Washington couple spent $300,000 on home plans; state wants 44 acres surrendered In 2021, Tyler Chambers, 59, purchased 66 acres in rural Chelan County, Washington, with his wife, Wendy, planning to construct a home. The land they bought seemed perfect: it was zoned residential, had power, PUD water, fibre and paved-road access, with other homes nearby. Everything looked promising for the small-business owner from a farming family. He had plans to build a family home and pole barn, plant some orchard acreage, and dreamt that his children or grandchildren would build on the property later. In five years, he spent nearly $300,000 on regulatory requirements, including wildlife studies and geotechnical reports, according to a report by AgWeb. The county asked for more reports and studies, including assessments of stormwater, spotted owls, golden eagles, deer, shrubsteppe and geotechnical risks. Then the state allegedly asked him to place roughly 44.2 acres, about two-thirds of the property, under a permanent conservation deed restriction as environmental mitigation before he could build his home. The paperwork that never ended Tyler Chambers visited the county planning office before breaking ground.

CBI officer Seema Pahuja, who led RG Kar case, to oversee Disha Salian death probe

CBI officer Seema Pahuja, who led RG Kar case, to oversee Disha Salian death probe CBI officer Seema Pahuja, who led RG Kar case, to oversee Disha Salian death probe The CBI has assigned officer Seema Pahuja to oversee its fresh investigation into the death of celebrity manager Disha Salian. The probe follows a Bombay High Court order asking the CBI to file a fresh FIR in the case. Decorated CBI officer Seema Pahuja will oversee the agency's fresh investigation into the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Pahuja, 59, is currently posted as an SP with the CBI's Special Crime Unit in Delhi and has handled several high-profile cases. Salian, 28, died after falling from a high-rise building in Mumbai's Malad area on June 8, 2020. Her death came days before Rajput, who died on June 14. Mumbai Police had treated Salian's death as a suicide, while a Maharashtra SIT later found no foul play. Pahuja was part of the CBI investigations into the 2020 Hathras rape-murder case and the 2017 Unnao rape case, involving expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.

Fortis Healthcare moves SC against Delhi HC order directing forensic audit in Daiichi Sankyo case - Litigation - 4 min read Fortis Healthcare moves SC against Delhi HC order directing forensic audit in Daiichi Sankyo case In a regulatory disclosure on September 16, Fortis said it has filed a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court against the August 31 judgment. Fortis Healthcare has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court’s August 31, 2026 judgment directing a forensic audit into the evolution and diminution of its shareholding held by former promoters Malvinder Mohan Singh and Shivinder Mohan Singh, as well as related transactions involving lenders and IHH Healthcare’s acquisition of a controlling stake in the hospital chain. In a regulatory disclosure on September 16, Fortis said it has filed a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court against the August 31 judgment. "The Company has filed a Special Leave Petition before the Hon’ble Supreme Court against the order dated August 31, 2026, passed by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case titled “Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited vs. Malvinder Mohan Singh And Ors.” (O.M.P.(EFA)(COMM.) 6/2016), specifically, in relation to the following applications –EX.APPL.(OS) 3764/2022, EX.APPL.(OS) 1615/2025, and EX.APPL.(OS) 3763/2022 (the “Order”)," Fortis noted in the filing. The Delhi High Court, presided over by Justice Subramonium Prasad, had allowed all three applications and appointed S Ramanand Aiyar & Co., Chartered Accountants, as the forensic auditor. The court said the purpose of the audit was to identify and reconstruct the chain of events to enable it to identify the persons and companies involved in the dissipation of shares. The dispute arises from a Singapore arbitration award dated April 29, 2016, under which the judgment debtors were directed to pay Daiichi Sankyo INR 2,562…

Kerala PSC recruitment exam case: CM says PSC members should answer police summons

Kerala PSC recruitment exam case: CM says PSC members should answer police summons Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on Wednesday (September 16, 2026) said the Chairperson and members of the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) had no legal recourse but to cooperate with the Kerala State Police Crime Branch’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating suspected recruitment test fraud for various posts in the Kerala State Planning Board (KSPB). The Kerala PSC, populated mostly by political appointees of the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, has refused to answer the SIT’s summons for questioning over serious and possibly wilful lapses in evaluating the answer papers. The PSC members and Chairperson justified their stance by underscoring the constitutional body’s institutional autonomy and hinted that they would challenge the Crime Branch summons in Court. As many as 300 job aspirants had appeared for the tests for the chief-level posts. Later, many of them faulted the PSC, accusing its evaluators of overlooking answers to descriptive questions and alleged negligence, wilful or otherwise, in the On-Screen-Marking System. Satheesan noted that the SIT had flagged potential criminal conspiracy behind the supposed lapses. He said the PSC’s credibility was at stake if its members and chairperson refused to face due legal process.
