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.

SEBI closes investigation against Vinod Adani and 11 others regarding MPS and fraud allegations

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has concluded its probe against Vinod Adani and 11 other entities, clearing them of allegations related to Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms and fraud. In an 81-page final order, SEBI stated it could not establish that Vinod Adani exercised control over foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) such as Emerging India Focus Funds and EM Resurgent Fund, or that he directed investment decisions in Adani Power Limited via Opal Investments. The regulator noted that proving control requires concrete evidence of direct involvement in management or policy decisions, which could not be substantiated based merely on business or financial relationships. Consequently, SEBI dropped the charges against the individuals named in the investigation, although it imposed a penalty of Rs 20 lakh each on Nasser Ali Shaban Ahli and Chang Chung-Ling for separate regulatory compliance issues.

Karnataka High Court sets aside grant of five acres to ex-serviceman citing amended Land Grant Rules

The Karnataka High Court Division Bench comprising Justices D.K. Singh and H. Shanthi Bhushan set aside a single judge's order that had directed the state government to grant five acres of agricultural land to an ex-serviceman. The Court held that under the amended Rule 8(8) of the Karnataka Land Grant Rules, the petitioner is entitled only to a residential site of 2,400 square feet, as the provision for granting five acres of land has been removed. The petitioner had originally applied for five acres in Magadi Taluk in 2000, a request that was repeatedly rejected due to the non-availability of government land. Although a single judge previously directed the government to allot the land based on a submission made by a Tahsildar, the state appealed the decision, arguing the land was reserved for the Mekedatu Project and the previous undertaking was contrary to current rules. While expressing regret over the state's inability to provide land to a soldier, the Division Bench ruled that it was bound by the amended legal framework.
