A total of 19 premises of these “preferred” vendors located in Delhi, Gurugram and Panchkula (Haryana), Hyderabad (Telangana) and Bengaluru (Karnataka) were covered as part of the action, the sources said. It is learnt that the ED inspected documents and took copies of some from the premises of about six such vendors who were not named. The sources said a probe has been initiated by the federal agency under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) after it received several complaints against the two large e-commerce companies where it is alleged that they were “violating India`s FDI (foreign direct investment) rules by directly or indirectly influencing the sale price of goods or services and not providing level playing field for all the vendors”. There was no immediate response from the two e-commerce companies. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) …

A national or State recognised political party has a reserved symbol that is not allotted to any other candidate in any constituency. What is the present issue? The NCP at present is a State recognised party in Maharashtra and Nagaland. In July 2023, there was a split in the NCP with the Ajit Pawar faction claiming the support of 41 MLAs out of 53 in the Maharashtra assembly. The ECI in …

IND vs ENG: Why does Sarfaraz Khan have a chance to be preferred over Rajat Patidar for Vizag Test? | Cricket News

Published by Webster

A rare Test defeat at home has already put India under pressure, and the team, that will be without their talisman Virat Kohli for the second game as well, suffered a twin blow on Monday as middle-order mainstay KL Rahul and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out of the contest in Visakhapatnam starting on Friday. Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury during play on Day 4 of the Hyderabad Test while Rahul complained of pain in his right quadriceps, a BCCI release said. For a team trying to come to terms with the challenge and positivity of Ben Stokes’ England, losing two senior players for such a crucial game sends them back to the drawing board. The selection committee has added domestic run-machine Sarfaraz Khan, left-arm spinner Sourabh Kumar and off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar to the squad. In Kohli’s absence, Rahul was the most experienced batsman in the middle order and scored 87 in the first innings as India took a 190-run lead. His dismissal on the fourth afternoon was part of a dramatic collapse that …

Panneerselvam challenging a single judge’s November 7, 2023 order restraining him from using the party flag, symbol and letterhead. Justices R. Mahadevan and Mohammed Shaffiq said, the appellant could only approach the single judge to get the interim injunction vacated after filing counter to the suit filed by party general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami.  The judges agreed with senior counsel Vijay Narayan, representing Mr. Palaniswami, that the remedy against the interim injunction was only a vacate injunction application before the single judge and not an appeal before the Division Bench.

Sathish Kumar had granted the interim injunction after finding that Mr. Panneerselvam had not filed a counter affidavit to Mr. Palaniswami’s civil suit, for a permanent injunction, despite being granted sufficient time. Challenging the single judge’s order before the Division Bench, Mr. Panneerselvam had contended he could not be restrained from using the …
