SBI fails to produce CCTV after Rs 80,000 ATM fraud; panel upholds Rs 1.30 lakh payout NEW DELHI: The Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission on August 10 has upheld an order directing State Bank of India to pay Rs 1.30 lakh to a customer after four unauthorised ATM withdrawals and two transfers were made from his account in 2018. The commission also upheld the compensation amount granted by the lower commission. The commission dismissed SBI's appeal against the district consumer commission's August 2023 order, saying the bank failed to preserve and produce CCTV footage and other records that could have shown whether the disputed transactions were authorised. What happened to the customer's money?According to the commission order, the customer had maintained an account with SBI since 2002, into which his salary as a lab assistant at a government school was credited. On October 10, 2018, he withdrew Rs 5,000 from an SBI ATM. His account had a balance of Rs 1,12,472 and another Rs 17,540 was credited on October 11, taking the balance to Rs 1,30,012. On October 22, when he tried to withdraw money from an ATM, the transaction failed because there was not enough balance in his account. He then got his passbook updated and found that on October 12, four ATM withdrawals of Rs 20,000 each, totalling Rs 80,000, had been made from his account.

Expert Take: Ashoka and the Dhamma of Leadership

Expert Take: Ashoka and the Dhamma of Leadership - Opinions - 5 min read Expert Take: Ashoka and the Dhamma of Leadership Ancient Indian civilization's enduring values shaped Emperor Ashoka's ethical leadership. His philosophy of Dhamma provided a universal code of ethics for his vast empire. Ashoka's rock and pillar edicts reveal his commitment to truthfulness and welfare for all. He demonstrated remorse after the Kalinga War, increasing his moral stature. Ashoka's legacy highlights the importance of empathy and leading by example. Ethical leadership is deeply rooted in the enduring values of the Indian civilisation. In this context, the article examines one of ancient India’s most distinctive and influential figures — Emperor Ashoka. Ashoka anchored his rule by a moral philosophy, which he referred to as ‘Dhamma’ or dharma – a universally applicable code of ethics, the refrain of which is palpable in the collective identity of the modern Indian nation state.

Mere closure of FIR does not entitle accused to compensation: J&K High Court

Mere closure of FIR does not entitle accused to compensation: J&K High Court The Jammu and Kashmir High Court recently dismissed a plea by four persons seeking compensation of ₹50 lakhs each for their alleged wrongful implication in a drug case, which was eventually closed by the police citing lack of evidence [Javid Ahmed Lone & Ors. v. Justice Shahzad Azeem observed that the mere registration of an FIR does not violate the fundamental rights of the accused, unless there is some element of malice. The Court held the registration of an FIR alone would entitle an accused to claim compensation by claiming he was wrongfully named in the criminal case. “Compensation in writ jurisdiction or under inherent powers is an exceptional public law remedy available only when there is an established violation of fundamental rights, coupled with malafides or gross abuse of process causing demonstrable harm. Mere registration of FIR on receiving information of commission of a cognizable offence and closure as 'not admitted' do not constitute violation of any of the fundamental rights of the petitioners (formerly accused)," the High Court observed. High Court was hearing a petition filed by Javid Ahmad Lone, Raja Ikhlaq Akbar, Safeer Ahmad Gadwal and Basit Khan. They were earlier accused of cross-border smuggling drugs. The FIR registered against them cited Sections 8A, 27B and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (NDPS Act). The police said that they registered the FIR based on credible information that narcotic drugs were being smuggled across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

Allahabad High Court rejects woman’s plea seeking maternity leave for fourth child

Allahabad High Court rejects woman’s plea seeking maternity leave for fourth child The Allahabad High Court recently dismissed a plea filed by a woman government employee seeking six months' maternity leave for her fourth child [Sashi Kumari v. State of UP and Others] Justice Manju Rani Chauhan passed the order on August 7 in a petition challenging a June 19 order by the government authorities who had rejected her claim for maternity leave for her fourth child. The petitioner argued that she had not availed maternity leave when her first three children were born and was therefore, entitled to the benefit for the fourth child since she was seeking maternity leave for the first time. The State opposed the plea, relying on the provisions of the Financial Handbook. It submitted that she was not entitled to maternity leave for her fourth child. The provision states that maternity leave is available to permanent or temporary women government employees for two occasions. It further provides that where a woman government employee has two or more living children, maternity leave cannot be granted. The Court, therefore, found no reason to interfere with the decision and rejected the petitioner's claim.
