West Bengal elections: Calcutta HC modifies its order after appeal by poll body, says biking in groups not allowed

West Bengal elections: Calcutta HC modifies its order after appeal by poll body, says biking in groups not allowed The Calcutta High Court on Monday expanded restrictions on motorcycle use during the ongoing West Bengal elections, directing that not only motorbike rallies but group riding on two wheelers will also be barred on polling day and two days prior to the polling day. Effectively, riding motorcycles in groups will not be allowed from April 27 to April 29. The second phase of West Bengal elections is scheduled to be held on April 29. A Division Bench of Justice Shampa Sarkar and Justice Ajay Kumar Gupta passed the order on an appeal filed by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of West Bengal against an April 24 ruling of a single-judge. The Division Bench said that in the interest of ensuring security and peaceful casting of votes, the earlier directions required a limited modification. Accordingly, the Court ordered that clause (a) of the single- judge’s ruling be altered to read as follows: “No motorbike rally or biking in groups shall be allowed during polling day – 2 onwards.” The rest of the order passed by the single-judge was left unchanged. The single-judge had on April 24 held that the Election Commission of India (ECI) could not impose a blanket restriction on motorcycle riding in the name of conducting free and fair elections. The Court had set aside a notification issued by the CEO that effectively barred motorcycle use between 6 pm and 6 am in the days leading up to polling, except in limited circumstances.

80 is no age to fight in court, go for mediation: Supreme Court tells Rani Kapur in dispute with Priya Kapur

80 is no age to fight in court, go for mediation: Supreme Court tells Rani Kapur in dispute with Priya Kapur The Supreme Court on Monday nudged parties in the Rani Kapur–Priya Kapur dispute over the Sona Group family trust to explore mediation, observing that a prolonged inheritance battle involving an 80-year-old litigant would serve little purpose. (Rani Kapur Vs Priya Sachdeva Kapur) A Bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi told the lawyers, "Why are you all fighting? This is not the age for your client to fight…go for mediation once and for all, from A to Z. Otherwise, this is a waste.” The Court alos remarked that merely prolonging litigation achieves little, particularly when disputes arise at an advanced age. “You are 80. This is not the age for your client to fight." The dispute arises from a suit filed by Rani Kapur challenging the creation of the Rani Kapur Family Trust. She has alleged that the trust was constituted fraudulently and used to divest her of her entire estate, including control over Sona Group companies. According to the suit, after she suffered a stroke in 2017, her late son Sunjay Kapur and his wife Priya Kapur exploited her physical condition and trust. They allegedly transferred her assets into the family trust without informed consent. The plea claims that she was made to sign documents, including blank papers, under the pretext of administrative convenience.
