Supreme Court directs states to block vehicle services for unpaid e-challans

The Supreme Court has issued a directive to all states and Union territories to freeze various vehicle-related online services for vehicles with outstanding traffic fines. A bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan ordered authorities to block renewals of registration certificates, issuance of duplicate registration, ownership transfers, and the issuance of pollution-under-control certificates until all pending traffic fines are cleared. Furthermore, the court directed that vehicles with unpaid e-challans be blacklisted on the central Parivahan portal to prevent their sale or transfer. For instances of multiple violations, the court instructed authorities to suspend the renewal of driving licences and consider suspending existing licences. These measures are intended to improve the enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, specifically regarding electronic monitoring and the recovery of outstanding fines. The court also mandated the immediate implementation of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' Standard Operating Procedure and compliance with Section 136A of the Motor Vehicles Act regarding electronic enforcement sites.

GST department seizes goods without e-way bills during raid on Samastipur transporter

The GST Intelligence Bureau conducted a raid on a transporter's warehouse located on Gola Road in Samastipur, Bihar, as part of a crackdown on tax evasion during the festive season. The operation was led by Deputy Commissioner of State Tax Afzal Hasnain and Assistant Commissioner Divya Prakash. During the surprise inspection, the transporter failed to produce valid documentation or e-way bills for the goods stored on the premises. Consequently, the GST department has initiated legal procedures to seize the stock and is interrogating the operator regarding potential tax evasion. Joint Commissioner Krishna Mohan Singh stated that the department has intensified vigilance across the district, including areas such as Rosera, Dalsinghsarai, and Patori, to monitor suspicious transport and logistics activities and enforce compliance with tax regulations.

Delhi Special NIA Court orders framing of PMLA charges against Yasin Malik and others in terror funding case

A Special NIA Court in New Delhi has ordered the framing of charges under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Yasin Malik and six others, including Zahoor Ahmed Shah Watali and Masarat Alam Bhat, regarding an alleged terror funding network. Special NIA Judge Prashant Sharma determined that there is prima facie sufficient evidence to proceed against the accused for offences punishable under Section 4 of the PMLA. The Enforcement Directorate alleges that the accused received proceeds of crime amounting to over Rs 8.94 crore, routed through hawala channels from the Pakistan High Commission to the Hurriyat leadership to finance secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir. The court proceedings will continue on October 30, 2026, with the accused required to appear to accept or deny the formal charges.

MP High Court Directs State Bar Council To Frame Minimum Stipend Guidelines For Junior Advocates Within Six Months

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered the State Bar Council to formulate mandatory guidelines for the payment of minimum stipends to junior advocates within six months. The order follows an incident in open court where a junior lawyer appearing in Vipin Pandey v. Rani Durgavati University, Jabalpur and Others, reported receiving no compensation. Justice Vishal Dhagat noted that the Bar Council of India’s October 15, 2024, circular on this matter is merely recommendatory and lacks binding force. Consequently, the Court mandated that the State Bar Council, in consultation with local High Court bar associations, must establish stipend rules for junior advocates, accounting for urban and rural cost variations. Additionally, the Bench directed an inquiry into why the specific advocates associated with the aforementioned case were not paying a stipend to their junior counsel. The Court emphasized that such measures are essential for young lawyers to cover daily expenses and transportation during their initial years of practice.
