Raj Muslim men death: Community refuses last rites, demands compensation

[ad_1]
Jaipur: In wake of the discovery of the charred bodies of two local men in Haryana’s Rewari district on Friday, a community panchayat was held in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur where families of the deceased sought compensation of Rs 51 lakh and a government job each and refused to perform last rites till their demands were met.
Many people from surrounding villages of Bharatpur reached Ghatmika village for the meeting, where Rajasthan Minister Zahida Khan was also present.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, condemning the killing of Junaid, 35, and Nasir, 28, said that one accused has been detained in the case and search is on for remaining accused.
“The killing of two residents of Bharatpur’s Ghatmika, in Haryana is condemnable. Rajasthan and Haryana Police are taking action in coordination. One accused has been detained and search is on for the remaining accused. Rajasthan Police has been directed to take strict action,” he said.
Earlier, the family and society agreed on Rs 20 lakh compensation, but then refused to perform the last rites as soon as the minister returned. The families said that the amount of Rs 20 lakh is too less.
Before this, community members held a meeting for three hours.
Meanwhile, the minister also claimed that police had arrested one of the accused, while Gopalgarh police in Bharatpur identified the arrested accused as Rinku Saini.
Ghatmika village is near Haryana border and Junaid’s cousin Ismail had registered a case of kidnapping and assault of both at Gopalgarh police station in Bharatpur on Wednesday. Now, charges of murder have been added.

Bodies of both Junaid and Nasir reached Ghatmika village on Thursday night, after which there was pandemonium.
Tension stkill prevails in the village and the police of three police stations have been alerted.
The family alleged that their SUV was stopped on Wednesday morning, on the suspicion of cow-smuggling, after hitting the vehicle and the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) team of Ferozepur-Jhirka was present there. Both youths were first severely beaten, and handed over to Bajrang Dal team in a half-dead condition and taken to the police station. But the police refused to take them into custody after seeing their condition.
Both were then burnt alive along with the Bolero and the bodies of the duo were found on Wednesday night near Loharu village of Bhiwani.
At the same time, a claim is also being made that Junaid and Nasir were thrashed and kidnapped along with the SUV by some Bajrang Dal members from Piruka village in Bharatpur on Wednesday morning, before being burnt alive in Haryana. Police have however termed this allegation false.

Adani row: SC refuses to accept Centre’s suggestions on expert panel in sealed cover

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to accept in a sealed cover the Centre’s suggestion on a proposed panel of experts for strengthening regulatory measures for the stock market.
Observing that it wants to maintain full transparency in the interests of investors, a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala said it would rather not accept the Centre’s suggestion in a sealed cover.
“We will not accept the sealed cover suggestion by you because we want to maintain full transparency,” the bench said.
On February 10, the top court had said the interests of Indian investors need to be protected against market volatility in the backdrop of the Adani Group stock rout and asked the Centre to consider setting up a panel of domain experts headed by a former judge to look into strengthening the regulatory mechanism.
Till now, four PILs have been filed in the top court on the issue by lawyers M L Sharma and Vishal Tiwari, Congress leader Jaya Thakur and activist Mukesh Kumar.
Adani Group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after the Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, against the business conglomerate.
The Adani Group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements.

SC refuses to grant relief to Rapido against denial of licence in Maharashtra

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to grant relief to bike-taxi aggregator Rapido against denial of licence to it by the Maharashtra government.
The top court noted that amendments made to the Motor Vehicles Act in 2019 make it clear that aggregators cannot operate without a valid licence.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala noted that Pune’s Regional Transport Office (RTO) had rejected its plea for licence in December 21 last year.
The bench said Roppen Transportation Services Private Limited (Rapido) can approach the Bombay High Court challenging the notification of the state government dated January 19, which had prohibited the use of “non-transport vehicle” from car pooling
It stated that the validity of the order of the RTO in December last year would stand subsumed by the subsequent wider decision of the state government.
During the hearing, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the bike-taxi aggregator, said the Maharashtra government does not have a scheme for two-wheelers, and therefore, the application for licence has been wrongly rejected.
He said certain conditions, which were necessary to obtain a licence, were actually impossible to achieve for the company.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, along with advocates Siddharth Dharmadhikari and Abhikalp Pratap Singh, appearing for the state government said, “State is examining whether to have two-wheelers or not as taxi for safety and traffic consideration. We are not saying, we don’t have a policy”.

The top court noted in its order that effect of amended provisions in the Motor Vehicles Act is that no person can engage himself as an aggregator without a licence from such authority and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the state government.
It said in terms of first proviso of section 93 of Motor Vehicles Act, the state government while issuing the licence to an aggregator may follow such guidelines as issued by the central government and the general rule making power has been entrusted to the state government.
The bench noted that Rapido’s application for licence was rejected on the ground that it didn’t comply with the terms and conditions of the state’s guidelines of 2020.
On January 27, the top court had agreed to hear the plea of Rapido against the Bombay High Court order directing it to suspend its services in Maharashtra immediately for operating without a licence from the state government.
On January 13, the high court had pulled up the aggregator for operating without procuring a license from the Maharashtra government and directed it to suspend the services immediately.
It had warned Rapido to either suspend its bike taxi services immediately or the court would issue directions to state authorities to permanently bar the company from getting any licence.
It had noted that in the absence of a licence, the company cannot run its services in an unregulated manner.
Rapido had moved the high court against a communication issued to it by the state government on December 29, 2022 refusing to grant a bike taxi aggregator’s licence.
The state government had in its letter said it had no policy on the licensing of bike taxis nor a fare structure for them.
The company had assured the high court it will suspend its services till January 20 when the court would hear the matter further.

Government refuses to comment on Adani Group crisis

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The government on Wednesday refused to comment on the fraud allegations levelled by a US short seller on Adani Group, which triggered a massive USD 90-billion rout in the group firms’ shares, saying it does not comment on individual company matters.
“We in government don’t respond to issues related to a particular company,” Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth said during the post Budget interaction with media here.
Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran on Tuesday had also refused to comment on the impact of the rout in Adani Group shares following a damning report by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research.
Shares of Adani Group firms slumped on Wednesday and have lost more than Rs 7 lakh crore or about 38 per cent of their combined market cap in the last five trading sessions amid concerns over US-based short seller Hindenburg Research’s report.
Adani Group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after Hindenburg in the report made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share price manipulation, at the Gautam Adani-led group.
Hindenburg released the report on January 24 — the day on which Adani Enterprises’ Rs 20,000-crore follow-on share sale opened for anchor investors, while the allegations have been rejected by the conglomerate.
At the end of Wednesday’s trading session, all the group companies settled in negative territory with shares of three companies hit their lowest price band.
Shares of Adani Enterprises nosedived 28.45 percent to close at Rs 2,128.70 on the BSE despite the company’s Rs 20,000-crore share sale sailed through on the last day on Tuesday after non-retail investors bid in big volumes. There was, however, a muted response from retail investors and company employees.
The counter of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone plunged 19.69 percent, Adani Total Gas slumped 10 percent, Adani Green Energy declined 5.78 percent, Adani Wilmar fell 4.99 percent, Adani Wilmar went down 4.99 percent, Adani Power dropped 4.98 percent and Adani Transmission slipped 2.46 percent.

In addition, Ambuja Cements tanked 16.56 percent, while ACC dropped 6.34 percent and NDTV went down 4.98 percent.

Ahobilam Mutt temple: SC refuses to entertain plea against AP HC order

[ad_1]
New Delhi: “Let the religious people deal with it,” the Supreme Court said on Friday while refusing to entertain a plea against an Andhra Pradesh High Court order holding that the state of Andhra Pradesh had no authority under law to appoint an executive officer to the Ahobilam mutt temple.
A bench of Justices S K Kaul and A S Oka said Andhra Pradesh has no authority, jurisdiction or entitlement under law to appoint an executive officer of the ‘Sri Ahobila Mutt Parampara Aadheena Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam’ (Ahobilam Mutt Temple).
“Let the religious people handle this. In every case under Article 136 (special leave to appeal by the Supreme Court), we need not try to settle the law. Sorry,” the bench told the lawyer appearing for the state that had challenged the high court order.
One petition before the high court stated that the Ahobilam temple, situated in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, has been under the control of Sri Ahobilam Mutt, which is based in Tamil Nadu, since time immemorial.
The state of Andhra Pradesh and others had challenged the October 13, 2022, high court order, which said the Ahobilam temple is an “integral and inseparable part of the Ahobilam Math, which was established as a part of the propagation of Hindu religion and for rendering spiritual service for propagating Sri Vaishnavism”.
The high court had said appointing an executive officer for the temple, which is a part of the Mutt, is violative of Article 26(d) of the Constitution as it affects the right of administration of Jeeyars’/Mathadipathis.
The high court had passed the order on separate petitions questioning the appointment of an executive officer of the ‘Devasthanam’.
The state claimed in its plea that the high court had erred in holding that the Commissioner of the Endowments department does not possess the power to appoint an executive officer to take charge of the administration of the temple under section 29 of the Andhra Pradesh Religious Endowments and Charitable Institutions Act 1987 simply because the temple is affiliated with the Ahobilam Mutt.

“The high court failed to appreciate that the subject temple and the Ahobilam Math are distinct, independent juristic persons and thus, the subject temple’s inclusion in the definition of ‘Math’ is simply incongruous,” it said.

SC Asks J&K To Not Demolish Houses In Roshni Land; Refuses To Stay Govt Order For Removal Of Encroachments

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: On Friday, the Supreme Court of India refused to stay a circular issued by Jammu & Kashmir government directing deputy commissioners to remove encroachments on State Land including Roshni Land and Kachharie land by January 31, 2023, reported LiveLaw.in.
A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar, though expressed its disclination in not passing an order today, it orally asked the Union Territory to not demolish any houses.
“We are not passing any order today. You instruct them orally not to demolish any houses. But we will not grant a general stay…. others should not get benefit,” the bench orally told the counsel of J&K, according to report published in Livelaw.in.
During the hearing, the advocate for the petitioner argued that many tribals are residing on the land and took the Court through the reliefs prayed for.
“If stay is granted then it will benefit land grabbers also?”, Justice Shah asked.
The counsel appearing for the Union Territory clarified that the circular is mainly focused on the Roshni land. He also questioned the locus of the applicants.
“The Application was served on me yesterday. It does not even mention that the applicants live there”, he pointed out while adding that the said land only had shops and such establishments.
The Court then adjourned the matter. The matter was mentioned before the Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, earlier this week.

The Jammu and Kashmir government, on January 9, directed the removal of all encroachments on State Land, including Roshni Land and Kachharie land, by January 31, 2023. The order was passed while several review petitions challenging Roshni Act Judgment remain pending before the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
In 2020, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court held that the Jammu and Kashmir State Land (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act 2001, [popularly known as Roshni Act] is completely unconstitutional.
