Indian scientist Dr P. Krishnan to head global fisheries network
Digital Desk | Kochi, Sep 8 (IANS) Indian fisheries scientist Dr P. Krishnan has been elected chair of a global network of regional fisheries bodies at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), giving India a prominent role in international fisheries governance for the next two years. Krishnan, Director of the Bay of Bengal Programme Inter-Governmental Organisation (BOBP-IGO), was elected chair of the Regional Fishery Body Secretariats' Network (RSN) for 2026-28 on the sidelines of the 37th Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in Rome. The RSN brings together the secretariats of more than 50 regional fishery bodies from across the world. It serves as an important channel for coordination on global fisheries issues, including small-scale fisheries, climate change adaptation, and ocean governance. Krishnan's election comes at a time when India and three other South Asian countries are working towards national plans aimed at protecting small-scale fishing communities. Speaking at the World Small-Scale Fisheries Summit 2026 at the FAO headquarters, Krishnan highlighted the Bay of Bengal initiative as a potential model for other regions. BOBP-IGO is supporting India and three other South Asian countries in preparing their National Plans of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF) through a coordinated regional process backed by the FAO. India has completed key groundwork for its national plan. The country's task force has undertaken a review of the legal framework governing fisheries and prepared a profile of the small-scale fisheries sector. The regional process envisages draft national plans being prepared and opened for public consultation by December 2026. Formal launches are expected in 2027. Small-scale and traditional fishers constitute the overwhelming majority of India's fishing workforce and play a major role in food security and coastal livelihoods. The proposed national plan is intended to provide a formal policy framework for a sector that remains largely informal and dispersed. The plan is expected to address issues including access rights, social protection and climate resilience. As RSN chair, Krishnan will work with the FAO and regional fishery bodies during 2026-28 on issues ranging from small-scale fisheries and climate adaptation to implementation of the High Seas Biodiversity Agreement (BBNJ) and greater cooperation in ocean governance. The World Small-Scale Fisheries Summit brought together fisher organisations, government representatives and researchers to contribute to the FAO's deliberations on small-scale fisheries and climate adaptation.
Lift stay on CBI probe against former Kerala Chief Secy Abraham: Petitioner tells SC
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 8 (IANS) Petitioner Jomon Puthenpurackal on Tuesday approached the Supreme Court seeking removal of the interim stay on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into alleged disproportionate assets of retired former Kerala Chief Secretary K.M. Abraham. In a counter-affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, Jomon contended that there was no legal basis to halt the CBI probe and urged the court to allow the investigation to proceed. The CBI has also opposed Abraham's petition seeking to stop the investigation. In its affidavit, CBI Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Renuka Devi, who is also the Investigating Officer of the agency's Kochi Anti-Corruption unit, said that Abraham's plea was not maintainable and should be dismissed. The case relates to alleged possession of assets disproportionate to Abraham's known sources of income during the period from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2015. The Kerala High Court had ordered registration of an FIR and a CBI investigation on April 11, 2025. The CBI registered the case on April 25. Abraham subsequently approached the Supreme Court, which granted an interim stay on the probe. A key issue before the Supreme Court is whether prior government sanction was required before investigating Abraham. Jomon has said that no such sanction was necessary, relying on the 1984 Constitution Bench judgment in the R.S. Nayak-A.R. Antulay case. He has also contended that Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, introduced through an amendment in 2018, cannot be applied retrospectively to alleged offences committed much earlier. Jomon also alleged that an earlier Vigilance inquiry into Abraham's assets had been curtailed, with the period of investigation allegedly reduced from 2000-2015 to 2000-2009. He claimed that the Kerala High Court had taken note of the issue. The petitioner has also raised allegations regarding the non-disclosure of property details in mandatory statements submitted by government officials. He referred to properties allegedly held in Kollam, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram, including a shopping complex, a flat in Mumbai and an apartment in the state capital Thiruvananthapuram. Jomon said Abraham's allegation that the High Court proceedings amounted to forum shopping could not be accepted. He also added that Abraham had since resigned as CEO of Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board and as Chief Principal Secretary to the former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan after the change of government in Kerala. Jomon said that allowing the CBI investigation to continue was in the larger public interest and that the stay, if continued at the initial stage of the probe, could impede efforts to establish the truth. Following his retirement, Abraham occupied key posts in the Pinarayi Vijayan administration and was the trusted aide of Vijayan.

Eight engineering students from TN killed in highway crash in Keralams Thrissur
Thrissur, Sep 05: Eight engineering students from Tamil Nadu's Dindigul were killed when their car rammed into a lorry parked illegally on NH-66 in Thrissur district of central Keralam, police said on Saturday. The accident occurred around 11.40 pm on Friday at Panambikkunnu in Kaipamangalam, when the car, travelling from Guruvayur towards Kodungallur, collided with the rear of the Maharashtra-registered lorry, police said. According to the FIR, the lorry was parked illegally on the right side of the highway near a barricaded stretch where traffic had been diverted as part of ongoing construction work. Police said the car was travelling at high speed and its driver apparently failed to notice the diversion barricade before the collision. Six students died on the spot, while two others were declared dead on arrival at a nearby hospital, police said. The deceased were students of an engineering college in Dindigul and were travelling towards Kodungallur along NH-66. Police said five of the deceasedSurya, Yuvasanjith, Joshua, Murali and Jeevawere from Dindigul, while Santhosh and Prasanna were from Madurai and Vishva was from Salem. The students were pulled out of the mangled car during a rescue operation involving residents, fire and rescue personnel and police. Their bodies were taken to the mortuary at Thrissur Medical College, police said. Kaipamangalam police have registered a case against the lorry driver under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for culpable homicide. The driver went into hiding soon after the accident, police said. Police contacted the families of the deceased using student identity cards recovered from the victims. Some of the families were unaware that their children had travelled to Keralam, police said. Relatives told police that Santhosh had recently purchased a car and that the group had planned a trip to Kochi. As the registration of the car had not been completed, they hired a rented vehicle for the trip, they said. Postmortem examinations were conducted at Thrissur Medical College, where relatives arrived to receive the bodies. Hospital authorities arranged ambulances to transport the bodies to their respective native places. Thrissur Rural District Police Chief Mohammad Nadeemuddin said a preliminary investigation indicated that the accident occurred due to the lorry driver's fault. It is definitely a mistake on the part of the lorry driver. An FIR has already been registered. Additionally, regarding the highway authorities and the contractor, we will inspect that as part of the investigation and take strict action, he told reporters. Nadeemuddin said the lorry driver was absconding, but the vehicle owner had been identified, and the driver would be apprehended soon. He said that although a Highway Police patrol unit had been deployed in the area, lorry drivers often parked their vehicles and left the spot. Definitely, parking should not be done here. We will check whether the highway authorities and contractors have installed proper signboards. But as per the preliminary assessment, this is a mistake on the part of the lorry driver, he said. Nadeemuddin said the Kodungallur deputy superintendent of police had been assigned to investigate the case. Legal action has been initiated, and an FIR has already been registered. Given the gravity of the case, we have designated the deputy SP of Kodungallur as the investigating officer. There will be a thorough investigation, and immediate and strict action will be taken against whoever is at fault. Necessary preventive measures will be taken by the police, he said.================

Par panel suggests establishing dedicated NCLT benches for insolvency cases
A Parliamentary panel has suggested establishing dedicated benches or verticals for insolvency cases at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to expedite disposal of such matters as well as ensure that the tribunal gives equal attention for cases under the companies law.

The report on 'Review of Functioning of Tribunal System in the Country' was tabled in Parliament earlier this month.
