Morocco beat Netherlands on penalties, reach World Cup last 16 again

Published by Webster

Issa Diop spent years waiting for a country that would finally call him. Ismael Saibari built his career inside the country he had just helped eliminate. On Monday night in Monterrey, those two men were the difference. Morocco beat the Netherlands 3-2 on penalties, after a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes, to reach the World Cup round of 16 for the second tournament running. They will face Canada on July 4. Diop had never scored for Morocco before. Born in Toulouse to a Senegalese father and a Moroccan mother, he came through France’s youth ranks and kept hoping his country would eventually call him up. It never did. He made his Morocco debut in March, four years into a Premier League career that had taken him from West Ham to Fulham, the decision landing in the middle of a real dispute between the two countries of his parents’ birth over a stripped continental title. In the 91st minute, with the country he’d waited years to choose two minutes from elimination, he rose above Virgil van …

Supreme Court rules High Courts cannot waive stamp duty penalties

Supreme Court rules High Courts cannot waive stamp duty penalties

Published by Webster

The Supreme Court has ruled that a High Court cannot waive the statutory penalty payable on deficient stamp duty, holding that such power lies exclusively with the competent authority under the relevant Stamp Act.   In a significant judgment, a bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and K. Vinod Chandran set aside a Karnataka High Court order to the extent it had exempted payment of penalty while directing payment of deficient stamp duty on lease documents.  The apex court was dealing with an appeal arising out of a long-pending partition suit filed in 2008, where the admissibility of two lease documents was contested on the ground of insufficient stamping.  The Justice Sanjay Kumar-led Bench clarified that once an instrument is found to be insufficiently stamped, its impounding is mandatory under the Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957, and the statutory scheme leaves no room for courts to dilute penalty provisions in the manner adopted by the High Court.  “The High Court cannot, by itself, direct payment of stamp duty and absolve the penalty which is otherwise mandated under …

UT seeks amendment to Punjab Act to rationalise penalties imposed in building violation cases | Chandigarh News

UT seeks amendment to Punjab Act to rationalise penalties imposed in building violation cases | Chandigarh News

Published by Parlour News

In a major relief for city residents, industrialists and traders, the Chandigarh Administration has sent a proposal to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) seeking an amendment to the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act to rationalise penalties imposed in thousands of building violation cases. At present, more than 5,000 notices related to building violations are pending across Chandigarh, primarily involving industrial units and commercial properties. Once Parliament approves the proposed amendment, the UT Administration will be empowered to revise and rationalise penalties at its own level, paving the way for the settlement of these long-pending cases. The demand for rationalising penalties has been raised by the city’s business community for several years. However, the issue could not be addressed earlier as any change in penalty structure requires a statutory amendment to the Act. With the proposal now forwarded to the Centre, a resolution appears to be in sight. Penalties exceed property value in some cases Chandigarh’s Chief Secretary H Rajesh Prasad said that during a review of building violation cases, it was found …

England leaning on Artificial Intelligence for vital edge at 2026 FIFA World Cup | Football News

Published by Webster

England haven’t been football World Champions since 1966, and are looking at every avenue that can give them an edge to end their long drought in North America next year. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in almost every facet of human endeavour and the Three Lions are banking on it to turn from contenders to winners. From taking penalties to tactical decisions to looking after players’ wellbeing, the decision-makers are determined to leave nothing to chance, BBC Sport reports. Penalty shootouts have given England a lot of grief over the years, as they have often bowed out of World Cups or European Championships. Even at Qatar 2022, in the quarterfinal against France, Harry Kane missed a late penalty in the near-miss. “AI can show certain tendencies for where opposition players put their penalties that we probably weren’t thinking of,” explains Rhys Long, the Football Association’s head of performance insights and analysis. “When we get to a World Cup, we have 47 teams’ worth of information to profile – where has every player in every …
