Kantara mimicry row: Karnataka HC accepts Ranveer Singh's undertaking to visit Chamundi Hill deity

Kantara mimicry row: Karnataka HC accepts Ranveer Singh's undertaking to visit Chamundi Hill deity The Karnataka High Court on Saturday accepted Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh's undertaking to visit the Chamundi Hill Temple in Mysore to make amends for his mimicry of the temple deity's depiction in the film Kantara. Justice M Nagaprasanna today said he will pass orders to close Singh's plea after recording Singh's apology and his undertaking to visit the temple. The Court added that it will direct Singh to visit the temple in four weeks. "While disposing, I will record it, that he will do it in the next four weeks," the judge remarked. The Court was hearing a plea filed by Singh to quash a criminal case registered against him over his controversial mimicry and comments at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held at Goa. The case arose from a speech made by Singh at the 55th IFFI. While praising actor-director Rishab Shetty's performance in Kantara: Chapter 1, Singh referred to the Chamundi deity as a “female ghost” and mimicked Shetty’s performance. A criminal case was eventually registered against Singh for the offences under Sections 196 (religious enmity), 299 (religious insult) and 302 (public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

ED conducts raids at Raheja Developers premises in NCR in money laundering case

ED conducts raids at Raheja Developers premises in NCR in money laundering case The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday launched new raids against real estate firm Raheja Developers regarding a money laundering probe tied to suspected home-buyer fraud. Approximately seven Delhi-NCR locations are currently being searched, ED officials said. The officials stated the operation involves allegations of defrauding customers and failing to deliver units within the Raheja Revanta project. The agency previously targeted the company in June 2025 during the same investigation. Earlier this month, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) rejected Raheja Developers' request to terminate the insolvency proceedings against its Gurugram-based Raheja Shilas project, noting that disputes with homeowners remain unsettled. The tribunal had clarified that a Section 12A application under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to withdraw the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) requires a formal settlement between the developer and buyers. Consequently, the door remains open for buyers to initiate a 12A filing once resolved. "Respondent Nos.1 to 43 (flat buyers) have objected to the closure of the CIRP, who have initiated the proceedings.

'Beaten up, threatened...': After joining BJP, Maliwal recalls 2024 assault at Kejriwal's house

'Beaten up, threatened...': After joining BJP, Maliwal recalls 2024 assault at Kejriwal's house NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Saturday recalled the alleged assault on her two years ago as she spoke publicly on the issue after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Maliwal claimed that she was 'intimidated and threatened' when she tried to file an FIR against the incident. Speaking to reporters, Maliwal said, “I have left the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the BJP. Since 2006, I have been working with Arvind Kejriwal and supported him during every agitation. However, Arvind Kejriwal had me beaten up by a goon in my own house. I was threatened when I raised my voice against it, and immense pressure was put on me to withdraw the FIR. For two years, I was not even given a minute to speak in Parliament.” Her remarks come days after more than two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs resigned from the party and joined the BJP, with Raghav Chadha leading the split. Providing details of the incident, Maliwal alleged that she was assaulted by a close aide of Kejriwal at the chief minister’s residence in 2024 and faced sustained pressure to withdraw her complaint. “I left my home, lived in ‘jhugis’ for seven years, quit my job and supported every movement.

5. Grama Nyayalayas lack jurisdiction to decide maintenance cases in places where family courts exist: Kerala HC

Grama Nyayalayas lack jurisdiction to decide maintenance cases in places where family courts exist: Kerala HC

Grama Nyayalayas lack jurisdiction to decide maintenance cases in places where family courts exist: Kerala HC The Kerala High Court recently held that maintenance cases must be decided by family courts in areas where they are established and not by Grama Nyayalayas, even though such bodies are otherwise empowered to deal with maintenance claims [Faseela & ors v Jaleel]. Grama Nyayalayas are established under the Gram Nyayalayas Act, 2008, to provide rapid, affordable, and accessible justice to citizens in rural India. Justice K Babu held that Grama Nyayalayas have the jurisdiction to decide on maintenance claims only in the absence of a specific court dealing with such matters. However, once a family court is established for an area, only such courts can deal with maintenance disputes - not Grama Nyayalayas. The statutory scheme under the Family Courts Act, 1984, specifically barred other courts from hearing maintenance claims, the High Court explained. "As per Section 8(b) of the Family Courts Act, where a Family Court has been established for any area, no magistrate shall, in relation to such area, have or exercise any jurisdiction or powers under Chapter IX of the CrPC," the Court noted. The Court passed the ruling on a plea filed by a woman and her children (petitioners) seeking the transfer of a maintenance case from the Grama Nyayalaya at Kunnummal, Kuttiyadi, to a family court in Vadakara. The petitioners in 2016 had filed a case before the Grama Nyayalaya seeking maintenance from the woman's husband under Section 125 of the Criminal Code of Procedure (CrPC).
