Delhi court grants bail to insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta in PMLA case; applies Section 45 proviso - Litigation - 5 min read Delhi court grants bail to insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta in PMLA case; applies Section 45 proviso The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has granted regular bail to insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta in a money laundering case, holding that the proviso to Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) applies to him as the alleged proceeds of crime attributed to him were ₹40.75 lakh, below the statutory ₹1 crore threshold. New Delhi [India], September 11 (ANI): The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has granted regular bail to insolvency professional Jitesh Gupta in a money laundering case, holding that the proviso to Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) applies to him as the alleged proceeds of crime attributed to him were ₹40.75 lakh, below the statutory ₹1 crore threshold. The court also found that Gupta had no connection with the scheduled offence, a position it noted was admitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and held that the documentary material in the case deserved greater weight at the bail stage than statements recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA. The court noted that the ED attributed ₹40.75 lakh to Gupta. Considering that the alleged amount was below ₹1 crore, the court held that the proviso to Section 45 of the PMLA was applicable in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case. The court considered the Delhi High Court's recent judgment in Wahidur Rehman v. ED, where the High Court had observed that when the alleged involvement of an accused is substantially below the statutory threshold, the rigour of the twin conditions under Section 45 is diluted. ED, relied upon by the ED, noting that the facts were materially different.

Commercial risks must be priced before they become disputes, legal and finance leaders say

Commercial risks must be priced before they become disputes, legal and finance leaders say - Industry - 3 min read Commercial risks must be priced before they become disputes, legal and finance leaders say At the fifth edition of ETLegalWorld Commercial Disputes Conclave 2026, senior general counsels and CFOs said high-value transactions require boards to quantify contractual ambiguity, technology exposure and counterparty risk before these translate into litigation, cash-flow pressure or balance-sheet impact. Commercial risk needs to be identified and priced in the boardroom long before a dispute reaches arbitration or court, legal and finance leaders said during the panelFrom Courtroom to Boardroom: Managing Commercial Risks and Financial Impact in High-Value M&A and Technology Transactions at the fifth edition of ETLegalWorld Commercial Disputes Conclave 2026. Moderated by Mehak Oberoi, Founder, ConstructHer Legal Network, the discussion focused on translating legal exposure into financial and operational terms that boards can evaluate. Mukul Shastry, Group General Counsel, Cube Highways, described “unpriced ambiguity” as a major source of disputes. Boards, he said, should conduct a pre-mortem around critical contractual assumptions and examine what could go wrong several years into a transaction. In infrastructure, inaccurate traffic projections and long dispute timelines can severely affect debt-funded projects even when companies eventually win their claims. Niti Mittal, General Counsel, Coforge, said technology transformation contracts often falter not on headline provisions such as liability or termination, but around poorly defined obligations, uncontrolled changes and unclear deliverables. Independent validation of outcomes and robust obligation tracking can prevent disagreements from escalating.

SC ask FSSAI for clarifications on 'nutrients of concern' labels - Litigation - 4 min read SC ask FSSAI for clarifications on 'nutrients of concern' labels FoPL is a nutritional information graphic on food packaging that can assist consumers in making an informed decision about food purchases and healthier dietary choices. New Delhi, The Supreme Court has asked the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, which has proposed phased implementation of front-of-package labelling (FoPL) on packaged foods, to come up with more clarifications on the planned labels of "nutrients of concern", fat, sugar and salt. FoPL is a nutritional information graphic on food packaging that can assist consumers in making an informed decision about food purchases and healthier dietary choices. A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran on Thursday also asked the Centre how it plans to increase nutritional literacy in schools while flagging that children are under acute risk of developing unhealthy eating behaviours. The matter has been posted for hearing on September 28. The top court was hearing a plea of the public charitable trust '3S and Our Health Society' which sought directions to the Centre, states and Union territories to implement mandatory FoPL on packaged foods. The FSSAI had earlier told the top court that it proposed to provide a prominent front-of-pack warning label in red for food products high in added saturated fat, added sugar and salt. In a compliance affidavit filed last month, the FSSAI said the two-phased proposal is intended to provide a simple, prominent and easily comprehensible warning to consumers regarding food products which are high in specified nutrients of concern.
