IPL 2024: Hayden Labels Bairstows Unbeaten 108 As one Of The Great Innings Of T20 History
Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden heaped praise on Punkab Kings' extraordinary batting and called it a perfect chase after the Kings set the record of highest successful chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS now own the record for highest successful chase in T20 history. Yeah, it had to be the perfect run chase and it was, said Hyaden on Star Sports Cricket Live. I mean inside that power play they were extraordinary. They absolutely roasted anyone that came across them apart from Narine. It was a beacon of hope for just cutting short this enormous run chase. But reality is these batters are getting so good at hitting balls. It is a batting thon this IPL. And we are seeing some extraordinary scenes. Tonight who would have ever thought that we were going to witness something as grand as what we saw here. From Jonny Bairstow who hasn't been at this tournament of any kind of note this IPL, and he has arrived with a terrific hundred. Riding on the back of Jonny Bairstows unbeaten 108 and Shashank Singhs unbeaten 68, Kings' chased down the the biggest total of T20 history on Friday. The stage was set at the iconic Eden Gardens, where Punjab Kings embarked on an audacious chase of 262 runs. Jonny Bairstow, returning to the Kings' lineup after a stint on the sidelines, took center stage with a breathtaking display batting as he bludgeoned an unbeaten 108 off just 48 deliveries. Shashank Singh thrust into the spotlight at No. 4, embraced the challenge with gusto, smashing an unbeaten 68 off 28 balls to cement his status as one of the season's standout performers. Friday's fixture also produced the most sixes (42) in a T20 match. It surpassed the 38 hits by Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad last month and by Royal Challengers Bengaluru and SRH in Bengaluru last week. One of the great things that Jonny Bairstow said there is that it was an important way that we had to start. I mean we were working out before that his first game in T20 cricket was back in 2010. And he also had mentioned as well that the calmness at the crease. To be calm when you know you've got to break a record. In the history of IPL cricket, to win and still to have that presence. They're almost like forces batters into an absolute no-loss situation. They just go out with clarity. With definition. And they just have to do it. That calmness is such a unique element under pressure. And we've seen that delivered a few times, haven't we, this IPL. So we're seeing something very special here. And we have all these great conversations in the green room here as we're waiting. And our four bowlers, they've got the brunt of why it is under pressure they're not executing this IPL like we've seen, he added.
GT eyes collective improvement against revamped RCB
GT eyes collective improvement against revamped RCB In need of a total reboot, Gujarat Giants will be wary of Royal Challengers Bengalurus newfound firepower in the middle-order when the two teams clash in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday. The Giants are now seventh on the table with eight points from nine matches, and they require a victory to float above the growing pile, constituted by Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals who are also on eight points. To begin with, the Gujarat side needs their pacers to step up. Their pace bowling unit has been underwhelming throughout this IPL. Mohit Sharma (10 wickets, economy: 10.35), Umesh Yadav (7 wickets, 10.55), Sandeep Warrier (5 wickets, 10.85) have leaked runs in plenty while backup quicks such as Spencer Johnson and Azmatullah Omarzai too have not inspired much confidence. Their spinners Rashid Khan (8 wickets), R Sai Kishore and Noor Ahmad (6 wickets each) have been steady without being spectacular. The troikas task will be even harder now considering RCB have found a flicker of hope in their middle-order consisting of Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green. They can take consolation from the fact that dew will not be a significant factor in a day game, but tackling Patidar, in particular, and Green need much more than help from conditions. After a modest beginning to the season, Patidar has shown smidgeons of his batting skills, especially against the spinners. He made forceful fifties while tackling Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy (KKR) and Mayank Markande (SRH) in the last two matches while batting through the middle phase. While his 23-ball 52 carried RCB nearly home against Kolkata, Patidars 20-ball 50 came in a winning cause against Hyderabad. The right-hander, whose strength is his excellent eye-hand coordination rather than innovation, will be eager to make a similar impact against the GT spinners. Green too was impressive during his 20-ball 37 against the Sunrisers that took RCB past the 200-run mark. It has also helped RCB reduce their dependency on Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror down the order for a late thrust, besides freeing opener Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis of the burden of scoring in almost every match. The GT batters would also like to take a cue from their RCB counterparts. Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill have scored upwards of 300 runs in this IPL, making three combined fifties, but the GT middle-order has not really been able to do a follow-up act. The likes of David Miller (138 runs), Shahrukh Khan (30), Vijay Shankar (73) and Rahul Tewatia (153) have had fleeting moments but failed to carry on. The home side will require a heftier contribution from them against the RCB bowlers, who were on the money against SRH while defending 207. Their frontline pacers Mohammed Siraj (4-0-20-0) and Yash Dayal (3-0-18-1) were exceptional against a heavy-duty batting line-up, keeping it guessing with clever variations even on a smooth HCA Stadium surface. Leg-spinner Karn Sharma and part-time pacer Green picked up four wickets equally among them to support their lead bowlers. So, in a day-game they might be hoping for an even more improved show against a vacillating batting unit of GT. Teams (from): RCB: Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan. GT: Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson, Abhinav Manohar, B. Sai Sudharsan, Darshan Nalkande, Vijay Shankar, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Noor Ahmad, Sai Kishore, Rashid Khan, Joshua Little, Mohit Sharma, Azmatullah Omarzai, Umesh Yadav, Shahrukh Khan, Sushant Mishra, Kartik Tyagi, Manav Suthar, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier, BR Sharath. Match starts at 3.30 PM.

''Under the rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy (Andhra CM) in the state...our main priority is to get rid of him and rebuild the state which has gone back 20 years,'' Kumar told PTI in an interview. Accordingly, the TDP has returned to NDA tying up with BJP and Pawan Kalyans Jana Sena party (JSP) for both assembly and Parliamentary polls to safeguard the existence and the interest of Andhra Pradesh, he said. ''The reason behind the alliance is to ensure not to divide the anti-government vote,'' he noted. Claiming that the rise in corruption and anti-incumbency sentiments against the YSRCP government will favour the TDP this time, the party leader said the TDP is highlighting these issues in the campaign along with the six promises it plans to implement if voted to power. The TDP's six polls promises are: create 20 lakh jobs for youth and provide monthly unemployment allowance of RS 3,000 till they secure a job; give Rs 15,000 a year to every school-going child, three free gas cylinders a year; Rs 20,000 annually to Annadata scheme farmers; Rs 1,500 per month to women aged 18 to 59 under Aadabidda Nidhi Scheme and free bus service to women. Asked if the TDP was playing into the hands of BJP as the saffron party might get the support of the regional parties if either wins, Kumar said, ''There is a possibility. But we are supporting BJP at the cost of the future of over 5 crore Andhra people.'' ''The state development is the main consideration for the party, we don't want to consider central politics at this stage. Priorities will change only when things are set right in Andhra Pradesh, not now,'' he said. In the simultaneous 2024 polls to be held on May 13, TDP is contesting Lok Sabha polls from 17 seats, JSP in six and BJP in two. In the case of the assembly poll, TDP is contesting from 144 seats, JSP in 21, and BJP in 10 seats In the 2019 elections, the TDP exited NDA over the alleged lack of enough central funding and demand for special status for Andhra Pradesh. Kalyan withdrew support to the TDP in 2018. Expressing concern over the rising public debt of the state government, Kumar claimed that the debt has risen multifold in the last five years due to ''misrule'' and ''mis-administration''. The state finances are in such bad shape that the government is taking loans from the RBI to release pensions to its employees. ''The loss sustained by Jagan Mohan Reddy's regime is more than the loss incurred due to the state bifurcation,'' he claimed. The TDP leader said that the YSRCP has failed to fulfill several promises including special status to the state, made during the 2019 elections. The CM had promised that if YSRCP gets 25 MP seats from Andhra Pradesh then it would get a special status. ''But after coming to power, he forgot that promise...he visited Delhi not less than 31 times in the last five years. He did not make any demand from the Centre for fear of arrest and threat. He is on the ventilator of the central government,'' he claimed. He further claimed that the central government's schemes have not been implemented in Andhra Pradesh because the state government has not provided a matching grant. ''The central funds have been diverted in the state,'' he said. The CM has also failed to create a new capital for Andhra Pradesh even after completion of ten years of sharing Hyderabad as common capital with Telangana as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, he said. Adding to people's woes, the state government has recently come out with a new 'land title law' under which the original property document of a buyer will be vested with the state government and a revenue authority will be constituted to resolve the disputes and not civil courts, he claimed. ''This is a dangerous Act and takes away the rights of the people,'' he added.

Andhra Pradesh's Revival: TDP Focuses on Rebuilding and Eradicating Debt
Andhra Pradesh's Revival: TDP Focuses on Rebuilding and Eradicating Debt A senior TDP leader has said the priority of the party is to ''rebuild'' Andhra Pradesh and take the state out of the debt trap by getting rid of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National Coordinator (Election) and ex-Rajya Sabha MP Kanakamedal Ravindra Kumar said Andhra Pradesh has suffered more losses during the Jagan Mohan Reddy government than during the creation of the two Telugu states in 2014 when resources were shared with Telangana. According to the state government data, the public debt of Andhra Pradesh has increased from 31.02 per cent of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) in 2019-20 to 33.32 per cent in 2023-24 fiscal, indicating deterioration in the fiscal health of the state in the last five years. ''Under the role of Jagan Mohan Reddy (Andhra CM) in the state, our party's priorities have changed. Our main priority is to get rid of Jagan Mohan Reddy and rebuild the state which has gone back 20 years,'' Kumar told PTI in an interview. Given the changed priorities, the TDP has returned to NDA tying up with BJP and Pawan Kalyans Jana Sena party (JSP) for both assembly and Parliamentary polls to safeguard the existence and the interest of Andhra Pradesh, he said. ''The reason behind the alliance is to ensure not to divide the anti-government vote,'' he noted.

Hyderabad: Cops Bust International Smartphones Smuggling Gang
Hyderabad: Sleuths from Hyderabad task force sleuths on Friday busted an international smartphone smuggling racket with the arrest of 17 persons, including five Sudanese nationals. Police seized 703 phones, including iPhones, worth a staggering Rs 1.75 crore. The arrested included Mohd Muzammil, Syed Abrar, Syed Saleem, Pathan Rabbani Khan, Mohd Athar, Mohd Zakir, Shaik Azhar, Mohd Khaja Nizamuddin, Syed Layeeq, Shaik Azhar Moinuddin, Mohd Shafi and J.

Ranjith Says Vote Out BJP, if You Want Reservation
Hyderabad: Congress Chevella candidate Gaddam Ranjith Reddy appealed to voters to ensure the victory of the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections if they wanted the reservations to continue in education and employment. He cautioned voters that if the BJP comes to power for the third-term, it will abolish reservations on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the RSS in 2025. Speaking in the campaign on Friday, he said Dalits, tribals, weaker sections and women are getting the benefits of reservations in education and employment because of the Constitution written by Dr B.R. Ambedkar. Ranjith Reddy said that if the BJP got 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, it can change the Constitution and abolish reservations with its two-third majority in Parliament. That is why the party leaders are boasting that they will get more than 400 MP seats this time, he said. Warning voters that if the BJP comes to power people should forget about reservations, Ranjith Reddy appealed to voters to realise the threat posed to reservations and defeat the BJP in Lok Sabha elections. He said if the Congress comes to power, it will not only continue the existing reservation system but also enhance the reservation by undertaking caste surveys.
HC Reserve Orders on Excise Transfers
Hyderabad: A two-judge bench of the Telangana High Court comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar on Thursday reserved orders in a PIL challenging the non-transfer of excise officers by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The PIL was filed by Bondili Nagadhar Singh, a retired government servant, challenging the non-transfer of excise officers by the ECI and exempting them from transfers. Counsel for the petitioner contended that there must be reasonable classification between the officers that are transferred and a reasonable nexus must be established by the ECI. Avinash Desai, senior counsel, appearing on behalf of the ECI said that the regulations were applicable across India and officers were transferred out of the parliamentary constitutes in consonance with the election code. He contended that excise officers might be involved but are not part of any core function in the election process, and there is a reasonable classification of officers who provide core functions outside the parliamentary constituencies. He also affirmed that the ECI must issue guidelines which are paramount to society and it might adversely affect the administrative machinery of the government. He said that an inter-departmental portal was established to seize alcohol, money and drugs by any of the officers, including that of the flying squad, and it would not make any difference merely because the excise officers were not transferred. Microsoft quizzed on lake land A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court directed Microsoft India to explain its stance on the alleged encroachment of Tungakunta lake, Nandigam. A panel comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar was dealing with a PIL filed by Bandar Shakariah and 55 others contending that the state government was not taking any action in removing illegal encroachments and in safeguarding the lake. The petitioner alleged that the lake was being polluted by the nearby pharmaceutical companies, namely Natco Pharma. He also alleged that Microsoft was constructing a building by encroaching on the tank area which should not be permitted, and sought a stay. Chief Justice Aradhe speaking for the bench directed the petitioners to also come up with effective suggestions for avoiding encroachment and how the water can be protected from contamination to avoid adversarial litigation. The case has been adjourned to next week for further hearing. Status quo over Asifabad land Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar of Telangana High Court directed the state government officials to maintain status quo with regard to a parcel of land measuring over one acre in Penchikalpet mandal, Komaram Bheem Asifabad which authorities claim to be forest land. The judge directed that status quo will be maintained for six weeks. The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by Eshcol Welfare Society challenging the action of the forest range officer and the tahsildar in interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner's property and trying to demolish the structure and compound. The petitioner constructed a building and open land surrounded by a compound wall admeasuring an acre and 10 guntas in Sy No. 69 situated at Muraligadda village of Penchikalpeta mandal of Komuram Bheem Asifabad district. The authorities contended that it was poramboku land and the petitioner was trying to construct a wall on it. HC faults SCB on illegal buildings Justice C.V. Bhasker Reddy of the Telangana High Court faulted the lethargy of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) authorities for their failure to respond in a writ petition dealing with illegal constructions. The judge directed that the board will be liable to pay costs of Rs 25,000 to the Legal Services Authority if the counter is not filed before June 4. The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by Konuganti Anitha complaining of the inaction of the SCB in verifying and taking action even after nine months of receipt of the first complaint given by the petitioner against the encroachments and illegal constructions at Sri Krishnas KRP Towers, Thokatta village, Maruthinagar, Bowenpally, Hyderabad.
Hyderabad: Pockets of Old City Become Safe Haven for Drugs
nstances of drug peddling and seizing of drugs have multiplied in 2023 in Cyberabad jurisdiction, which has the maximum number of pubs from among the three commissionerates. (DC) nstances of drug peddling and seizing of drugs have multiplied in 2023 in Cyberabad jurisdiction, which has the maximum number of pubs from among the three commissionerates. (DC) Hyderabad: Some pockets of the Old City have turned into havens for drug sale and consumption. Buying ganja is as easy as buying a cup of tea, a former drug peddler claimed. Drug peddlers from other parts have started operating in these areas due to the drastic rise in demand, said Preetam Singh, the former drug peddler. Earlier, only Dhoolpet and Mangalhat were known for drug sales, but now the peddlers are operating from all over the city and nearby districts. According to the residents, the drug addicts can be found in the graveyard of Fatha Shah mosque, Labour Adda lane, Akramnagar and the Yakutpura-Umdanagar railway tracks. If they try to talk to them, the residents claim, drug addicts terrorise them using various methods. It is worst at night. The lanes are occupied by ganja addicts, making it impossible to cross them. There is a stinking smell of marijuana smoke, said Ayesha Fatima, a resident of Talabkatta. Recently my husband Md Hameed and I tried to counsel a ganja addict as he lives in our locality. He took a snake from his pockets and placed it in my hands. I panicked till I realised that it was a dead snake,. When Hameed tried to catch him, he threatened us with a dagger and vanished into the lanes of Akramnagar, she said. They have beaten up residents when they tried to counsel them, said Dr Sameena Begum, AIMIM corporator for Talabkatta. Police said they conduct frisking operations at nights but the drug addicts vanish by the time the teams arrive. They return later to their regular hangouts, the corporator said. Over 80 per cent of the young drug addicts are unemployed. They consume ganja on railway tracks or behind Anwar School, Labour Adda or graveyards, Sameena said. Despite police arresting them several times, they did not change their behaviour and have become a nuisance to the people living in 40 localities in Yakutpura, Bhavaninagar, Rein Bazaar and other areas, she said. According to the law, the drug addicts need to be counselled and sent to rehabilitation centres. We had sent over 100 first-timers to rehab centres. We also arrested over 30 drug peddlers and invoked the PD Act on the repeated offenders, a senior police officer said. It was found that the accused in cases of murders, attempt to murder, snatching and theft were under the influence of drugs, said Mohammed Mansoor, criminal advocate who works at a deaddiction centre. We are coordinating with NGOs and social workers to counsel drug consumers and their parents and urge the citizens to immediately inform the police about drug peddlers and consumers, he said. We have identified drug peddlers who are outsiders. Very soon, we will get them, said a task force official.
Mighty Coronavirus Too Failed To Affect Politicians Income
Hyderabad: The Covid-19 lockdown had affected crores of people, with no salary or reduced salary. With customers remaining confined to their homes, it pushed lakhs of businesses into losses and many shut down. However, some politicians seemed to have bucked the trend. A perusal of affidavits filed by politicians contesting the Lok Sabha elections show that their income was not affected by the pandemic. In fact, it significantly grew between 2019-20 and 2022-23, the Covid years. The total income shown by M. Raghunandan Rao (BJP, Medak) was Rs 9.97 lakh in 2019-20 and Rs 19.18 lakh in 2020-21, a jump of nearly Rs 10 lakh. In 2021-22, his income was Rs 4.89 lakh, after exempting Rs 27.6 lakh constituency allowance. In 2022-23, his income was Rs 1.33 crore, according to the election affidavit. B. Vinod Kumar (BRS, Karimnagar), showed an income of Rs 11.41 lakh in 2018-19. In 2019-20, it increased to Rs 19.48 lakh and surged to Rs 33.42 lakh in 2020-21. In 2021-22, his income was slightly less Rs 33.28 lakh and Rs 33.13 lakh in 2022-23. The income of Velichala Rajender Rao (Congress, Khammam) income rose from Rs 1.65 crore in 2018-19 to Rs 2.36 crore in 2019-20. Konda Vishweshwar Reddy (BJP, Chevella) saw his income dip from Rs 21.45 crore in FY 2019-20 to Rs 4.65 crore in 2022-23 but his assets increased significantly. Vishweshwar Reddy declared his family assets, including those of wife Sangita Reddy and son Viraj Reddy, at Rs 4,568 crore. G. Ranjith Reddy (Congress, Chevella) showed an income of Rs 3.6 crore in 2019-20 and Rs 5.12 crore in 2020-21.
Harsh Summer and Hard Summer Fail To Dampen Workers Spirit of Life
Hyderabad: In the harsh summer heat, roads and markets get sparsely populated as people prefer to stay indoors in the comfort of air conditioned homes or offices. But some people such as construction workers are damned to work under the scorching sun at the temperature of around 44C to earn their livelihood. As Hyderabad is a hub for infrastructure with a bustling real estate market, the construction workers coming from all corners of the country will start their work at 8 in the morning and retire home only after the sun sets. The only respite for them on a harsh sunny day is a cool drink of water from an earthen pot. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle during her lunch break at her construction site in the financial district, Neelamma, who is in mid-thirties, lamented that the day for construction workers begins early. My husband and I head out for work at 8 am. We work until the sun sets, and earn just enough, between Rs 500 and Rs 700 a day, to meet our daily needs. I make sure that my children go to school. But the heat and mosquitoes often make them sick, so we visit the hospital quite often, Neelamma said. Despite their hard work, they are happy and content. Yet, in the evenings, we find comfort in each other's company. Every evening we cook together. Sometimes, the food isn't exactly what my kids want, but my kids understand our struggle and eat what we have prepared for them. Once every three months, we visit our hometown to meet our relatives and take care of their responsibilities. We may be far from home, but our hearts are always connected. As she speaks, her husband chips in to say that they find strength in each others love, which helps them to navigate through the rigamarole of life.
Mudiraj Community to Reject BRS Candidates in LS Polls
Hyderabad: The Mudiraj community, which holds a significant presence in 30 Assembly segments in the state, has decided to vote against the BRS in the Lok Sabha elections to express its anger against the party for its failure to fulfil its demands when it was in power. The Mudiraj community is primarily angry with former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for not fulfilling his promise of including their community in the BC-A category as against BC-D and for not including new members in 5,000-odd fishermen cooperative societies in tune with their population. The community said it would work for the party, which assures them to fulfil their genuine demands. The Medak, Mahbubnagar, and Chevella Lok Sabha constituencies have the highest concentration of the Mudiraj population. The BRS government in its first term had formed a nine-member Cabinet Sub-Committee to look into the grievances of the Mudiraj community. The committee, after a lot of deliberations with members of the community, submitted a report to the government, seeking the implementation of the Fishermen Protection Act and implementation of GO No 6, which assures to include new members aged above 18 in fishermen societies. But the then BRS government did not fulfil the demands, said Dr. Choppari Shankar Mudiraj, president of the Telangana Mana Mudiraj Mahasabha. The community was also not happy over Rao ignoring them politically in his second term. After Etala Rajendar, who hails from the Mudiraj community, was forced to quit, Rao did not included anyone from the community in his Cabinet. Dr Shankar Mudiraj said it was the first time in the states history, including that of united Andhra Pradesh, that the state cabinet did not feature a member from Mudiraj community. Highlighting the BRS neglect for the Mudiraj community, Dr Shankar Mudiraj said the BRS chief had given a single corporation to a Mudiraj leader. Even in the last Assembly elections, he said the BRS had not given a single Assembly ticket to a community member though it demanded the inclusion of its representatives by holding 30 Atma Gaurava Sabhas and a public meeting at Parade Ground in Secunderabad. The community demanded 20 Assembly seats from each political party. The Congress gave three seats and the BJP gave seven seats to Mudiraj members in the Assembly polls, said the community elder Shailendra Shivayya Mudiraj. Rao allotted five acres of land at Plot Number 1 in Kokapet and assured Rs 5 crore for the construction of a building. Except for Bhumi Puja at the site, there was no progress and no amount was released yet. The Congress government, however, assured the Mudiraj community that it would set up a finance corporation for the welfare of Mudiraj members when the community elders met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy recently. The community is seeking the government to set up the corporation with a corpus fund of Rs 10,000 crore, looking at the large population of the community. The community claims that it makes up 14 per cent of the population in Telangana state. According to Dr M Santosh Mudiraj, GO No. 98 of 1964 identifies 32 castes in united Andhra Pradesh as fishermen communities, which includes the Mudiraj community. Among 5,000 fishermen cooperative societies, the Mudiraj hold a major share among their four lakh members. The community sought the protection of their fishing areas from others and sought the strict implementation of the Fishermen Protection Act.

CAT Slaps Rs 50,000 Costs on Prof for Abusing Judicial Process
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) imposed Rs 50,000 costs on the IPS officer-turned-professor for abuse of the judicial process. A CAT division bench, comprising Dr Lata Baswara Patne and Shalini Misra, imposed the fine on Rajnish Kumar Rai, a retired IPS officer now serving as assistant professor at the Indian School of Management, Ahmedabad. The fine is to be paid within one month to the Sishuvihar, women, children, disabled, and senior citizens departments in the Hyderabad district. Rai had challenged his transfer order dated 12.06.2017, which moved him from Meghalaya to Chittoor. Despite initial dismissals of his appeals by the principal seat of the tribunal and subsequent rejection by the Delhi High Court, Rai continued his legal battle by filing a special leave petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court. Rai's pursuit of legal remedies across multiple forums, including the Gujarat High Court and the Supreme Court, with regard to the charge memo dated 16.02.2023, which is currently the subject matter of the SLP before the Supreme Court, was deemed an abuse of the judicial process.
