Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Phase 2 Live Results: Up to 9 AM, 9.3% of voters were registered in 13 states and the District of Columbia.

Kejriwal says ‘My arrest classic case of how…’ in affidavit to Supreme Court.

According to Kejriwal, his “illegal arrest” during a campaign will give the ruling party in the Center an unfair advantage.

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, has responded to the Enforcement Directorate’s affidavit in the Supreme Court, stating that his arrest is a classic example of how the central government, led by the ruling party, has abused the ED and the PMLA to destroy the Aam Aadmi Party and its leaders, which is its largest political rival. “During an election cycle when political activity is at its highest, the petitioner’s (Kejriwal) illegal arrest has caused grave prejudice to the petitioner’s political party and will provide the ruling party at the Centre an unjust upper hand in the ongoing elections,” the reply said.

Gentleman Rahul Dravid won everyone’s hearts with his behavior at the voting center.

According to LiveLaw, Kejriwal stated in his response, “A level-playing field — which is a pre-requisite for ‘free and fair elections’ — has been compromised with the illegal arrest of the petitioner.”

There has been no proof or material to show that AAP received funds or advanced kickbacks from the South group — let alone utilizing them in the Goa election campaign, the chief minister said adding that not a single rupee was traced back to the AAP and ED’s allegations have no tangible evidence.

In its affidavit to the Supreme Court, the ED stated that Kejriwal’s actions convinced the investigating officer that he was guilty of money laundering. March 21 saw Kejriwal’s detention in connection with a money-laundering case involving the liquor policy of Delhi. So far in the case, Kejriwal has not received any legal redress.

The Delhi High Court dismissed Kejriwal’s plea challenging the arrest and said Kejriwal’s arrest can’t be deemed illegal as there was no contravention of the law. Kejriwal approached the Supreme Court against the high court order. The top court, on April 15, sought a response from the ED on Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest.

“Even on the date of the search during his interrogation, while recording his statement under Section 17 of the PMLA, he was avoiding answering questions by being evasive and non-co-operative even for simple non-incriminating questions,” the ED said.

Supreme Court Asks Election Commission Four Questions About VVPAT Operations.

Following receiving the Election Commission’s responses, the petitioners were informed by the Supreme Court that having suspicions about anything is problematic.

New Delhi: In response to a number of petitions requesting instructions to match votes cast using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the polls with Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips, the Supreme Court will render a decision today.
Judges Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta’s bench asked a senior Election Commission of India (ECI) officer to appear in court at 2:00 pm today to respond to a few questions.

  1. Is the VVPAT or the controlling unit equipped with a microcontroller?
  2. Is it possible to program the microcontroller only once?
  3. Units for loading symbols. What number of are in the Election Commission’s possession?
  4. You mentioned that there is a 30-day limit to file an election petition; therefore, records and storage must be kept for 45 days. However, the 45-day limitation day is incorrect; you must fix it.

“Factually, we ought to be on the same page; we just needed a few clarifications. The Supreme Court said, “Please phone the officer at 2:00 PM.

At 2:00 pm, the bench will now meet.

The bench had significant interaction with a poll panel officer during the previous hearing in order to comprehend how EVMs worked.

When representing the election panel, senior attorney Maninder Singh informed the court that although electronic voting devices are unhackable and cannot be tampered with, human mistake is still a possibility.

Justice Datta reminded Mr. Singh, “You have to allay the apprehensions, both in the court and outside the court,” emphasizing the need for the election process to be sacred. No one should be concerned that something that is expected of them is not being done.”

After hearing arguments from the Election Commission, the Supreme Court informed the petitioners that having too much suspicion of anything is problematic.

“It is impossible to detect anything. It is impossible to criticize everything. You have to be grateful for any good that they (the ECI) have done. The bench informed the petitioner’s attorney, “You don’t have to be critical of everything.”

The panel voiced concerns on the manual counting procedure during a previous hearing on April 16, stating that the Indian electoral process is a “humongous task” and that attempts should not be made to “bring down the system”.

Voters can check if their preferred candidate received the majority of the vote by using the Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail, or VVPAT. In the event of a disagreement, the paper slip produced by the VVPAT can be unsealed and is stored in a sealed cover.

At present, each Assembly segment’s five randomly chosen EVMs’ VVPAT slips are validated.

Patanjali case: Supreme Court hearing on April 23; Ramdev and Balkrishna Acharya prepared for “public apology”

Patanjali misleading advertisements case: The Supreme Court lists the matter on April 23 for further hearing.

Yoga master Ramdev and Patanjali Ayurved Ltd MD Balkrishna Acharya were given a week by the Supreme Court on Tuesday to take action to clear their names of any supposed disrespect after their attorneys pledged to apologise in public for their deceptive advertisement case.

The court has adjourned the matter next for April 23.

Senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi, speaking on behalf of Ramdev and Balkrishna, told a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah, “I am willing to give a public apology,” according to news agency PTI.

Ramdev and Balkrishna, who were both present in court, were invited by the Supreme Court to come forward and speak with the bench.

The bench stated, “They ought to feel a connection with the court.”

The bench is currently speaking with Ramdev during the matter’s hearing.

Before the supreme court, Ramdev and Balkrishna submitted a “unconditional and unqualified apology” about advertising the company released that made exaggerated claims about the therapeutic value of their goods.

Ramdev and Balkrishna have submitted two distinct affidavits to the court, in which they unconditionally apologize for the “breach of the statement” noted in the apex court’s November 21st, 2018 judgment.

In the order dated November 21, 2023, the Supreme Court mentioned that the legal representative of Patanjali Ayurved had given it the assurance that “from now on, there won’t be any infractions of any laws, particularly concerning the branding or advertising of its manufactured and marketed products and, additionally, that no trite remarks asserting therapeutic effectiveness or disparaging any medical system will be disclosed to the media in any manner.”

Patanjali Ayurved Ltd. was declared “bound down to such assurance” by the supreme court.

In The Patanjali Ads Case, The Supreme Court Told Authorities, “We Will Rip You Apart”

Following that, the Supreme Court stated that Ramdev and Balkrishna attempted to avoid making the trip to court by claiming to be traveling overseas.

Delhi New: The Supreme Court declared today that “we are not blind” and that “it does not want to be generous” in this case, rejecting yet another round of apologies from Patanjali founders Ramdev and Balkrishna for the company’s deceptive advertisements. The court chastised the Uttarakhand licensing authorities for their prolonged inaction against Patanjali and expressed dissatisfaction with the Centre’s response.
“There’s a written apology. They have a wall to their back. Judges Hima Kohli and Amanullah stated, “We decline to accept this, we consider it a deliberate violation of undertaking.”

The bench observed that Ramdev and Balkrishna had communicated their apologies to the media before the commencement of the proceedings. The contemnors did not think it appropriate to submit the affidavits until the case was before the court. They sent it to the media first, and it wasn’t uploaded for us until 7:30 p.m. yesterday. It is evident that they value notoriety,” Judge Kohli remarked.

Speaking on behalf of the Patanjali founders, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi stated that the apology had been fulfilled and that he was unable to speak for the registry.

Judge Amanullah stated, “You are defrauding the affidavit,” as he read aloud the affidavits. I’m shocked at who wrote it.” When Mr. Rohatgi claimed that there had been a “lapse,” the court said, “very small word.”

How “even heartfelt” is the apology, Justice Amanullah questioned. “We shall say what further has to be said, my lords. He does not practice law as a career. In life, people make mistakes,” Mr. Rohatgi retorted. Even after what we told you? Expressing regret is insufficient. You ought to pay the price for disobeying the court’s ruling. In this instance, we don’t want to be giving,” he remarked.

The court ruled that the general public needs to be made aware of this. “This involves breaking the law as well as one FMCG. When state authorities requested you to leave, you responded by saying that HC had not taken any coercive action against us. We are incorporating it into your behavior; the bigger picture is how you interact with the public, even when you claim to be acting in good faith.”

In the meantime, the court addressed the Uttarakhand government, questioning why the license inspectors had not taken action and why three officers needed to be suspended simultaneously. The state’s officers had done nothing, according to the court. “We strongly oppose to the term ‘bonafide’ being applied to officials. We will not treat (it) casually. It threatened to “rip you apart” and said that the cops were merely “pushing files.”

“The government complained about a false advertisement in a letter to the Uttarakhand licensing authority in 2021. The licensing authority received a response from the company. But the authorities only issued a warning, letting the corporation go. The court stated that the 1954 Act does not include provisions for warning or compounding the offense.

Six times this has happened, back and forth, and each time the licensing inspector has said nothing. The officer has not submitted a report. The subsequent appointee behaved in the same manner. It said, “All three of those policemen ought to be suspended immediately, and the licensing body was “in collaboration with the contemnors.”

The bench said that the Supreme Court is being mocked. “You are acting like a post office. Did you take legal advice? Shameful of you,” it told the state counsel. “Why don’t we agree that you are hand-in-glove with Patanjali,” the court asked the authority, adding, “You have been playing with people’s lives”.

When the Uttarakhand counsel told the court that they would take action, Justice Kohli remarked, “Thank God, now you have woken up at last and realize that there is a statute existing.” 

“What about all the faceless people who have consumed these Patanjali medicines stated to cure diseases that cannot be cured? Can you do this to an ordinary person?” the court said. The licensing authority apologized to the court and assured that they would surely act on the matter.

The Supreme Court then said Ramdev and Balkrishna tried to wriggle out of physical appearance in court and said they were traveling abroad.

The state licensing authority, it noted, was in “deep slumber” and the “disdain” shown by Divya pharmacy to the warnings of state authority is “apparent from tone and tenor of the reply”.

The court said all who held posts as district ayurvedic and unani officers who held posts from 2018 till now shall file replies on actions taken by them against these ads. The court said it will pass orders on Ramdev and Balkrishna on April 16.

PM Modi vs Congress over judiciary after lawyers flag ‘vested interest group!’

More than 600 lawyers wrote to Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, alleging that a “vested interest group” is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame the courts.

In Short

  • PM accuses Congress of wanting ‘committed judiciary’ for selfish interests
  • Congress retorts, accusing PM of ‘orchestrating attack on judiciary’
  • Over 600 lawyers write to CJI, claim group trying to influence judiciary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress hours after hundreds of lawyers across the country wrote to Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, alleging that a “vested interest group” is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame the courts.

PM Modi said that it is a “vintage Congress culture” to browbeat and bully others.

“To browbeat and bully others is vintage Congress culture. 5 decades ago itself they had called for a “committed judiciary” – they shamelessly want commitment from others for their selfish interests but desist from any commitment towards the nation,” PM Modi said on X (formerly known as Twitter).

PM Modi vs Congress

“No wonder, 140 crore Indians are rejecting them,” he added.

PM Modi’s remark drew an immediate response from the Congress leadership, who asserted that the Prime Minister’s “brazenness in orchestrating and coordinating an attack on the judiciary, in the name of defending the judiciary, is the height of hypocrisy”.

“The PM’s brazenness in orchestrating and coordinating an attack on the judiciary, in the name of defending the judiciary, is the height of hypocrisy! The Supreme Court has delivered body blows to him in recent weeks. The Electoral Bonds Scheme is but one example. The Supreme Court declared them to be unconstitutional – and it is now proved beyond doubt that they were a blatant instrument of fear, blackmail, and intimidation to force companies to donate to the BJP,” senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said while retweeting PM’s post.

“Instead of giving a legal guarantee to MSP, the Prime Minister has given a legal guarantee to corruption. All that the Prime Minister has done in the last ten years is divide, distort, divert, and defame. 140 crore Indians are waiting to give him a befitting reply very soon,” he added.

PM Modi vs Congress

Earlier in the day, more than 600 lawyers, including senior advocate Harish Salve and Bar Council chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, wrote to CJI Chandrachud alleging that a “vested interest group” is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts, especially in cases of corruption involving politicians.

The letter targeted a section of lawyers without naming them and alleged that they defend politicians by day and then try to influence judges through the media at night.

“We are writing to you expressing our deepest concern on the manner in which a vested interest group is trying to pressure the judiciary, influence judicial process and defame our courts on the basis of frivolous logic and stale political agendas. Their antics are vitiating the atmosphere of trust and harmony, which characterises the functioning of the judiciary. Their pressure tactics are most obvious in political cases, particularly those involving political figures accused of corruption. These tactics are damaging to our courts and threaten our democratic fabric,” the lawyers said in their letter.

Electoral bonds: Supreme Court rejects SBI’s plea, orders it to furnish details tomorrow!

Electoral bonds: The Supreme Court also ordered the Election Commission to put the information released by SBI on its website by 5 pm on March 15.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the State Bank of India’s (SBI) plea seeking more time to furnish the details of electoral bonds to the Election Commission and ordered the country’s biggest bank to submit the same by the business hours of March 12, Tuesday. The apex court also ordered the poll panel to put the information on its website by 5 pm, March 15.

The court has warned the SBI chairman and managing director that they will face contempt proceedings if its order is not complied with within the timeline.

In a landmark verdict delivered on February 15, a five-judge Constitution bench scrapped the Centre’s electoral bonds scheme that allowed anonymous political funding, calling it “unconstitutional”.

The Supreme Court had ordered the SBI to disclose details on donors, the amount donated by them and the recipients, by March 13.

The SBI last week requested the court to extend the deadline for the disclosure of the details of the bond to June 30.

Today, a bench comprising CJI DY Chandrachud and justices Sanjiv Khanna, B R Gavai, J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, pulled up the bank, saying what was it doing over the last 26 days.

“In the last 26 days, what steps have you taken? Your application is silent on that,” the bench said.

The SBI has to just open the sealed cover, collate the details and give the information to the Election Commission, the bench added.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the SBI, argued in the court that the bank needed more time to collate the details and match them as the information was kept in two different silos in its branches.

He further said the SBI would need at least three weeks to complete the exercise.

In response, the court said it only asked SBI to do a plain disclosure.

After SBI sought an extension of the deadline earlier this month, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had said the BJP government was using the bank as a shield for its “dubious dealings”.

“The Modi government is using the largest bank of our country as a shield to hide its dubious dealings through Electoral Bonds… the BJP wants it to be done after the Lok Sabha elections. The tenure of this Lok Sabha will end on 16th June and SBI wants to share the data by 30th June,” Kharge had said.

Chandigarh mayor resigns ahead of Supreme Court hearing, 3 AAP councillors quit to join BJP

Congress and AAP had accused the presiding officer for mayoral elections Anil Masih of defacing ballot papers during mayoral polls.

3 AAP councillors

In a new twist in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, Manoj Sonkar of the Bharatiya Janata Party resigned as Chandigarh mayor on Sunday night, a day before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a plea alleging irregularities in the recently held mayoral polls. This followed the resignations of three Aam Aadmi Party councillors – Punam Devi, Neha Musawat, and Gurcharan Kala – in Chandigarh who had gone incommunicado three days ago and joined the BJP on Sunday night, citing “unhappiness” with the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.

Manoj Sonkar submitted his resignation to the municipal commissioner, Chandigarh BJP president Jatinder Pal Malhotra said.

“Mayor (Manoj Sonkar) has resigned from his post today. The matter of mayoral polls is subjudice; the Supreme Court will decide on it tomorrow,” Malhotra said.

This came after the Congress and AAP had accused the presiding officer for mayoral elections Anil Masih of defacing ballot papers. A video of Masih, purportedly tampering with eight votes during the counting process on January 30 had also gone viral on social media – which the top court took a stern view of.

According to Masih, during the counting of votes, Manoj Sonkar got 16 votes, Kuldeep Dhalor of the AAP-Congress alliance bagged 12 votes, while eight of the total 36 votes were declared invalid.

On February 5, the Supreme Court had rapped Masih, observing that it was obvious that he defaced the ballot papers and that he should be prosecuted, adding that his action amounted to “murder and mockery” of democracy. The court had listed the matter on February 19.

Setback for AAP

“I joined the BJP after getting inspired from the works done by PM Modi…I have left AAP because they are a fake party,” Punam Devi told news agency ANI.

According to Musawat, the AAP made “false promises to them”. “Today after getting inspired by the works of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I have joined BJP,” she said.

With this, the BJP will have a majority of 19 votes in the 36-member house for the mayoral polls, while the AAP-Congress alliance will be left with 17 votes.

Perspective: A Depressing Impact On The Toolkit Nexus!

“Exploring the Gloomy Fallout: The Toolkit Nexus and Its Depressing Impact”

The Hindenburg and OCCRP reports against the Adani group were used as political ammo against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, regulatory bodies like SEBI, and one of the biggest economic conglomerates in India during the past year.

Since January 24 of last year, when Hindenburg published its report, the entire toolkit ecosystem—which includes so-called investigative institutions based abroad, NGOs, aligned media outlets domestic and overseas, Left-liberal groups of all hues, and sections of political parties in opposition, most notably the Congress—has been in hyperactive mode.

The opposition, led by the Congress party, compelled a washout of the parliamentary Budget session. There were fictitious allegations and claims made, along with unrealistic demands. Discussions over President Droupadi Murmu’s speech to the joint session of legislature. That was also the first time President Murmu addressed the legislature, and lawmakers are free to express any opinions they may have during these debates.

Because of this, the country witnessed a new form of rivalry among leaders, with the aim of seeing who could disparage or abuse business magnate Gautam Adani, his group, and his alleged closeness to Prime Minister Modi merely by virtue of their Gujarati origins. For those apprehended breaking the law, it served as a handy justification for their immoral, unethical, and unlawful acts of commission and omission.

After two previous failures, the Rafale and Pegasus debates, it was evident that they had not learned their lesson.

In addition to demolishing the Hindenburg and OCCRP reports and their backers like a renegade George Soros, the Supreme Court’s clean bill of rights to the Adani group, placing its faith in the market regulator and the Indian regulatory apparatus, has also dulled the leadership of Congress and the party’s supporters. The Supreme Court essentially indicted activist attorney Prashant Bhushan on multiple counts during the case’s most recent hearing.

Nonetheless, the ruling by the Supreme Court cheers not only the Adani Group but also millions of small investors nationwide, in addition to institutional investors, public sector banks, and other organizations.

The one definitive finding from the year-long, politically charged exercise in dust-raising is straightforward: Hindenburg, which initially leveled accusations in a lengthy study, made a significant profit by short selling both before and after the report’s publication, and it freely acknowledged this.

The incident reveals the relationship between India baiters and those who despise the Modi regime. Above all, it exposes a wide range of people, including Rahul Gandhi, Mahua Moitra, Jairam Ramesh, and many more. They are now without a problem following the Supreme Court’s decision.

The Congress will suffer the most from it, and the opposition I.N.D.I. will become even more divided.a collection. Openly disparaging Hindenburg, Sharad Pawar supported the Adani Group. Leaders of the Trinamool Congress and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Ashok Gehlot, the former chief minister of Rajasthan, Pinarayi Vijayan, the head of the CPM, and the Janata Dal (United) had also adopted a lenient stance towards Adani.

Inadvertently portraying himself as anti-industry and anti-entrepreneurship, Rahul Gandhi is well-known for telling party leaders and workers stories—his own versions of how McDonald’s and Coca-Cola rose to prominence. It’s definitely not a healthy image. for the opposing parties and the Congress.

If Rahul Gandhi and others want to continue making wild accusations, they would be better off reading the 46-page Supreme Court ruling before pursuing this further. Take note of what Chief Justice DY Chandrachud’s bench stated in the ruling: Based on the evidence presented to this court, SEBI cannot be blamed for any apparent regulatory shortcomings.

The court must not supersede SEBI’s regulatory regulations with its own judgment. When evaluating a policy created by a specialized regulator, the court has the authority to investigate whether it infringes upon any statutory provisions, fundamental rights, or is obviously arbitrary. This case’s facts do not support a transfer.

of a SEBI investigation. This Court does have the authority to assign a case to a SIT or CBI in which the investigation being conducted by the authorized agency is deemed appropriate. Such authority is used in exceptional situations where the responsible authority exhibits a conspicuous, willful, and intentional lack of action in conducting the investigation. There is no evidence to support the existence of a threshold for the transfer of investigation.

The petitioner’s reliance on the OCCPR findings to imply that SEBI conducted the investigation in a careless manner is denied. A report from a third-party entity that makes no effort to confirm the veracity of its claims cannot be used as definitive evidence. Furthermore, it is incorrect for the petitioner to rely on the DRI letter because Concurrent rulings from the CESTAT, this Court, and the Additional Director General of DRI have already resolved the matter.
