Thiruvananthapuram Vigilance Court convicts three in ₹26.58-lakh commercial tax fraud, sentences two to 32 years RI

The Thiruvananthapuram Vigilance Court on Tuesday convicted and sentenced three persons in a case of alleged misappropriation of advance tax on interstate goods movement, causing a loss of ₹26.58 lakh to the State exchequer. Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge (Vigilance) Manoj A. sentenced former junior superintendent L. Pushparani, 58, and Satheesh Kumar, 47, who allegedly acted as an intermediary between traders and officials, to 32 years of rigorous imprisonment each and imposed a fine of ₹11,36,193 on each of them. Trader K. Francis, 66, was sentenced to eight years of rigorous imprisonment and fined ₹6,11,560. According to the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB), the case relates to irregularities in the payment of advance tax by traders engaged in interstate commerce during 2007-08. The accused allegedly conspired to use forged challans in which amounts higher than those actually paid into the Treasury were entered in duplicate and triplicate copies, and Pushparani, who was responsible for verifying and confirming the tax amounts remitted to the Treasury, allegedly facilitated the irregularities. The Vigilance alleged that the manipulation of the challans enabled four business establishments to evade tax, resulting in a total loss of ₹26,58,595 to the government. The Thiruvananthapuram Special Investigation Unit-I of the VACB registered the case and filed the chargesheet after completing the investigation.

ED provisionally attaches ₹18.33 crore assets of K. Peri Reddy in Kallam Modern Rice Mills loan fraud case

The Directorate of Enforcement's Visakhapatnam Sub-Zonal Office provisionally attached immovable properties worth ₹18.33 crore belonging to K. Peri Reddy and his family members and associates in the case of Kallam Modern Rice Mills Private Limited and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The ED investigation was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered by the CBI, Chennai, on a complaint by State Bank of India, erstwhile State Bank of Hyderabad, Guntur, against Kallam Modern Rice Mills Private Limited, Sri Ramabrahma Modern Rice Mills Private Limited, M/s. Sri Vinayaka Traders and others. According to the ED, during 2010-2013 the group obtained credit facilities of ₹24.57 crore from the SBH Arundelpet branch in Guntur by submitting fake or forged title deeds of collateral properties and diverted the funds, causing a loss of ₹18.33 crore to the bank. The ED said its investigation revealed that K. Peri Reddy operated and managed about 26 entities registered in the names of relatives, employees and associates, including the three borrower concerns. Analysis of bank accounts revealed that cash of about ₹23.81 crore was withdrawn from the cash credit accounts of the three borrower concerns in the names of workers, accountants and Kallam Peri Reddy himself. Further investigation revealed that several properties were purchased out of the loan proceeds, partly in cash withdrawn from bank accounts controlled by K. Peri Reddy, and that he transferred some immovable properties to relatives and associates without receiving sale consideration; those properties were held by them as namesake owners while he remained the actual beneficial owner. The ED accordingly provisionally attached 50 immovable properties valued at ₹16.88 crore and five flats valued at ₹1.45 crore, totalling ₹18.33 crore, located in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as proceeds of crime under the PMLA, 2002 or as equivalent value thereof. Further investigation is under way.

A.P. High Court to hear contempt cases against senior IAS officers on November 13

The Andhra Pradesh High Court will take up further proceedings on November 13 in a batch of contempt cases against multiple serving and retired senior IAS officers and top government bureaucrats over alleged wilful non-implementation of court orders. The matter was advanced to November 13 during a hearing on October 30, 2026, before a Division Bench comprising Justice Ravi Nath Tilhari and Justice Alapati Giridhar. The contempt petitions, including Contempt Case Nos. 4593 of 2022, 189, 750, 861, 908 of 2019, and 68 of 2020, were filed by government employee associations, retired officials and individual petitioners, including Secretariat staff, R&B engineers, TTD employees and police housing corporation officials. Petitioners allege deliberate disobedience and disregard of common judgments and orders delivered by the High Court dating back to December 2018, such as W.P. No. 43051 of 2016 and W.P. No. 4415 of 2016, and subsequent writ appeals, concerning service matters including creation and placement of supernumerary posts, interstate seniority rules and service benefits for State government and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams personnel. The Advocate General representing the respondent authorities submitted that steps were actively under way to comply with court directives, while the State pointed to administrative difficulties in quantifying vacancies, creating supernumerary posts and resolving complexities around interstate seniority and sought additional time. Petitioners argued that the core judicial mandates remained unfulfilled despite assurances and previous adjournments. In its October 30 order, the High Court noted that physical appearance directives and Form-I notices were earlier issued to the respondents under coordinate bench orders, granted two weeks time for newly impleaded respondents to file their respective counter affidavits, and required respondents who already filed counter affidavits to physically appear before the Court on the next date of hearing.
