Jkhand HC imposes Rs 25-lakh cost on petitioner for frivolous plea
The petitioner, Lilavati Devi, had challenged the construction of a septic tank on a road in front of her residence.
She had also complained before the Ranchi Municipal Corporation, which after conducting a survey, had ordered demolition of the tank.
The petitioner, instead of having her grievances redressed through the corporation, directly moved the high court for which the cost was imposed. PTI CORR NAM RBT

Two held for murder of painter over affair, financial dispute in Delhi
Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) A 47-year-old man allegedly killed a painter in Delhi, suspecting him of having an affair with his wife and not returning money he had lent him, an official said on Saturday. Two men, identified as Vanketesh alias Raja (47) and Gaurav alias Mulli (25), have been arrested in connection with the crime, the official said, adding that the deceased was identified as Rakesh (35), who worked as a house painter. 'Raja allegedly believed Rakesh had an illicit relationship with his wife. He had also lent him money several times, which was never repaid," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said. A raid at Raja's residence in Madangiri led to the recovery of an eyewitness, Ritik Diwakar alias Cheeta, who confirmed that his father-in-law Raja and Gaurav beat Rakesh using a plastic rod, belt, punches and kicks, and slammed his head against a wall. The duo later transported the body in an auto-rickshaw and dumped it near the Karni Singh Shooting Range to avoid detection, police said. 'The incident came to light on July 11 when a PCR call was received around 11.30 am reporting an unconscious man lying on Surajkund Road near the shooting range in Pul Prahladpur area. A local banana vendor had spotted the body while on his way to work," the DCP added. A police team rushed to the spot and found the victim unresponsive. With no identification documents on the body, over 500 CCTV cameras along MB Road, Surajkund Road and Sangam Vihar were examined, and inquiries were conducted with residents and passersby. After a fingerprint match from the Rampura Fingerprint Bureau, the deceased was identified as Rakesh. A case under sections 103(1) (murder) and 238(a) (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) of the BNS was registered at the Pul Prahladpur police station on Friday. While analysing CCTV footage from the Madangiri area, the police spotted a man wearing the same shirt that was later found on the deceased. The man was identified as Gaurav, who during sustained interrogation disclosed that Rakesh was beaten by Vanketesh at his residence. Gaurav has a previous case under the Arms Act registered at the Ambedkar Nagar police station, while Raja has been booked earlier under the Excise Act. Further investigation is in progress.

In Rs 3,000-Crore Anil Ambani Loan Fraud Case, Probe Agency Makes 1st Arrest
Making its first arrest in connection with the Rs 3,000-crore loan fraud case against companies of Anil Ambani's Reliance Group, the Enforcement Directorate has taken the managing director of a company into custody for submitting fake guarantees worth Rs 68.2 crore, sources said on Saturday. These guarantees, they said, were arranged on behalf of Reliance Power. Partha Sarathi Biswal, managing director of Biswal Tradelink Pvt Ltd, was arrested on Friday under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police had filed a first information report (FIR) that Biswal Tradelink - which was founded in 2019 - and its directors submitted fake bank guarantees worth Rs 68.2 crore to the Solar Energy Corporation of India. Sources said investigations revealed that these guarantees were backed by forgeries and fabricated email confirmations - using a spoofed domain, ' which is very close to the domain of the SBI ( The ED found that Biswal Tradelink had fraudulently received Rs 5.4 crore from Reliance Power for arranging the fake guarantees and had been operating at least seven undisclosed bank accounts. The company, the sources said, did not maintain the mandatory records and used dummy directors to sign off on documents. Mr Biswal was produced before a special court, which granted ED his custody till Wednesday. The news of the arrest comes a day after a lookout circular was issued against Anil Ambani in connection with the bank fraud case. The ED has been investigating the alleged diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore in loans given to Reliance Group companies by YES Bank between 2017 and 2019. The agency had found that the promoters of the bank had also received payments just before the loans were sanctioned, indicating a quid pro quo arrangement. The agency had started raids at over 50 firms connected to the case on July 24 and continued them for at least three days. The raids were conducted under PMLA. In a communication to stock exchanges on the raids, Reliance Power had said, "The media reports appear to pertain to allegations concerning transactions of Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) or Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL) which are over 10 years old."
