who-is-v-mohana-the-senior-advocate-recommended-as-a-supreme-court-judge
In a significant move to fill vacancies, the Supreme Court Collegium on Wednesday recommended the appointment of senior advocate V. Mohana to the rank of a judge at the apex court. If appointed, the senior advocate will become the second woman from Tamil Nadu to reach the post after Justice R. Banumathi, and the second from the Bar after Justice Indu Malhotra. Other judges who were recommended for the same post includeJustice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court; Justice Shree Chandrashekhar, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court; Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court; and Justice Arun Palli, Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court. Designated as a senior advocate in the Supreme Court in April 2015, Mohana has worked with prolific faces in the legal and political community, such as Kapil Sibal, K.K. Venugopal, P. Chidambaram, Arun Jaitley, and T. Andhyarujina, among others, and was also a panel lawyer for the Government of India. The path to the Supreme Court V. Mohana, who studied law at the Coimbatore Law College, graduated in 1988 from what was India's first-ever batch of the five-year integrated law course, introduced in 1983. After graduation, she continued an internshipthat she had begun during her college educationin the office ofM. Panchapakesan, working in Tamil Nadu's trial courts till 1992, when she decided to move to Delhi to work under Justice Indu Malhotra, who was then an advocate-on-record. It was difficult for women in those days to get cases of their own, especially in small cities ...Delhi provides lots of opportunities, definitely better than any other city. Because you have trial courts, high court, administrative tribunal, MRTP commission (now Competition Commission, Competition Appellate Tribunal), CESTAT, Army Tribunal, etc. and of course the Honble Supreme Court of India. So there is a varied practice and scope for every field, she recounted in a 2015 interview with Superlawyer . She then moved to the chambers of Senior Advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan, where she worked in several cases widely reported between 1992 and 1996, such as the Amratlal Prajivandas case, McDowell case, and the Jain commission case after the death of Rajiv Gandhi. Over the years, V. Mohana moved up the ladder, earning her a role in theNational Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission back when it was newly formed, as well as additional roles as a Supreme Court mediator and an honorary editor for the Supreme Court Reports (SCR) before the SCR got its own editors. Most importantly, she was a panel lawyer for the apex court's legal services committee, working in a lot of cases between 1996 and 2013, before she was elevated to her present position on April 23, 2015. People have started recognising women lawyers and their good work. But there should be more designations and elevations from the womens section. Women should also work harder and continue to work with sincerity and dedication, she added in the interview.

strategic-move-or-panic-reaction-analysing-cpims-response-to-ed-raids-at-pinarayi-vijayans-homes
On April 3, 2025, when the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) received sanction to prosecute Pinarayi Vijayans daughter, Veena T., in an alleged corporate fraud case under Section 447 of the Companies Acta scheduled offence under the PMLAthe entire CPI(M) leadership was in Madurai, attending the partys 24th Congress. Veena and her firm, Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd, have been accused of receiving 2.7 crore in allegedly illegal payments from the mining company CMRL, owned by Sasidharan Kartha. As news of the development broke during the party congress, senior CPI(M) leaders found themselves having to defend Vijayan. Echoing the position taken by several Kerala leaders, former general secretary Prakash Karat said the party would address the issue both politically and legally. However, there were reports of differences within the Politburo itself over how to tackle the issue. In fact, Bengal state secretary and Politburo member Md Salim said at a press conference that the decision on whether to pursue legal action rested with the concerned partyin other words, Veena herself. On Wednesday (May 27), as the Enforcement Directorate raided premises linked to CMRL and its subsidiaries, as well as the residences of Veena and Pinarayi Vijayan, the party leadership closed ranks in defence of the former chief minister, portraying the action as an attack on the party itself. The ED maintains that its investigation so far has shown that proceeds of crime were generated by the management of CMRL, led by Kartha and Veena, and that the searches were conducted to collect evidence related to money laundering. According to the ED, intelligence gathered during the investigation indicated that Veena was residing with her father, Pinarayi Vijayan, and therefore, the premises where she was staying were included in the searches. When the search team reached the premises where she was residing, her father [Vijayan] was also present, the ED said in a note issued after the raidssuggesting that, as of now, the case does not directly involve the former chief minister and that the EDs action was focused on Veena. Nevertheless, as the raids began, the CPI(M) state secretariat convened an emergency meeting and later issued a statement alleging that the raid at Vijayans residence was part of a political vendetta. The statement said the party strongly protests the political witch-hunt being carried out by the Enforcement Directorate against CPI(M) Politburo member and Leader of the Opposition, Pinarayi Vijayan. The party has called for statewide protests by its cadres at all levels and has also urged Left Democratic Front (LDF) allies to join the agitation. Notably, an emotionally charged crowd of CPI(M) workers allegedly confronted and attacked ED officials as they were leaving Vijayans rented residence after the raids. Interestingly, there are clear signs that the CPI(M) is strategically using the episode at multiple levels. A key strategy appears to involve directing public anger over the raids primarily against the Congressthe CPI(M)s principal political rival in Keralaand its leaders, Rahul Gandhi and Kerala Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan, even though the ED is a central agency under the BJP-led Union government. Following the raids, Vijayan said that the Enforcement Directorates actions would probably give great satisfaction to certain people, such as Rahul Gandhi. The ED has wanted to conduct searches inside the house for quite some time. It appears that this gives great satisfaction to certain people, especially someone like Rahul Gandhi. Because Rahul Gandhi had asked why Pinarayi Vijayans house was not being raided or why he was not being arrested, he said, while also framing the episode as part of the BJPs calculated attacks against the opposition and its leaders. The Congress position is that the ED can continue targeting parties other than their own. None of this is going to finish us off. We see this only as a beginning. Nobody should imagine that actions of this kind can weaken or break us, Vijayan said. The party state secretariat also adopted a similar line, alleging that the raids were part of an attempt to politically target the former chief minister. It should also be noted that these actions came immediately after CM V. D. Satheesan met the prime minister and union ministers. Similar attacks were carried out in Delhi against Arvind Kejriwal by the BJP and central agencies with Congress support, the state secretariat said. Incidentally, CPI(M) cadres raised anti-ED-Modi-VD slogans in large numbers. Keralas home minister Ramesh Chennithala refuted these allegations and said that not even the home department or police in the state had any idea of the raids. He also dismissed allegations that there was a planned connection between Chief Minister V. D. Satheesans visit to Delhi and the subsequent ED raids. Meeting the prime minister after assuming office as chief minister was an administrative necessity, said the home minister. Chennithala mocked the CPI(M)s allegation that the BJP and Congress were jointly targeting anti-BJP leaders, saying such propaganda was an overreach. Meanwhile, state secretary M. V. Govindan alleged that CMRL itself had stated that two persons who are currently members of the state cabinet received money from the company and had admitted to receiving it. Yet, he claimed, no action had been taken against them. Notably, the allegation stems from the discovery of the initials of certain Kerala political leaders in a diary allegedly maintained by Sasidharan Kartha. Interestingly, the initials PV also appear among them. There are also indications that the party is using this episode to energise cadres whose morale has been low after the partys massive defeat in the parliamentary polls. However, observer K.C. Umesh Babu says what he witnessed was essentially a panic reaction from the CPI(M) leadership. Today, I closely observed the scenes in Kannur and Kozhikode during the raids. In Kannur, the raid took place at what used to be Pinarayis own house. The people who arrived first were all leaders. Senior leaders came there right from the beginning to stage protests beyond the barricades. Only by around noon did they manage, with considerable effort, to bring in ordinary cadres. Earlier, whenever anything happened against CPI(M) leaders, party workers and supporters would react spontaneously. That did not happen this time, he says. The CPI(M) is currently undertaking a rectification drive, in which party cadres and leaders at various levels are being encouraged to speak freely and independently about the issues faced by the party. So far, criticism of Pinarayi Vijayan and the state leadership has reportedly emerged in several district-level discussions. That raises the question of whether this episode could alter the course of the partys course correction exercise itself. Political observer Adv. A. Jayashankar says the issue has surfaced at a time when Pinarayi Vijayans image has weakened even within the party. This episode can now go in two directions, depending on the course of action the party chooses, he says. Jayashankar argues that the party has so far failed to provide a convincing or coherent explanation to its cadres regarding the alleged illicit payments episode. In such a situation, one line of thinking could be that this man has become tainted and should step asidethough he may still be sent off with sympathy and respect, he says. Or the party could turn him into a heroic martyr, saying, We will protect this brave comrade fighting for truth, justice, and righteousness, rally its cadres around him, and attempt a political comeback for comrade Vijayan. By speaking about the goondaism of central agencies, they can stage a display of outrage and political defiance. So far, the party appears to be moving in the second direction. Jayashankar, however, notes that broader public perception is against such moves and that attempts to mobilise cadres around this issue could further damage the partys image. Umesh Babu, meanwhile, adds that until there is clarity on what evidence the ED has actually gathered from different locationsespecially from premises linked to CMRLone cannot arrive at any firm conclusion about how the case will develop further. If the ED has recovered solid evidence from Karthas premises, then CPI(M) could face serious trouble, he says. Right now, even CPI(M) cadres are discussing in party committees how Pinarayis arrogance and authoritarian style led to electoral setbacks. But if tomorrow the ED comes out with very strong evidence in this case, wont the narrative shift for even worse? That is why I think we need to wait before reaching conclusions.

from-mekedatu-to-metro-rail-cm-vijay-raises-key-tamil-nadu-issues-during-his-first-trip-to-delhi
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed a wide range of issues, including the Mekedatu dam issue, the arrest of fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy and the Vande Mataram controversy. The meeting comes barely two weeks after the actor-turned-politician assumed office. The meeting is significant as it is Vijay's maiden official visit to Delhi after becoming the CM. According to a government release, CM Vijay expressed serious concern over Karnataka's announcement of a ground-breaking ceremony for the Mekedatu dam project across the Cauvery River. He pointed out that the move was completely against the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) and the verdict of the Supreme Court. He said the development has caused concern among Tamil Nadu farmers and urged the PM to direct the Jal Shakti Ministry and the Central Water Commission not to permit the project without the consent of co-basin states, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry. CM requested Modi to issue a clear directive allowing the Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu (invocation song) to be sung at the start of government events. During the meeting, Vijay also urged the prime minister to take strong measures to secure the immediate release of Tamil Nadu fishermen and their vessels. According to the Tamil Nadu government, 12 such arrest incidents have taken place in 2026 so far, with 58 fishermen currently in Sri Lankan custody and 266 fishing boats seized. Vijay requested PM Modi to ensure efforts by both the Indian and Sri Lankan governments for the immediate release of the fishermen and their boats. Vijay also sought the establishment of the Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS) in Tamil Nadu. He said discussions had been underway within the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) regarding the setting up of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) design and development centre and CABS in the state. Vijay also visited Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. A statement from the CM's office said he told the finance minister that Tamil Nadu continues to emerge as a rapidly developing state and stressed that investment in key infrastructure projects is essential to sustain and accelerate this growth. Vijay requested Sitharaman to prioritise financial allocations for sectors crucial to Tamil Nadus development, including highways, railway projects and industrial corridors. The CM also urged the Union government to establish institutes of national importance in Tamil Nadu in order to further strengthen the states educational ecosystem. Further, he sought financial support for metro rail projects aimed at improving public transport infrastructure in Coimbatore and Madurai.

ED Raids 17 Locations In Parimatch Betting Probe, Seizes Cash And Freezes Rs 3.8 Crore
Mumbai Zonal Office: The Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) Mumbai Zonal Office conducted searches at 17 locations across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, Daman and Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with an ongoing probe into the Cyprus-based illegal online betting platform Parimatch. During the raids, the agency seized movable assets worth around Rs 1.56 crore, including cash amounting to nearly Rs 1.2 crore. The ED also froze approximately Rs 3.8 crore lying in various bank accounts. Several incriminating documents and digital devices were recovered during the search operations. The ED initiated the investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the Cyber Police Station, Mumbai, against Parimatch.com for allegedly duping users through online betting operations. According to investigators, the platform lured investors with promises of high returns and is suspected to have generated more than Rs 3,000 crore in a year. The investigation has revealed that Parimatch and its associates allegedly operated through a complex network of mule accounts, payment intermediaries, and financial inclusion channels to collect, layer and transfer user funds. Officials said that in several instances, user withdrawals were processed without any direct outward payment from accounts controlled by the platform. Instead, deposits made by other users were routed directly into the withdrawing users bank accounts or UPI IDs in multiple tranches to conceal the money trail and avoid direct payment linkage. Investigators further found that user deposits and withdrawals were routed through multiple current accounts opened in the names of software, fintech, and technology-related entities, many of which were engaged in legitimate business activities. These accounts were allegedly used to collect user deposits and route payouts under the guise of vendor payments, business transactions and payment gateway services. The ED also uncovered the alleged misuse of Banking Correspondent (BC) networks, mobile money transfer agents, Grahak Seva Kendras, Cash Management Services (CMS), local kirana stores, and retail outlets for processing payouts and movement of funds linked to the platform. According to the probe, user funds were routed through retailers and Grahak Seva Kendras operating under BC networks. The funds were first transferred to retailers, who then passed them to BC agents. The BCs subsequently recharged retailer wallets, which were later used to make payouts to Parimatch users, thereby masking the actual source and trail of funds. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. The ED said Parimatch aggressively promoted its betting platform through surrogate advertisements under the names Parimatch Sports and Parimatch News. Unlike several other betting platforms, Parimatch allegedly adopted a hyperlocal marketing strategy by sponsoring teams in local cricket leagues across more than 15 states, apart from hockey and football tournaments. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The ED said it has so far frozen assets worth Rs 112 crore in the case.

The Madhya Pradesh government has made shocking allegations in the dowry death case of Twisha Sharma, a former model-actor from Noida, who was found hanging at her marital residence in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on the night of May 12. Appearing before the Madhya Pradesh High Court, the government claimed that injuries found on Twisha's body were inflicted before her death. While the HC was hearing the petitions seeking cancellation of Twisha's mother-in-law's anticipatory bail, the government alleged that both Giribala Singh and her son Samarth Singh subjected the deceased woman to cruelty over dowry and told her that the money spent by her family for the wedding was not enough. It went on to claim that the injuries on her wrist, elbow and head could have been caused during a scuffle or struggle. The government also added that the injuries could not have occurred after Twisha's death or while her body was being taken down, as per the post-mortem. The government accused Giribala of not cooperating with its probe even after notices were served on May 13 and 14. Meanwhile, a Bhopal court on Wednesday sent Samarth to CBI custody two days after the agency took over the probe. It has re-registered a Madhya Pradesh police FIR against Giribala and Samarth under Sections 80(2) (punishment for dowry death), 85 (husband or his relative subjecting woman to cruelty) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita along with relevant provisions of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Advocate Ankush Pandey, lawyer of Twisha's family, says, Earlier, the accused Samarth was arrested by the SIT. He was brought from Jabalpur to Bhopal and produced before the court. After being presented before the Magistrate, the SIT sought seven days of police remand, which was granted. Subsequently, the CBI registered an FIR in the same matter and named both individuals as accused. Since the custody and all related documents have now been handed over to the CBI, any further investigation in the case will be conducted by the CBI. Therefore, today's proceedings in the Magistrate Court were merely a formality, as the custody is no longer required by the SIT because the investigation has been transferred to the CBI. From this point onward, any further legal proceedings will take place in the concerned CBI court, and the CBI will continue the investigation. On Sunday, a team of doctors from AIIMS-Delhi conducted a second postmortem of Twisha in Bhopal following directions from the Madhya Pradesh High Court, after her parents raised serious concerns about procedural lapses by local authorities.
