For deciding the question whether the rig was imported into India, the requirement of home consumption has to be satisfied, the bench said. The Supreme Court, in Commissioner Of Customs, Mumbai Vs M/S Aban Loyd Chiles Offshore Ltd, has held that mere repair of a vessel is not putting the vessel to use in India and would not result in home consumption, so as to constitute a taxable import.A bench comprising Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Prafulla C Pant dismissed the appeals filed against the tribunal order, which held that the rig cannot be said to have been imported into India when it had anchored twice in 1996 and once in 1998 for the purpose of repair, for the element of home consumption is missing even when the vessel, i.e., the rig, had entered the territorial waters.“Repairs are carried on the vessel and not to utilise the vessel.

Sean Hannity and his guests discussed possible crimes involving Russia and American politicians, as well as obstruction of justice.

Hulk Hogan played media coverage in court of Gawker’s publishing of a 2012 e-mail by then-NBC anchor Brian Williams.Williams (who is now on MSNBC after, uh, developments) wrote Gawker founder Nick Denton, not only saying he loved the infamous news site, but even recommended a story: that maybe they should’ve covered singer Lana Del Rey’s apparently terrible musical performance on Saturday Night Live. He called it “one of the worst outings in SNL history.” So Gawker went ahead and published his letter online. NBC went into damage control mode—remember which network SNL is on—and privately asked the people at Gawker to please take the e-mail down.“That was sent in confidence as friends and absolutely never intended to be public.” NBC’s PR team wrote.
