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. The operation was led by Deputy Commissioner of State Tax Afzal Hasnain and Assistant Commissioner Divya Prakash. During the surprise inspection, the transporter failed to produce valid documentation or e-way bills for the goods stored on the premises. Consequently, the GST department has initiated legal procedures to seize the stock and is interrogating the operator regarding potential tax evasion. Joint Commissioner Krishna Mohan Singh stated that the department has intensified vigilance across the district, including areas such as Rosera, Dalsinghsarai, and Patori, to monitor suspicious transport and logistics activities and enforce compliance with tax regulations.

Deepinder Kaur testifies in CBI court in 2015 Sippy Sidhu murder case

Dipinder Kaur, the mother of the deceased Sukhmanpreet Singh alias Sippy Sidhu, appeared in the CBI court to provide testimony regarding the 2015 murder of the high court advocate and national shooter. In her deposition, Kaur maintained her previous statements made to the CBI, alleging that the accused, Kalyani Singh, the daughter of a retired high court judge, had orchestrated the murder due to a personal vendetta following a rejected marriage proposal. Kaur testified that Sippy left their home on the evening of September 20, 2015, after receiving a call from Kalyani asking to meet in a park in Sector 27. When Sippy did not return, Kaur later learned of his death via a call answered by a police official. The prosecution alleges that Kalyani had the victim killed because he refused to marry her and was in contact with another woman. Kalyani Singh was arrested by the CBI in 2022 and is currently out on bail. The defense counsel is scheduled to conduct a cross-examination of the witness.

Rajasthan High Court takes suo motu cognizance of degradation of Jaipur's Walled City

The Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench) has initiated a suo motu writ petition under Rule 385-P of the Rajasthan High Court Rules, 1952, regarding the degradation of Jaipur's Walled City. Justice Pramil Kumar Mathur acted upon a news report concerning illegal constructions and unauthorized alterations that threaten the site's UNESCO World Heritage status, which it has held since 2019. The Court noted UNESCO's 2025 decision citing inadequate enforcement of heritage protection measures and the risk of losing the designation by December 2026 if remedial actions are not taken. Notices were issued to state authorities, including the Urban Development and Housing Department, the Department of Archaeology and Museums, the Jaipur Development Authority, and local municipal corporations. The Court has directed the Jaipur Development Authority and municipal bodies to survey unauthorized constructions and submit a report within two weeks.

Plea filed in Supreme Court seeking recall of order referring challenge to 2023 Election Commissioner appointment law to Constitution bench

Petitioner Naman Sherstra has filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking the recall of a September 23 order that referred the constitutional challenge against the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023, to a Constitution bench. The plea argues that Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, who was part of the bench alongside Justice Dipankar Datta, should have recused himself because his son serves as standing counsel for the Election Commission of India (ECI) before the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The application contends that this relationship was not disclosed during the five hearings held between May and July, raising reasonable apprehensions concerning judicial impartiality. While the bench had delivered a split verdict regarding the necessity of a Constitution bench, with Justice Datta opposing the referral and Justice Sharma supporting it, the current plea specifically requests the recall of the referral order and fresh consideration by a different bench without imputing actual bias or lack of good faith. This is the second such recall request, following a curative petition previously filed by Congress leader Jaya Thakur on similar grounds.
