Supreme Court rejects plea of Bengaluru riots accused held under UAPA

The Supreme Court has refused the petition of a 68-year-old retired Govt engineer Mohammed Kaleem Ahmed, who was arrested among 17 other leaders and activists of the Social Democratic Party of India and Popular Front of India by the National Investigation Agency, in connection with the Bengaluru Riots.  The two-Judge Bench of Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Vikram Nath refused to grant any relief to the accused, saying that the matter was pending for trial and it would not be possible for it to grant bail, looking at the gravity of offence committed by the appellants and charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, (UAPA) 1967.  Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra appeared on behalf of Ahmad.

Supreme Court quashes plea of murder convict, who claims presence of another person in crime

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by a man, who mercilessly killed his girlfriend, when he saw her talking to another boy. A Bench comprising Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Vikram Nath observed that excessive number of injuries do not ipso facto lead to an inference about involvement of more than one person in the crime. Its rather the nature of injuries or the similarity of their size which would only lead to the inference that she was mercilessly and repeatedly stabbed by the same weapon and by the same person, noted the Court. It reiterated the settled principle of law that the court will not reappreciate the evidence for taking a different view of the evidence than that has been taken by the Trial Court and the High Court, unless it’s a case of manifest illegality so as to call for interference. The Court relied upon the judgement passed in case of Pappu vs State of Uttar Pradesh: Criminal Appeal No 1097-1098 of 2018 decided on February 9, 2022, wherein th

The Delhi High Court has adjourned the hearing into the case dealing with the dispute between e-commerce giant Amazon and Kishore Biyani’s Future Group for hearing on Monday. “While this court would undoubtedly hear all these matters, in my considered opinion, as once there is a challenge to an order and a petition seeking enforcement, ordinarily the challenge should be taken up first,” the Single-Judge Bench of Justice C. Hari Shankar observed on Thursday.  The High Court was seized of two appeals by the Future Group, challenging the arbitration tribunal’s verdict, refusing to stay the order of the Emergency Arbitrator, who had stayed its deal with Reliance. The second was a suit filed by Future Group, seeking to restrain Amazon from interfering in its deal with Reliance.

The Supreme Court on February 23 observed that though the powers of the High Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are wide and in the nature of inherent power yet, the said power cannot be exercised suo motu in a sweeping manner and beyond the contours of what is stipulated under the said Section. The  Division Bench of Justices M.R. Shah and Justice B.V. Nagarathna made this observation, while allowing a criminal appeal filed against the order dated August 5, 27 and 29, 2019 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Madras, by which the Single Judge of the High Court has directed to transfer 864 cases in which the final reports have been filed before the concerned Special Courts for Land Grabbing Cases pending in various districts.

Evacuation of residents till the conclusion of trial under PMLA a harsh measure: Supreme Court

Senior Advocate Abhimanyu made submission before the Supreme Court on Tuesday over the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). He said that attachment was permissible in the interest of not frustrating the purpose of this Act, but the evacuating of residents, tenants among others and withholding the property till the conclusion of the trial is too harsh a measure. In case of an immovable property, the attachment should only be constructive, though in the case of perishable goods they can be seized, noted the Senior Advocate, before the Bench of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice C.T. Ravikumar Submissions of Senior Advocate Siddharth Agarwal began his submissions by building on the arguments made in the previous day’s hearing.  So far as the proceeds of crime are concerned, it was submitted that this particular concept first found reflection in CrPC, but was subsequently added to the PMLA, with the modification that all derivatives f
