CJI Kant told TOI he ‘never consented to Nalsar’s invitation’. NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant has not accepted the invitation to be chief guest at the convocation of National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (Nalsar) University of Law amid a row sparked by a section of students opposing his presence at the event which snowballed after Bar Council of India jumped in and ordered blackballing of the graduates before retracting with regret.Hours after addressing VCs of national law universities at Jodhpur, CJI Kant told TOI he “never consented to Nalsar’s invitation” to be chief guest at the convocation.”The question of me attending the convocation does not arise,” CJI said. Four days ago, Nalsar confirmed it had, in keeping with tradition, invited CJI Kant to be chief guest at the ceremony that is likely to be held at the end of Aug or in Sept.Of Nalsar’s 1,400-odd students, more than 400 had opposed CJI Kant as chief guest, citing his remarks during a hearing on petitions related to the students’ march to Parliament on July 20 and alleged police excesses.The CJI-led bench is seized of a bunch of petitions seeking independent inquiry into the alleged police excesses on students, use of pellet guns and facial recognition devices for profiling students in alleged breach of right to privacy.It has also accepted a petition by the relatives of injured police personnel seeking strict action against “criminal elements” who infiltrated the students’ agitation and caused widespread violence and damage to public property while abusing PM and other constitutional functionaries.The students appeared to have taken umbrage at the CJI-led bench declining to take suo motu cognisance of the alleged police excesses against protesters when an advocate, without filing a proper petition, made the request on July 22, claiming he had video footage of the same. The CJI had asked him to file a proper petition articulating his allegations.However, when the advocate, without producing a scrap of a paper, persisted with his request that the bench watch the videos, the CJI, with a heavy cache of cases already before him, had asked him not to waste judicial time and suggested he file a proper petition.Petitions raising similar concerns were subsequently filed and entertained by the CJI-led bench, which had asked police not to take any coercive action against students and preserve all video and CCTV camera footage as well as sought suggestions for an independent inquiry into the incident and setting up a commission to lay down pan-India guidelines for graded action by police to control protests turning violent.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe controversy over students’ opposition to the invite to CJI snowballed after BCI chairperson, Manan Kumar Mishra, unilaterally issued a letter to the Nalsar vice-chancellor seeking an inquiry and identification of students who opposed the CJI’s presence at the convocation and threatened to debar them from getting registered as advocates.Faced with condemnation, BCI quickly withdrew the circular.

An SC bench said the evidence for an accidental drowning was more plausible than homicide. NEW DELHI: Observing that the human mind can sometimes act foolishly, especially in the face of unpredictable adversity, Supreme Court has said that such behaviour cannot be the sole basis of conviction and acquitted two men who had been held guilty of killing their friend.They were convicted by trial court and high court because their friend drowned in a river in their presence and instead of trying to rescue him, they left the spot and went to watch a movie, actions which were held as evidence of their culpability.Gujarat high court held that their behaviour was proof that they had killed the friend, and it was not a case of drowning in the river, sentencing them to life imprisonment.Setting aside the order of trial court and high court, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran said there was no evidence to prove that it was a case of murder and held that the deceased had drowned accidentally.”The accused are guilty of having fled from the spot and not having attempted to rescue the drowning person by crying out for help. Their conduct of having gone for a movie after witnessing their friend drowning, though reprehensible, cannot be found to be an incriminating circumstance, to establish murder rather than drowning. The hypothesis of innocence is crystal clear, and circumstances indicate an accident and not a premeditated murder,” the bench said.Disagreeing with the findings of the HC, the bench said, “We also have to notice the high court’s presumption that no person who saw his friend drowning would go to a movie or would take the trouble of bringing back empty soda bottles to the shop from where they purchased it. If such a presumption is accepted then it can be presumed that even after a premeditated murder, the accused would not conduct themselves in that manner.””The human mind, as has often been held by this court, is at the same time fickle, manipulative and imaginative and the actions, the result of a deprived or a foolish mindset, especially in the face of adversities, cannot be predicted. The subsequent conduct on which the high court found possible the prosecution story of murder rather than of drowning, in this case we are unable to accept. It is the hypothesis of an accidental drowning that looms large from the evidence led at the trial; more plausible than a homicide,” SC said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesChallenging their conviction, the accused submitted that they, at worst, could be held guilty of a misadventure which turned fatal for their friend, and there was absolutely no evidence to prove even a homicidal death.

ED investigation into a Kolkata-based aviation company. NEW DELHI: An ED investigation into a Kolkata-based aviation company has found that the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress allegedly funded Rs 160 crore from the party’s coffers to a little-known firm, Carewell Aviation India Pvt Ltd, to buy an Embraer jet and an Agusta VIP helicopter, which it subsequently rented out to TMC for Rs 187 crore.Sources said the money laundering probe was focused on TMC providing an interest-free security deposit of Rs 88.5 crore to the aviation company, which had no funds to buy the jet and the chopper it then gave to the party on rent. As soon as it received the security deposit, Carewell Aviation transferred it to its offshore entity, Carewell Flyjet IFSC Pvt Ltd, registered in Gujarat’s Gift City, treated as foreign territory, for further purchase of the jet and the helicopter.Another fund transfer of over Rs 16 crore from Cayman Island and related to the deal is under investigation.TMC was required to pay Rs 186.9 crore, exclusive of GST, for using the jet over 72 months and the chopper for 56 months. Although it did not fully utilise the minimum guaranteed flying hours under the charter agreement, the party went on to hire aircraft and helicopters from other companies during this period (2021-26) for a sum of Rs 149 crore, sources said.When contacted, a TMC source said, “Since the matter is sub judice, we do not want to comment.”The “suspicious” nature of transactions has led ED to delve into the issue of why TMC paid an interest-free security deposit of Rs 88.5 crore when it had to pay charges for renting the aircraft and helicopter. The agreement provided that TMC pay a minimum monthly charge of Rs 90 lakh for the aircraft and Rs 60 lakh for the helicopter.Carewell Aviation came into being only a few months after TMC returned to office for the third time after the April 2021 assembly elections. Then, after losing the assembly polls in 2026, TMC paid three months advance rental to the company to cover the period till Sept 2026: something that the agency says is contrary to the norm.Sources said ED has questioned directors of Carewell Aviation over these transactions and recorded their statements on issues such as why it charged TMC Rs 16.5 lakh per flying hour for the jet and when it billed others, who had not helped it with something as crucial as a security deposit, a much lower amount of Rs 7.6 lakh per hour for flying Embraer.Investigations also showed, sources said, that TMC paid Rs 75 lakh per flying hour to another charter service, Windborne Aviation, for hiring a Falcon 2000 aircraft. TMC used the Falcon aircraft for only about 11-12 flying hours but paid Rs 9.1 crore, which was roughly Rs 75.7 lakh per flying hour.According to sources, the money trail showed that over Rs 160 crore was transferred to Carewell Aviation and its group entities between July 2021 and June 2026 for “charter services” for the Embraer aircraft and the Agusta chopper. Investigators suspect the transaction to be an “artificial commercial arrangement” and a “calculated device”, bereft of any genuine actual financial rationale, considering that the two aircraft were allegedly purchased entirely out of the corpus received from TMC, and the two aviation assets were rented back to the party.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe jet was purchased two months after the charter agreement was signed and security deposit provided.

ED investigation into a Kolkata-based aviation company. NEW DELHI: An ED investigation into a Kolkata-based aviation company has found that the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress allegedly funded Rs 160 crore from the party’s coffers to a little-known firm, Carewell Aviation India Pvt Ltd, to buy an Embraer jet and an Agusta VIP helicopter, which it subsequently rented out to TMC for Rs 187 crore.Sources said the money laundering probe was focused on TMC providing an interest-free security deposit of Rs 88.5 crore to the aviation company, which had no funds to buy the jet and the chopper it then gave to the party on rent. As soon as it received the security deposit, Carewell Aviation transferred it to its offshore entity, Carewell Flyjet IFSC Pvt Ltd, registered in Gujarat’s Gift City, treated as foreign territory, for further purchase of the jet and the helicopter.Another fund transfer of over Rs 16 crore from Cayman Island and related to the deal is under investigation.TMC was required to pay Rs 186.9 crore, exclusive of GST, for using the jet over 72 months and the chopper for 56 months. Although it did not fully utilise the minimum guaranteed flying hours under the charter agreement, the party went on to hire aircraft and helicopters from other companies during this period (2021-26) for a sum of Rs 149 crore, sources said.When contacted, a TMC source said, “Since the matter is sub judice, we do not want to comment.”The “suspicious” nature of transactions has led ED to delve into the issue of why TMC paid an interest-free security deposit of Rs 88.5 crore when it had to pay charges for renting the aircraft and helicopter. The agreement provided that TMC pay a minimum monthly charge of Rs 90 lakh for the aircraft and Rs 60 lakh for the helicopter.Carewell Aviation came into being only a few months after TMC returned to office for the third time after the April 2021 assembly elections. Then, after losing the assembly polls in 2026, TMC paid three months advance rental to the company to cover the period till Sept 2026: something that the agency says is contrary to the norm.Sources said ED has questioned directors of Carewell Aviation over these transactions and recorded their statements on issues such as why it charged TMC Rs 16.5 lakh per flying hour for the jet and when it billed others, who had not helped it with something as crucial as a security deposit, a much lower amount of Rs 7.6 lakh per hour for flying Embraer.Investigations also showed, sources said, that TMC paid Rs 75 lakh per flying hour to another charter service, Windborne Aviation, for hiring a Falcon 2000 aircraft.
