The Supreme Court emphasized its reluctance to direct arrests, giving priority to gathering evidence and protecting witnesses. Monitoring the investigation, the bench declined to comment on the merits of the Anil Ambani Group (ADAG) case, citing past damage to reputation. CBI has registered nine FIRs against ADAG entities totaling Rs 27,337 crore.

New Delhi: A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “The SC has repeatedly said that it would be extremely reluctant to direct the arrest of any person. Importance must be given to the collection and preservation of evidence and the protection of witnesses.”..”“While monitoring the investigation, we do not express any opinion on the correctness of the arrest or non-arrest of any person. For effective investigation, the agencies are best suited to determine how to proceed…” CJI Kant said.The bench rejected ADAG’s plea to add a line in the order to state that the Supreme Court has not formed any opinion on the merits of the case and the court monitoring the investigation does not mean to the contrary.The Supreme Court said the continuing mandamus jurisprudence developed while monitoring the CBI investigation into the Jain-hawala scam in the Vineet Narayan case in the 1990s is a principle of which the court should be proud. However, comments made during court monitoring of the investigation caused severe damage to the reputations of many people. “The results were devastating. That’s why we are not commenting on the investigation.” Supreme Court Clarified.Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the CBI, said that the CBI has so far registered nine FIRs against various ADAG entities and a total of Rs 27,337 crore is involved in the seven FIRs. He gave the detailed outline of the investigation and the progress made and said that four people have been arrested and 31 lookout circulars have been issued.When Bhushan stood firm on his complaint about non-arrest by agencies Anil AmbaniThe latter’s lawyer Kapil Sibal said the only agenda seems to be to arrest Anil Ambani. “He has cooperated with the investigation and is not a flight risk,” he said.ADAG senior advocate Shyam Diwan said the attachment order against the two companies – Reliance Power and Reliance Infra – has caused damage to the reputation of both. Sibal and Divan repeatedly tried to persuade the bench to write a line in the order – “The SC has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case…” The bench did not accede to Sibal’s request.

New Delhi: More than a year after Madhya Pradesh minister Kunwar Vijay Shah linked Colonel Sofia Qureshi in an ‘obnoxious’ manner, a controversy has erupted.Operation Sindoor”The Supreme Court on Friday appeared to be in no mood to condone their misdeeds and asked the state government to take a decision on the SIT’s request for sanction for their prosecution.Solicitor General Tushar Mehta filed a status report before the Supreme Court and said that it appears that Shah’s intention was to praise Colonel Qureshi, but he made a mistake in making a statement which unfortunately turned out to have a different meaning.A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “The statement was extremely unfortunate and appeared to have no sense of remorse.” Shah’s lawyer Maninder Singh said the minister had immediately apologized within 24 hours after realizing that the statement was being viewed in a different light.The bench said this was not the only instance of the minister making objectionable statements and asked the SIT to find out other instances of such comments by him, as indicated by the SIT in its previous report.When SG Tushar Mehta said that the political personality could not properly express his words of praise for the woman officer, the bench said, “Political personalities are otherwise very clear and convey what they want.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said it will not direct clubbing of FIRs against a man accused of defrauding thousands of investors across states, while rejecting the plea of ​​Saga Group’s Sameer Aggarwal, who fled to Dubai after allegedly misappropriating the maturity amount of Rs 10,000 crore of depositors in a co-operative society.Appearing for the absconding accused, senior advocate R Basant told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalaia Bagchi that the court had in the past clubbed FIRs together if they were based on the same basic allegations, to save the accused from having to travel from one state to another to attend the trial.CJI Kant said that when a person cheats thousands of investors, each incident becomes the subject of an independent FIR. There are 33 FIRs against Agarwal in UP, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana for failing to pay maturity amounts to depositors.“Putting together the primaries is a boon for the accused. Those who are cheated have to travel long distances to testify before the court, while the accused enjoys sitting at one place. The investigating agencies should catch this person and bring him to India to face trial,” it said. “If a group of duped people come together to club an FIR, the court will take it into consideration. Our approach must be victim-centric.” It said that if the accused deposits Rs 10,000 crore for refund, the court will consider his plea.

New Delhi: Noting that no person can be allowed to profit from his wrongdoing, the Supreme Court on Friday said a person accused of committing murder or being involved in the murder of another person will be barred from inheriting the property of the victim.A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said such disqualification on inherited property applies to both intestate and testamentary succession and clarified that the stay would apply even if the litigation is still pending. Intestate succession takes place in accordance with the personal law rules governing succession. Testamentary succession occurs when property is bequeathed through a will.“A person accused of murder of the person from whom inheritance is claimed is deprived of claiming rights not only under Section 25 of the Hindu Succession Act, but also on the principles of justice, fair play and equality. If preponderance of probabilities point to the commission of an offence, strict proof in civil proceedings is not indispensable.” “Section 25 of the Hindu Succession Act provides that a person who commits murder or abets murder shall be disqualified from inheriting the property of the murdered person, or any other property in furtherance of the inheritance in respect of which such person has committed or abetted the murder...” The bench said the principle underlying the provision “is based on public policy, justice and good conscience, namely that no person can be allowed to take advantage of his own mistake”.

New Delhi: For continuous ‘health monitoring’ of major and extra long old bridges on NH, highway owning agencies will now install advanced sensors for quick warning in case of abnormal behavior so that corrective steps can be taken before any accident.The Road Transport Ministry has issued a standardized tender document (RFP) for procurement of Continuous Structure Monitoring System for bridges, which highway owning agencies and their engineers can use to invite bids. This is important keeping in mind that there is a dire need to monitor the behavior of old major bridges on the NH network of the country.Installing sensors to monitor bridge health is part of new major bridges, but a large number of older bridges do not have them, officials said. “We need to ensure that old bridges are continuously monitored. Now regional officials of NHAI, road transport ministry and NHIDCL can use the document to rope in the firms,” ​​said an official.The agencies engaged will be responsible for the supply, installation, commissioning and long-term operation and maintenance of advanced equipment designed to track the structural integrity of bridges in real time. This involves the deployment of a wide range of sensors, along with hardware for data acquisition, transmission and reporting, enabling authorities to detect early warning signs of stress, damage or failure.According to the document, such works will be divided into two phases – the first phase will be for six months for installation and commissioning of the bridge health monitoring system and the second phase will include operation and maintenance of the system, ensuring interruption free functioning for at least 10 years.
