Murli Deora challenges the jurisdiction of Delhi ACB in investigating complaints against Union Ministers.Former Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Murli Deora has challenged the jurisdiction of the Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) in launching an investigation against him in the Reliance gas pricing issue. The ACB had registered an FIR in the case at the behest of the then Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal..Deora has contended that the jurisdiction and authority of the ACB is limited to the officers of the Delhi Government and if it is allowed to launch full scale investigation into the technical and policy decisions of the Central government, it would be a threat to the federal structure of the Constitution and could lead to State governments threatening Centre for political motives. The Delhi High Court after considering the matter today directed the ACB not to take any coercive steps against Deora and the other accused and deferred the case to October 28..Deora is being represented by Kartik Nayar, Partner at Nayar Agrawal Law Chambers along with advocate Himanshu Gupta..SC says cannot interfere with companies mining extra coal for six months.The Supreme Court today said that it cannot interfere and restrain mining companies, which were granted a six month window to shut down their operations, from extracting and selling extra coal. In an application made by party in person ML Sharma, a Bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu said that the court cannot stop them since they have been given six months time to wind up their operations. Sharma mentioned the matter today and said that the companies were taking advantage of the order by mining three to four times more coal per day than what was required for the end use..“We don’t take any tamasha here”, CJI Dattu pulls up States in PIL on missing children.The Supreme Court today summoned the Chief Secretaries and DGPs of Bihar and Chattisgarh to ascertain their track record in tracing missing children. In a Public Interest Litigation filed by NGO Bachpan Bacho Andolan, the Court expressed its displeasure at the inaction of the States in tracing missing children and said that it would periodically summon the Chief Secretaries and DGPs of different States. “We don’t take any tamasha here”, remarked Justice Dattu who was particularly agitated about the fact that no concrete action was being taken to trace missing children.
