The Kerala High Court today heard UV Jose, CEO Kerala LIFE Mission's plea against the investigation launched against the Mission by the CBI. #KeralaLifeMission Image
The CBI alleges that the Kerala Govt obtained funds from the Red Crescent and siphoned the same to Unitech Builders, a construction company making the transaction a violation of the FCRA.

@CMOKerala #KeralaLifeMission #FCRA #Kerala
The State, however, states that it is merely providing land for the construction as part of its LIFE Mission, an initiative to build homes for the poor, especially homes of people that were ravaged by 2018

@CMOKerala #KeralaLifeMission #FCRA #Kerala
There were high voltage exchanges at Court today, with Senior Advocate Vishwanathan KV representing LIFE Mission's CEO and Sasthamangalam Ajithkumar arguing for the CBI.

There were high voltage exchanges at Court today, with Senior Advocate Vishwanathan KV representing LIFE Mission's CEO and Sasthamangalam Ajithkumar arguing for the CBI.

@CMOKerala #KeralaLifeMission #FCRA #Kerala
Senior Adv KV Vishwanathan was vehement in his assertion that any notice to the CEO summoning him as part of investigation would result in "paralysis setting in" on the part of the State's officers. This would sap morale, he additionally stated.

#KeralaLifeMission #FCRA #Kerala
Sasthamangalam: The investigation is at an embryonic stage, we need to probe it further. Interestingly, the CBI was not sure if whether there was an independent contract between Unitech and the Red Crescent (if there was, then the FCRA does not come in the picture)

#FCRA
Unitech's Counsel interrupted, claiming that there WAS an independent agreement between Red Crescent and his client.

At this, KV Vishwanathan told the Court: the CBI does not even know whether or not there were separate agreements

#FCRA #unitech
Senior Adv Vishwanathan emphasized that the complaint on that formed the basis of the CBI's stepping in was politically motivated.

"Don't subject me (Jose) to a political rival", he said in Court today, in respect of Jose being summoned to appear before the CBI.

#FCRA
The Judge found that there important questions to be decided. The remainder of the submissions will be heard next week, along with Unitech's connected petition that will be taken on board.

HC: No stay on investigation for time being. #FCRA #CBI

Supreme Court hears a petition urging for the postponement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams

Sr Adv Madhavi Divan: There are students from Kalahandi and other rural areas who will not be able to appear for the exams on 8th and 14th May since elections are on. It can be on 7th and 13th may.

#caexams #SupremeCourt #LokSabhaElections2024Image
Divan: We are not asking for a bulk postponement. If there is a bunch of candidates from Rajouri. Now they can only come by public transport and with security issues it is impossible to travel and public buses also withdrawn during elections. Hostels are also being asked to vacate. One we are asking postpone and if not possible then atleast allow an out option so that one does not suffer if they are not appearing on May 8 and May 14
#caexams
Divan: Other option can be to increase centres. Delhi, Mumbai students will not suffer. But those coming from north east etc who need to travel states have to suffer. Petitioners are candidates who will not be affected but this plea is for the public interest.

#Breaking

Delhi High Court castigates Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi government and AAP led MCD for its failure to provide textbooks to over 2 lakh students.

Court says Delhi govt is only interested in appropriation of power and by not resigning, despite his arrest, Arvind Kejriwal has put personal interest over the national interest.
#DelhiHighCourt @AamAadmiParty
@ArvindKejriwalImage
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora made these scathing remarks while dealing with a PIL raising the issue that the students studying in MCD schools have not received textbooks and are studying in tin sheds because of the logjam in the civic body.
ACJ Manmohan also commented on the conduct of Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj and said that he had turned a blind eye to the plight of students and is shedding crocodile tears.
