  • Chhattisgarh government withdrew petition from Supreme Court in money laundering case, challenged ED’s action

    The Chhattisgarh government on Wednesday withdrew its petition from the Supreme Court challenging the Enforcement Directorate’s action against state government officials in a money laundering case on jurisdictional grounds. The money laundering case registered in 2022 pertains to an FIR lodged on a complaint by the Income Tax Department over allegations of illegal duty collection on coal in Chhattisgarh and attempts to influence public servants through corrupt means.

    The ED has claimed that a major scam took place in coal transportation in Chhattisgarh between 2019 and 2021, under which a nexus of politicians, officials and others were allegedly charging illegal fees. The Chhattisgarh government, in its petition, claimed that the ED had initiated investigation against the state government officials by filing an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in Raipur on September 29, 2022, based on the FIR lodged in Bengaluru.

    Chhattisgarh’s standing counsel Sumir Sodhi on Wednesday told a bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SVN Bhatti that he has been directed to withdraw the petition. The bench allowed the state government to withdraw the petition and recorded Sodhi’s plea. The petition requested the court to declare the ED’s action illegal, ultra vires and unconstitutional.

    Apart from seeking quashing of the ECIR, the Chhattisgarh government also urged the top court to declare all subsequent actions taken by the ED in connection with the investigation as arbitrary and unconstitutional as they have interfered with the functions of the state police. . The Chhattisgarh government alleged that the ED investigation resulted in indiscriminate surveys and raids in various departments and offices of the state government and arrests of state officials.

  • Big blow to Twitter, Threads users cross 10 crores

    Microblogging site Twitter’s rival Threads has crossed the mark of 10 crore registered users in less than a week of its launch. In this app of Meta, which runs the social media site Facebook, users can also log in with the details of their Instagram account. It has been introduced as an alternative to services like Twitter. Last week, Threads had its international launch (except the European Union). The number of its users is continuously increasing. A major reason for this is Meta’s link with photo and video sharing service Instagram. Instagram has more than 2.35 billion monthly active users. Twitter is facing tough competition from Threads. Elon Musk, chief of American electric car maker Tesla, took over Twitter last year. Twitter has also accused Meta of stealing its trade secrets. Twitter has also warned of taking legal action against Meta. Semafor’s report quoted a letter sent by Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as saying, “Twitter intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights and demands that Meta’s use of Twitter’s trade secrets or other confidential information should be stopped immediately.” Due to Threads being associated with Instagram, it can take advantage of the already existing large number of users and advertising system. This may result in a reduction in Twitter’s advertising revenue. After Musk’s control over Twitter, some big companies had stopped advertising on Twitter. Musk had said that the decrease in advertisements has had a big impact on Twitter’s revenue. Apart from this, Musk had made major changes in the company. They laid off about half the staff. After this, some journalists had to face strong opposition after their Twitter accounts were banned. Regarding this, the European Union (EU) had warned of imposing restrictions on Twitter. However, Musk later withdrew this decision.

  • IND vs AUS: Why did the third umpire give Washington Sundar not out? Know the rules of MCC

    Washington Sundar Not Run Out IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: The spectators got a surprise in the third ODI match played between India and Australia in Rajkot on Wednesday. When Team India came out to chase the target of 354 runs, Washington Sundar came to open. Rohit chose him as his opening partner. However, Sundar narrowly escaped being dismissed in the second over. After this, discussion started among the fans regarding the umpire’s decision. The fans were divided into two groups. One said that Sundar was out, while on the other hand some considered him out. Commentators also participated in this discussion.

    The umpire had to struggle

    What happened was that when Josh Hazlewood bowled the ball to Sundar, he turned it towards midwicket. They ran fast, but the Australian sub-fielder standing here made a brilliant throw and scattered the wickets. The help of the third umpire was taken to decide on this runout. However, he too had to puzzle over the decision. It was seen in the replay that by the time Sundar’s bat reached the line inside the crease, the ball had hit only the stump. Whereas after going inside, the gulls were seen flying. The umpire finally declared him not out.

    After he was declared not out, Akash Chopra, sitting in the commentary box, asked whether it is important for the lights to be on after the bells are removed because in many international matches they are also not lit. In many matches, wooden bells are used, while many bells do not have lights. So in such a situation would Sundar be out or not out? Akash also cited the Asian Games for this. There are no bells with lights in cricket matches.

    Understand the rules like this

    Runout is defined in Law 38 of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the law-making body of cricket. If we understand its rules in simple language, then any batsman is considered runout when he is unable to complete the run. That means his bat does not reach the crease completely. According to Rule 29.1.1.5 of the law, both sides of the bails need to be removed from the stumps, so that the batsman can be declared run out. In the case of Washington Sundar, when his bat went inside the crease, even though the ball had hit the stump, the bails had not been removed. In such a situation, he was declared not out.

Today in the entire country, there is only Aam Aadmi Party which is seeking votes by doing excellent work in the field of education and health, but BJP does not want the poor to get good education and excellent health facilities. With this, BJP’s religion and caste politics will be defeated.

    The party said, “This is why the country’s best education and health ministers, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, were put in jail. Now all the investigating agencies have been deployed to siege Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but the love and blessings of two crore people of Delhi are with Arvind Kejriwal.

    AAP said, “Till now they have filed more than 50 cases against Arvind Kejriwal and got the investigation done.” Nothing came out in any of them. Nothing will come out of this either. No matter how much investigation BJP wants, Arvind Kejriwal will continue to fight for the interest of the common man. Arvind Kejriwal has sworn that he will make India the number one country in the world. Ready to pay any price for this.

    BJP said- welcome CBI investigation

BJP had been saying from the first day that there has been a lot of corruption in the renovation of this luxurious bungalow. Violation of rules. “Today when the CBI investigation has started, we welcome it. Hopefully the truth will come out.”

    BJP had made these claims regarding Delhi CM House

    Delhi BJP has made many allegations regarding Delhi CM House. According to BJP, Arvind Kejriwal spending approximately Rs 45 crore on his home and office during the 16 months of peak of Covid period is a big proof of his insensitivity. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra had said that out of the eight new curtains purchased for the residence, one cost more than Rs 7.94 lakh while the cheapest curtain was priced at Rs 3.57 lakh. Citing documents, Patra said marble worth more than Rs 1.15 crore was brought from Vietnam, while Rs 4 crore was spent on pre-fabricated wooden walls.

    Congress also made allegations

    Congress also attacked Kejriwal and claimed that the amount spent on his residence was Rs 171 crore and not Rs 45 crore as reported earlier. Congress said that because their government had to buy additional flats for the officers whose houses had to be demolished or vacated for the expansion of the Chief Minister’s residential complex.
