GBA ploy to take control of city admin: Karnataka HC plea
Stating that the Act is arbitrary and ultra vires the scope and ambit of the Constitution, the petitioners also sought directions to conduct the election to the BBMP.
A division bench of Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C M Joshi issued notice after hearing the petition which sought a stay on the operation of the GBA, notified on May 14, 2025, and also direction to the SEC to conduct the BBMP elections within three months.
The petitioners urged the court to declare Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23 and 316 as unconstitutional and consequently declare the GBA as unconstitutional, arbitrary and ultra vires the scope and ambit of the Constitution.

BCCI Under RTI: Long-Stalled Sports Bill To Be Tabled Today, Likely To Clear Parliament
Last Updated: Despite not receiving government funding, the BCCI, like other national sports bodies, will have to comply with regulations set out by the sports ministry once the bill is enacted Union sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya is set to introduce the highly anticipated National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. The legislation, focused on athlete welfare and systemic reform, represents a significant step towards transparency and accountability in Indian sports governance. A key provision of the bill is to bring all national sports bodies, including the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005. This long-debated and previously resisted move is expected to finally become law, ending years of delay and political pushback. A previous attempt during the UPA era by then sports minister Ajay Maken failed due to opposition within his own party. Despite not receiving government funding, the BCCI, like other national sports federations, will be required to comply with the regulations set out by the sports ministry once the bill is enacted. This is particularly significant as the Indian cricket team prepares to compete at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which will place the BCCI within the framework of a national sports federation. 'It wasn't easy to bring the BCCI on board, but extensive dialogue was held between lawmakers and the BCCI top brass to ensure their cooperation," a source involved in the legislative process told CNN-News18. 'The government's intent is clear: to instill accountability and transparency across all sports federations in the country." Once enacted, the bill will mandate all recognised sports bodies to comply with the RTI Act, opening up access to decision-making processes, financial records, and governance structures to the public. The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, aims to overhaul the Indian sports ecosystem through a series of structural reforms, including legal clarity, gender equality, athlete empowerment, and enhanced public oversight. More than just a legal framework, the bill signals the dawn of a new era where athletes are not just competitors but active stakeholders in India's sporting future. India's sports sector has long been plagued by controversies such as mismanagement, opaque elections in sports federations, and poor athlete representation. With over 350 court cases pending across federations, the judiciary has consistently urged the government to legislate a comprehensive governance structure. Efforts to introduce such a bill date back to 2011, but progress was repeatedly blocked by legal challenges, shifting political priorities, and unresolved court interventions. The Delhi High Court's endorsement of the 2011 Sports Code and pending litigations around the 2017 draft further stalled momentum. Officials believe that beyond governance reform, the bill will also contribute to employment generation, better protection for athletes—especially women and minors—and a more ethical, competitive, and globally aligned sporting culture in India.

Income tax tribunal upholds Rs 199 crore tax demand against Congress
In a setback to Indian National Congress (INC), the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Delhi Bench, which upheld a tax assessment of over Rs 199 crore for Assessment Year 2018-19. The Tribunal confirmed the disallowance of tax exemption under Section 13A of the Income-tax Act, 1961, citing the party's failure to file its income tax return by the due date and the receipt of cash donations exceeding the prescribed limit. The case originated when the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle-19, assessed the INC's income at Rs 199 crore, despite the party declaring "Nil" income. This assessment was subsequently upheld by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). A key contention was the timing of the INC's tax return. For Assessment Year 2018-19, the due date for filing income tax returns for political parties was initially September 30, 2018, later extended to December 31, 2018. However, the Indian National Congress filed its return on February 2, 2019, which the tax authorities deemed to be beyond the prescribed due date under Section 139(4B) of the Act. Section 13A's second proviso specifically mandates that a political party must furnish its return of income by the due date under Section 139(4B) to avail tax exemption. The second major point of contention was the receipt of cash donations. The Assessing Officer found that the INC had received Rs 14.49 lakh in cash from various persons, with each donation exceeding Rs 2,000. Section 13A(d) of the Act strictly prohibits political parties from receiving donations exceeding Rs 2,000 in cash, mandating transactions through account payee cheque, bank draft, electronic clearing system, or electoral bond. The tax department argued that the party's own balance sheet recorded these as "donations". The INC argued that its return, filed on February 2, 2019, was within the extended time limit available under Section 139(4) of the Act, and that a belated return should not lead to the disallowance of exemption under Section 13A. The party also attempted to differentiate between "voluntary contributions" and "donations," stating that the cash receipts were voluntary contributions and not donations, an argument rejected by the tax authorities. However, the ITAT's order sided with the revenue department, reinforcing the strict compliance required by political parties to claim tax exemptions under Section 13A. The tribunal's decision underlines the importance of adhering to both timely filing requirements and the prescribed modes for receiving donations to qualify for tax exemptions. The appeal of the Indian National Congress was dismissed, confirming the disallowance of the claimed Rs 199.15 crore exemption.

Let the washing of (dirty?) linen begin
Indian polity has always been more disapproving about washing dirty linen in public than actually washing the dirt off linen. Which is why the initiation of impeachment proceedings to remove Justice Yashwant Varma on Monday in Parliament marked an important moment in the spin cycle of the judicial system. While resignation of Rajya Sabha speaker and vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar took up much of the headlines, it was the submission of a notice of impeachment sponsored by 63 Rajya Sabha members to him - and by 145 Lok Sabha members to lower house speaker Om Birla - that bears more lasting interest. To initiate proceedings, at least 100 Lok Sabha MPs and 50 Rajya Sabha MPs were required to come on board. Proceedings must be initiated as soon as Articles 124 and 217 of the Constitution, a judge can be removed from office for 'proved misbehaviour' or 'incapacity'. While Varma's defence hinges on the fact that discovery of currency notes found on the precincts of his residence does not amount to proof of his ownership or culpability, it has raised serious questions that need answers. For this purpose, Birla and Dhankhar's successor should swiftly verify the impeachment notice, admit it, and constitute a 3-member committee to prepare a report under the Judges (Inquiry) Act 1968. If the committee finds the allegation true, the report would be tabled in the House for discussion and and proper procedure are key tools to fumigate institutions like the judiciary. The fact that no judge in the history of Indian judiciary has been impeached should not have any bearing as to how this particular case proceeds. The object is to ensure a trustworthy judiciary, not to worry about reputational damage.
