The Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed the plea by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited of Adani challenging disqualification of its bid for upgrade of the container terminal in Navi Mumbai by the Board of Trustees of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice M.S. Karnik rejected the plea as non-meritorious and directed the companies to pay ₹5 lakh to JNPA. Since Adani Ports has already submitted Rs 4.25 lakh with the tender to JNPA, it will deposit the remaining ₹75, 000. The Bench also refused Adani Ports’s request to maintain status quo and not open bids till it sought relief before the Supreme Court. As per the plea the said bidding process consisted of two stages, the first stage was a global invitation of ‘Request for Qualification’ (RFQ) seeking application from interested parties.

Amidst all the political drama in Maharashtra , the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday summoned Shiv Sena leader and spokesperson Sanjay Raut in a money laundering case of 2018. He has been summoned to be present before the central agency on June 27 in a case relating to the irregularities in the redevelopment of Patra Chawl project at Goregaon. The Member of Parliament tweeted, “I just came to know that the ED has summoned me. Good ! There are big political developments in Maharashtra. We, Balasaheb’s Shivsainiks are fighting a big battle. This is a conspiracy to stop me. Even if you behead me, I won’t take the Guwahati route. Arrest me ! Jai Hind” The case dates back to March 2018 when an FIR was registered under the provision of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against M/s Guru Ashish Construction, Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited’s (HDIL) promoters Rakesh and Sarang Wadhwan on the basis of a complaint filed by an executive engineer of the Maharashtra … [Read more...] about ED summons Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut in money laundering case

At the China border It is worrisome that China is upgrading its defence equipment on its border with India (Page 1, “China upgraded firepower on LAC”, June 27). That these developments in terms of a military infrastructure build-up have been going on ever since the stand-off between India and China confirms the point that China has been planning meticulously in terms of a permanency. One wonders where the talks that have been held so far on disengagement and de-escalation are heading if China is working to a plan. Though India has expanded its military capabilities and augmented its border defence infrastructure, it should be alert to face any eventualities. D. Sethuraman, Chennai If the report is true, it reveals the true intentions of Beijing. And if the shared interests of India and China are dominant in other spheres, it is not clear why no major headway has been made to de-escalate the situation on the border. Keeping the border issue alive will only lead to unintended … [Read more...] about Letters to the Editor — June 28, 2022

Maharashtra politics Maharashtra is witnessing the usual game politicians play — that of large-scale defections, which is an offshoot of personal ambition, which disrespects and tears to shreds the will of the people that is so sacrosanct in a democracy (Page 1, “Ban orders in Mumbai as MLAs’ offices attacked”, June 26). And, it is now spilling on to the streets. Whatever might be the reason for the crisis, the verdict of the people which handed over governance to the MVA Alliance must be respected and honoured. If the drama is a manifestation of the “national party” taking revenge on the Sena, its once all-weather ally, for deserting the Hindutva bandwagon, the writing on the wall for India’s future is clear: it looks rather bleak, as an unbridled ideology has only meant communal unrest and giant retrograde steps for India, nationally and internationally. One hopes that the crisis in Maharashtra is doused soon by well-meaning politicians — if there is anyone who still exists in that … [Read more...] about Letters to the Editor — June 27, 2022
