1. Bombay High Court protects Ananya Panday's personality rights, orders deletion of objectionable content

The Bombay High Court passed an ad-interim order on Thursday, November 5, protecting actress Ananya Panday's personality rights and directing deletion of objectionable content that violates her right

2. Supreme Court refuses to entertain Azam Khan bail plea in ED case, asks Allahabad High Court to hear on November 16

Supreme Court refuses to entertain Azam Khan bail plea in ED case, asks Allahabad High Court to hear on November 16

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's plea challenging his arrest in a fresh money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate and asked the Allahabad High Court to hear the matter on November 16. The bench said it did not want to bypass the High Court. The Supreme Court directed that Khan's bail petition be transferred to the Allahabad High Court within two days and directed the High Court's registrar general to place the matter before the Chief Justice to constitute a division bench for the November 16 hearing. It requested the division bench to pass an order on the prayer for interim relief (bail). Khan was arrested on October 31 in the money laundering case, shortly after he and his son Abdullah Azam Khan were released from Rampur prison in an alleged dual PAN card case. The case pertains to alleged misuse of government funds in the construction of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, established in Rampur by Khan. Khan was produced before the special Ghaziabad court and sent to judicial custody for 14 days. Appearing for Khan, senior advocate Kapil Sibal alleged that the ED had opened 28 new Enforcement Case Information Reports based on predicate offences dating back to 2006 and argued that the purpose of arresting Khan now was to keep him in custody ahead of Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The bench said Khan's argument might have substance but that saying anything in his favour would prejudice the case, and it would request the High Court to decide on the first day of reopening after the Diwali vacation. The bench noted that the nub of the ED material appeared to be Income Tax proceedings where a substantial amount was shown as part of the management of the university, and that the ED pleaded that because of Khan's supervening influence, an FIR was not registered back then. The court also said one of the ECIRs concerned alleged misuse of Haj Committee funds. On October 29, Khan was granted bail in the dual PAN card case, in which he was awarded a 10-year prison term; the High Court suspended the sentence but refused to stay the conviction.

3. Karnataka tells High Court Gruha Lakshmi beneficiaries cannot claim ₹2,000 as a right; court grants two weeks to reply

Karnataka tells High Court Gruha Lakshmi beneficiaries cannot claim ₹2,000 as a right; court grants two weeks to reply

The Karnataka government told the Karnataka High Court that beneficiaries of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme cannot claim its monthly financial assistance of ₹2,000 as a matter of right. A Bench of Justices Anu Sivaraman and KS Bharath Kumar was hearing a public interest litigation filed by Bengaluru-based labourers alleging that the State failed to release ₹5,000 crore towards arrears of two instalments of ₹2,000 each for 1.26 crore women beneficiaries. The State contended that implementation of the welfare scheme is subject to administrative exigencies and its financial constraints. In its statement of objections, the government argued that a benevolent welfare scheme does not confer an indefeasible right on beneficiaries to demand assistance through judicial intervention, and that they cannot invoke the doctrine of legitimate expectation when the State is unable to disburse funds due to genuine financial constraints. The government admitted that assistance for February and March 2025 was not disbursed due to financial constraints, and that proposals submitted to the Finance Department did not receive the requisite grant. The State sought dismissal of the petition, saying it is not maintainable in law or on facts. The Court granted the petitioners' counsel two weeks to file a reply to the government's objections. Additional Advocate General Taranath Pujari appeared for the State government.
