Have right to worship, says 2023 Nuh violence accused; moves HC for nod to join procession
Gurugram, Jul 11 (PTI) Cow vigilante Bittu Bajrangi, an accused in the 2023 Nuh violence case, Friday said he has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking permission to take part in a religious procession on July 14, the first Monday of the holy month of Sawan.
This year, Bajrangi submitted an application to the administration to allow him to take part in the Brij Mandal Yatra, but his request is pending.
'I have sought permission to go to Nuh for the yatra and have filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. I have the right to worship,' said Bittu Bajrangi.
Authorities are on high alert for the traditional yatra, devoted to Lord Shiva, that will be held on July 14 this year. The district and police administration in Nuh held meetings with the members of the peace committee and sarpanches to ensure that the event passes off peacefully.
The Nuh police have intensified social media surveillance.
Deputy Commissioner of Nuh, Vishram Kumar Meena, said, 'The district administration is fully alert in view of the Brij Mandal Yatra. Guidelines have been issued to all departments concerned, and tight security arrangements have been made.' PTI COR SMV NSD NSD

ED attaches Rs 127 worth shares in case against ex TMC MP
Agency: New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday said it has attached more than Rs 127 crore worth of shares 'beneficially owned" by the son of former TMC MP and businessman Kanwar Deep Singh in a money laundering case. The case is linked to an alleged Rs 1,900 crore ponzi scheme fraud, it said. The money laundering case is based on the FIRs filed by Kolkata Police and CBI against the Alchemist Township, the Alchemist Infra Realty and the Alchemist Group's directors including Kanwar Deep Singh. The accused were charged with orchestrating a large-scale criminal conspiracy to illegally raise Rs 1,848 crore through collective investment schemes, by offering investors unusually high returns or falsely promising to allot them plots, flats and villas. 'The misappropriated funds were systematically layered through complex financial transactions involving the Alchemist Group entities, with the intent to conceal the illicit origin of the funds," the agency said. 'These tainted proceeds were ultimately used to acquire shares and construct Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital," the ED alleged. The 40.94 per cent shares of Alchemist Hospital and 37.24 per cent shares of Ojas Hospital, both located in Panchkula, are held by Sorus Agritech, a company 'beneficially owned" by Karan Deep Singh, son of Kanwar Deep Singh. These shares worth Rs 127.33 crore have been provisionally attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the probe agency said. Kanwar Deep Singh, who had been a TMC Rajya Sabha MP twice, retired in April 2020. He was arrested by the ED in January 2021. The agency has filed two chargesheets in the case and attached Rs 238.42 crore worth of properties earlier.

SC recalls order after finding litigant obtained compensation by fraud
New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday recalled its order on compensation awarded over a land in Gautam Budh Nagar in Uttar Pradesh acquired by the Noida authority, saying it was obtained by fraud and has to be erased from the records being a nullity. A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Ujal Bhuyan and Dipankar Datta adjudicated the dispute over the ownership of land between, which was purchased by three persons Reddy Veerana, Vishnu Vardhan and one T Sudhakar in 1997 and acquired by Noida in 2005 and now forms part of Noida's commercial hub in Sector 18. It was alleged that Veerana fraudulently claimed sole ownership of the land in several proceedings before diverse judicial fora from civil courts to high court and to the Supreme Court in 2022 when top court had passed an order for enhanced compensation to Veerana. Veerana was alleged to have fraudulently ousted Vardhan and Sudhakar and pocketed the compensation amount. Vishnu Vardhan contested the claim of Veerana by initiating several proceedings and sought recall of the May, 2022 order of the apex court. Justice Datta, who penned the verdict for the bench, said from the multiple decisions of this court on 'fraud, what follows is that fraud and justice cannot dwell together". 'The legislature never intends to guard fraud, the question of limitation to exercise power does not arise, if fraud is proved, and even finality of litigation cannot be pressed into service to absurd limits when a fraud is unravelled." The order added, 'However, even if Vishnu had not applied for a review – as a logical corollary of the aforesaid discussions – the decision in Reddy Veerana (2022 verdict) too having been obtained by Reddy by playing fraud, has to be erased from the records being a nullity." The bench also set aside the Allahabad High Court's October 28, 2021 verdict which accepted Veerana as the sole owner of the property and enhanced the compensation from Rs 152.04 per sq. metre to Rs 1,10,000 per sq. metre saying the fraud has vitiated the entire proceedings. 'As a logical corollary of the impugned order being set aside, it would follow that the decision of this Court in Reddy Veerana (2022 verdict), upholding the same, which too was obtained by playing fraud, will also be a nullity, and thus stand recalled in exercise of our inherent powers," the bench ordered. Referring to a 1994 verdict of the apex court, the bench said that fraud was held to be an act of deliberate deception with the design of securing something by 'taking unfair advantage of another: a deception in order to gain by another's loss". 'We begin with recording the realisation that undoubtedly, there seems to be much more than what has met our eyes. However, like all courts, we are bound to decide cases based on the evidence on record, judicially noticeable facts, and the applicable law. Despite Reddy and Vishnu – and to a certain extent Sudhakar – having used the judicial process obviously to secure their personal interests, we cannot be a bystander," it said. The verdict continued, 'If things have happened with a telling effect on public interest, resulting in public funds from the public exchequer being drained, the same has to be dealt with within the bounds of our jurisdiction. In our pursuit for the truth and to uphold the rule of law, we must adhere to established principles unless a valid reason warrants deviation." The top court remanded the case back to the high court and with a direction to implead Vishnu Vardhan and T Sudhakar, the other two owners of the land as additional respondents.
