Mumbai, The Bombay High Court has granted interim protection from prosecution and penalty to industrialist Anil Ambani in an alleged tax evasion case, while admitting his petition challenging the constitutional validity of provisions of the Black Money Act. Ambani, in his plea, said certain provisions of the (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, were "ultra vires" (beyond the powers/violative) to the Constitution of India. A bench of Justices B P Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla on Tuesday noted that there are other petitions filed in HC against the Act and admitted Ambani's plea, which will be taken up for final hearing in due course.

However, we clarify that no coercive action shall be taken against the petitioner, including that of prosecution and penalty, till the hearing and final disposal of this writ petition," the HC said.

Flat buyers entitled to interest under RERA for each month’s delay: Bombay HC

Flat buyers entitled to interest under RERA for each month’s delay: Bombay HC - Litigation - 3 min read Flat buyers entitled to interest under RERA for each month’s delay: Bombay HC Bombay High Court ruled that homebuyers have an unqualified right to receive monthly interest for delayed possession under Rera. Justice Madhav Jamdar emphasized the law's intent to protect buyers from developer delays, stating they are unconditionally entitled to interest until possession is granted. The court cited buyers' vulnerable position as financiers of projects. MUMBAI: Bombay HC on Monday held that under Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (Rera), buyers have an unqualified right to get interest every month for delayed possession. Justice Madhav Jamdar held that the law was brought in to alleviate buyers’ woes and regulate construction to prevent delays, and developers cannot delay possession for years while expecting to escape the resultant statutory consequences under Rera. The court said buyers who stay with a project despite delays are unconditionally entitled to interest for every month of delay until possession. Ten buyers had sought interest citing delay in a Mulund project they had booked in 2005-07. In 2018, an appellate tribunal under the Act directed the builder to pay interest from Feb 2014 till possession is given.

Lilavati Trust's defamation plea against HDFC rejected | page 5 Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday dismissed an interim plea filed by the medical trust that runs Lilavati Hospital here, seeking to restrain the HDFC Bank, its managing director and CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan and others from making any defamatory remarks against the trust and its members. The Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust had filed the interim application in a defamation suit seeking Rs 1,000 crore damages from the bank, alleging that it and its senior executives had allegedly released statements to the media and also on its social media platforms that were defamatory and harmed the reputation of the trust. A bench of Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan, while dismissing the application, however, noted that the statements were not defamatory and were in fact factually accurate.

The Securities and Exchange Broad of India proposed that AMCs may disclose consolidated remuneration of executive level employees and the total number of such employees. SEBI said the proposed approach would give investors in the funds of AMCs a broader view of senior management compensation. The regulator said the proportion of employees covered under the current framework is limited, ranging from about 2% to 10% of total employee base in 36 of 51 AMCs analysed. The regulator also proposed allowing investors to seek scheme-level disclosure of the total remuneration paid to fund managers of schemes they are invested in.
