3 cold storage units to be built for Haveri farmers: Minister
On Sunday, during the Bhoomi puja ceremony for three new cold storage facilities at the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) premises in Hulihalli-Koonabevu village, Ranebennur taluk, he highlighted the cold storage shortage affecting APMC farmers and traders. The RIDF-30 scheme will enable the establishment of three modern cold storage units, providing district-wide storage options for agricultural produce.
"The Hulihalli APMC market, built in 2023 with an investment of Rs 220 crore, showcases the aspirations of veteran leaders, including former minister KB Kolivada and Byadagi MLA Basavaraj Shivannanavar. Although current usage remains low, 153 shops have been allocated but are yet to begin operations. Upon opening, it will emerge as a state-of-the-art market. The Ranebennur market is positioned to become central Karnataka's largest, after Hubballi and Mysore markets," he stated.

SC dismisses KAL Airways, Kalanithi Maran pleas against Delhi High Court order in SpiceJet case
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed appeals by KAL Airways and media baron Kalanithi Maran, challenging the Delhi High Court order which rejected their plea seeking Rs 1,323 crore in damages from SpiceJet and its chief Ajay Singh. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar dismissed the appeals challenging a May 23 high court order, which dismissed their pleas on grounds of delay. The dispute among the parties arose after Singh, who owned SpiceJet earlier, bought it back from Maran after it was grounded for months due to a resource crunch. Differences arose subsequently with Maran and his firm accusing SpiceJet and Singh of breaching the agreement for issue of share warrants and preference shares to them. The matter went to arbitration, which rejected KAL Airways' claim for Rs 1,323 crore but ordered a refund of Rs 579.08 crore, with interest. The two sides challenged this before the high court, where a single judge on July 31, 2023, directed SpiceJet and Singh to refund Rs 270 crore plus interest to KAL Airways and Maran. On appeal, the division bench set aside this order and remanded it back to the single judge for reconsidering the petition under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Though KAL Airways and Maran moved the Supreme Court against this, the top court had dismissed it on July 26, 2024. They once again challenged the single judge order before a division bench, which by order dated May 23, 2025, dismissed it on grounds of delay. This led to the present appeals before the Supreme Court, which were dismissed on Wednesday.

ED files Fema case against Myntra for Rs 1,654 crore FDI violation
Myntra is accused of misusing the wholesale 'cash & carry' route to conduct multi-brand retail trading (MBRT), which is restricted under the FDI policy. The ED found that Myntra received foreign direct investment (FDI) claiming it was for wholesale trading, but routed the majority of sales through Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd, a related-party entity that sold directly to consumers. This structure was allegedly used to bypass norms by bifurcating B2B and B2C operations, while actually engaging in retail trade. As per the FDI policy amendments dated April 1, 2010, and October 1, 2010, only 25% of wholesale sales can go to group companies — a cap Myntra allegedly breached. The ED concluded that Myntra and others contravened Section 6(3)(b) of Fema, along with the consolidated FDI policies, resulting in a total contravention amounting to Rs 1,654.35 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a complaint under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema), 1999, against Flipkart-owned fashion etailer Myntra, and its related entities for allegedly violating foreign investment rules to the tune of Rs 1,654.35 crore.
