating evidence against them.
Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing two cases pertaining to the 2020 riots based on three complaints against Mithhan Singh and his son Jony Kumar.
According to the prosecution, the duo was part of a riotous mob that set ablaze houses, including those of the complainants, after identifying the properties of people from a particular community, in lane number 29 of Khajuri Khas on February 25.

“…Both both accused are hereby acquitted of all the charges levelled against them in this case,” ASJ Pramachala said in the judgments passed on Monday.
In both orders, the judge noted citing prosecution witnesses that though the presence of an unlawful assembly which engaged in rioting, vandalism and arson was established, they did not identify the duo.
“Hence, it was realised that there was no incriminating evidence at all against both the accused persons, so as to seek any explanation from them,” the judge said.
The Khajuri Khas police station had filed charge sheets against the two for various offences under the Indian Penal Code, including rioting and mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy house, etc.

Atiq’s sister offers to surrender in court

[ad_1]
Prayagraj: Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed’s sister, Ayesha Noori has expressed her desire to surrender before the court.
The chief judicial magistrate (CJM), Prayagraj has now sought report from Dhoomanganj police station in response to an application moved Noori.
The CJM has fixed April 13 as next date for hearing of the matter.

In her application, Ayesha Noori said she came to know through a media report that she has been termed as an accused in the Umesh Pal murder case.
“Since I have been made accused in the case, I wish to surrender before the court in order to pray for bail,” she said.
She requested the CJM to obtain report from the police in this connection.
Ayesha’s husband, Akhlaq Ahmed, a Meerut-based doctor was arrested by the special task force (STF) on April 2 from his Meerut residence and was taken to Prayagraj in connection with Umesh Pal murder case.
He was later sent to jail in 14 days judicial custody.

It is alleged that Akhlaq provided shelter and money to the killers of Umesh Pal, the key witness in the murder case of BSP MLA Raju Pal. He was then taken to Prayagraj.
It is alleged that Akhlaq, who was posted at Abdullapur Community Health Centre, not only provided shelter to the killers of Umesh Pal, but also money when they reached Meerut after the murder.
Subsequently, after the arrest of Akhlaq, his wife Ayesha Noori, too, was wanted in this connection.
Ayesha Noori came to limelight when she followed the cavalcade of police carrying Atiq from Sabarmati jail to Prayagraj to be produced before the court at the time of pronouncement of verdict in connection with Umesh Pal abduction case on March 28.
Pal and his two police security guards were shot dead on February 24, 2023, outside his home in the Dhoomanganj police station area.
On a complaint lodged by Umesh Pal’s wife Jaya, a case was registered at Dhoomanganj police station against Atiq, his brother Ashraf, two sons, his aides Guddu Muslim and Ghulam and nine others.

Satyender Jain moves court seeking transfer of two CBI, ED cases against him

[ad_1]
New Delhi: AAP leader Satyender Jain has moved a Delhi court seeking transfer of two cases lodged against him by the CBI and the ED for alleged corruption and money laundering to another judge.
Jain informed Special Judge Vikas Dhull, hearing both the cases, on Tuesday that he has filed applications before Principal District and Sessions Judge for transfer of the cases.
The Principal District judge has stayed the proceedings in the corruption case filed by the CBI till May 4, when he is scheduled to hear the arguments on the application, while he is likely to hear a similar application in the ED’s money laundering case on April 13.

Jain requested Special Judge Dhull to adjourn the matter “to see the outcome of said transfer applications”.
On court’s query, ED’s Special Public Prosecutor confirmed receiving the advance copy of the application in the money laundering matter.
The court, thereafter, adjourned the proceedings.
The ED had initiated money laundering investigation on the basis of a First Information Report (FIR) registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 24, 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act against Jain and others.
The CBI alleged that Jain, while holding the office as a Minister in the Government of Delhi during February 14, 2015 to May 31, 2017, had acquired assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

Hate speech: Guj court reserves order on Kajal Hindustani’s bail plea

[ad_1]
Gir Somnath: A court in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district on Tuesday reserved its order on a bail plea filed by right-wing activist Kajal Hindustani in a case of her alleged “hate speech” on Ram Navami that caused a communal clash in Una town.
The court of additional sessions judge R M Asodiya reserved its order on Hindustani’s bail plea for April 13, additional public prosecutor Moham Gohel said.
The state government opposed the bail plea citing that the activist’s speech on Ram Navami hurt the sentiments of the Muslim community and subsequently led to the communal clash, Gohel said.

Hindustani had moved sessions court on Monday after a court of additional chief judicial magistrate rejected her bail and sent her to 14-day judicial custody after her surrender on April 9.
Hindustani’s speech on Ram Navami festival on March 30 caused a communal clash in Una town on April 1.
The police lodged an FIR against her on April 2 under sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 295 A (deliberate or malicious act intending to outrage religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Hindustani, who identifies herself as an entrepreneur, research analyst, debater, social activist, and nationalist and a “proud Indian” on her Twitter bio and has over 92,000 followers, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and is a regular at events organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
She is known for her fiery speeches targeting the minority community, including the one she delivered at a ‘Hindu Sammelan’ organised by the VHP on the occasion of Ram Navami.

Communal tension prevailed in Una for two days, which led to clash and stone pelting between two communities on April 1.
The police have arrested 96 people and registered an FIR against 76 named persons and a mob of around 200 people under various IPC sections including 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 337 (rash or negligent act to cause hurt), 143 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting) and 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapons).

Three Bills accorded assent by Telangana governer: Supreme Court

[ad_1]
Delhi: Telangana governor’s office on Monday told the Supreme Court that assent has been given to three Bills passed by the state legislature and two others have been reserved for consideration and assent of the President.
A bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala was told by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that he has received a communication dated April 9 from the secretary to the governor of Telangana in regard to the position of the Bills, which were submitted to the governor for assent.
The bench took the letter on record and noted that the assents of governor were given for the Bills which include The Telangana Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Bill, 2022, The Telangana Municipalities (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and The Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

It noted that two Bills which were reserved for consideration and assent of the President are The University of Forestry Telangana Bill, 2022 and The Telangana Universities Common Recruitment Board Bill, 2022.
The bench recorded in its order that the Bills which are under active consideration of the governor are The Telangana State Private Universities (Establishment and Regulation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022, The Telangana Municipal Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022 and The Telangana Public Employment (Regulation of Age of Superannuation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022.
“The statement indicates that certain clarifications have been sought by the Governor from the State Government in regard to Telangana Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill 2023,” the bench said in its order.
It added that it has been stated that the Azamabad Industrial Area (Termination and Regulation of Leases) (Amendment) Bill 2022 has not been submitted as yet by the Law Department to the governor for consideration and assent.
The court posted the matter for further hearing on April 24.

On March 27, the top court had deferred to April 10 the hearing on the Telangana government’s plea seeking directions to the state governor to clear 10 Bills that have been passed by the assembly but are awaiting gubernatorial assent.
The top court was told by Mehta that he had some discussion with the governor on the issue and would make a statement on the next date of hearing.
Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the Telangana government, had said that in Madhya Pradesh, the governor grants assent to Bills within seven days while in Gujarat, Bills are cleared within a month.
On March 20, the top court sought the Centre’s response on the plea filed by the state government.
It had clarified that the court will not issue notice to the office of governor but would like to see the reply of the Union of India on the state government’s plea.
On March 14, the apex court agreed to hear a petition filed by the Telangana government seeking directions to the state governor to clear 10 pending Bills passed by legislative assembly but are awaiting gubernatorial assent.
The court had agreed to hear the plea, after Dave mentioned it for urgent listing, saying several Bills of public importance are stuck.
The state government has said in its petition it is constrained to move the apex court under Article 32 of the Constitution in view of a “constitutional impasse” created on account of refusal of the governor to act on several Bills passed by the state legislature.
It said Article 200 of the Constitution empowers the governor to either give assent to a Bill passed by the state assembly or to withhold the assent or reserve the Bill for consideration of the President.
“This power has to be exercised as soon as possible,” it said.
The state government said several Bills passed by the assembly, including the Telangana Municipal Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022, Telangana Public Employment (Regulation of Age of Superannuation) Amendment Bill 2022 and Telangana Universities Common Recruitment Board Bill, 2022, are awaiting Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan’s nod.
Soundararajan, a former Tamil Nadu BJP chief, is locked in a running feud with the BRS government in Telangana.
