Cognizant Faces Bribery Probe in Pune, India
Cognizant Faces Bribery Probe in Pune, India The sessions court here has directed the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Maharashtra Police to investigate allegations against IT major Cognizant Technologies that it paid a bribe through a contractor to local government officials to secure necessary permits and environmental clearances for its campus at Hinjawadi on the city's outskirts. The bribe was allegedly paid between 2013 and 2014. The order was passed on April 19, on a complaint filed by Delhi-based environmental activist and retired police officer Prit Pal Singh through his lawyer Pratik Rajopadhye. The complaint relied on proceedings of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) of the USA against Cognizant Technology Private Ltd's parent firm Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, USA regarding alleged bribing and violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Singh had requested the Pune court to direct the ACB to register an offence under the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act against Cognizant, its Indian construction contractor, and Manikandan Rammurthy, former vice president (administration and real estate officer, Cognizant, India). Additional Sessions Judge S B Hedaoo stated in the order that as the reference to the alleged transaction was found in the US SEC order, there was sufficient material to forward the complaint to the ACB Pune. Unless an offence was registered against the unknown government officers involved the alleged bribery, ''this matter would not move even inch further'', the court observed, adding that without an urgent investigation, evidence in the company's computers may vanish. ''Complaint is forwarded to Anti Corruption Bureau, Pune under section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure for investigation. Anti- Corruption Bureau, Pune is directed to investigate these allegations and submit a report,'' the order said. As per the complaint, the contractor firm which constructed the software firm's Hinjawadi and Chennai offices informed it that bribes were required to be paid to government officials at both places to obtain necessary permits and environmental clearances. Cognizant, USA and its Indian subsidiary allegedly agreed to this, the complaint said. In 2013-2014, USD 7,70,000 were reimbursed by the Indian subsidiary company to the contractor firm (which had allegedly paid the bribe of the same amount on its behalf) with regard to the Pune campus, the complaint claimed, citing the US SEC order. ''Some time in 2016, in the internal audit of parent company at U.S.A. this fraud was detected and as against this bribe amount so pumped up to India, some fake vouchers and bills of non-existing work were raised to cover up the bribe transaction. The parent company in U.S.A. conveyed this fact to Securities Exchange Commission, U.S.A. Before this statutory authority, the Department of Justice of U.S.A. prosecuted the parent company and parent company admitted its offence and undertook to pay the penalty of 25 million dollars to U. S. government by entering into a settlement of deferment of prosecution as per U.S.A. law. The order to that effect was passed by SEC, USA on 15/02/2019,'' the Pune court's order stated. When contacted, Cognizant said in a statement that it does not comment on sub-judice matters and it was ''committed to complying with the law''. PTl SPK KRK
Maharashtra Political Parties Use 42 MLC Vacancies to Pacify Rebels
Mumbai: Political parties in Maharashtra are dangling the carrot of legislative council membership to keep the disgruntled party leaders in check. There are 21 vacant seats in the legislative council and the vacancies will double by the end of July this year. According to sources, all parties have promised the leaders, who were eager to contest Lok Sabha but denied tickets, a seat in the state legislative council. Some have been promised Rajya Sabha membership. Maharashtra has a total 78 members of the Legislative Council. Of these, 31 are elected by members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs), 21 members are elected by local body authorities (like Municipal Corporations), seven members each are elected by graduates and teachers from Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Konkan, Aurangabad, Nagpur and Amravati divisions. In addition to this, 12 members are nominated by Maharashtra Governor. The governor has not nominated 12 members in the Legislative Council. These nominations are done on the recommendations of the state government to the Governor. Besides this, six members, who were elected by local authorities, are retiring by June 21 of this year. Two members each from graduates and teachers constituencies are retiring by July 7 of this year. In addition to this, out of the total 31 members elected by MLAs in the Legislative Council, the tenure of 11 members will end by July 27 of this year. There are already nine vacant seats, which are elected by local bodies, in the council. An official of the state legislature said that the members elected by the MLAs, who are retiring, include BJP's Nilay Naik, Ramrao Patil, Ramesh Patil and Bhai Girkar, NCP's Babajani Durrani, Congress's Wajahat Mirza, Dr. Pradnya Rajiv Satav, Uddhav Thackeray led Shiv Sena (UBT) Anil Parab, Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena's Manisha Kayande, PWP's Jayant Patil and RSP's Mahadev Jankar. They are going to retire by July 27, 2024. We are going to conduct an election on 11 seats, which are elected by the MLA, after the Lok Sabha election, the official said. Nine vacant seats are not being filled due to non-existence of local bodies for more than a year. Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has denied ticket to its sitting MPs Hemant Patil from Hingoli, Bhavana Gawali from Yavatmal-Washim and Krupal Tumane from Ramtek. The three are reportedly upset with their party. BJP leader Harshvardhan Patil had opposed supporting the Ajit Pawar faction due to traditional political rivalry in Baramati. In addition to this, Shiv Sena leader Vijay Shivtare's decision to challenge Ajit Pawar in Baramati had caused tension among Mahayuti. Subsequently, Mr Patil and Mr Shivtare have been pacified by Mr. Fadnavis and Mr. Shinde. A Mahayuti leader said that chief minister Eknath Shinde held meetings with Gawali, Patil and Tumane individually. All of them have been assured about their rehabilitations. We have asked the disgruntled leaders to ensure the victory of our candidates in Lok Sabha. We will do their proper political rehabilitation. They will be given an opportunity to go to the Legislative Council or they can get a ticket in the upcoming assembly elections later this year, the Mahayuti leader said. A BJP office bearer said that Harshvardhan Patil will be given an MLC ticket after Lok Sabha election if Mahayuti candidate wins Baramati Lok Sabha seat.
BoM Reports 45% Surge in Q4 Profit to Rs 1,218 Cr; Plans Fundraiser in FY25
BoM Reports 45% Surge in Q4 Profit to Rs 1,218 Cr; Plans Fundraiser in FY25 State-owned Bank of Maharashtra on Friday reported a 45 per cent rise in net profit to Rs 1,218 crore for the March 2024 quarter, helped by a decline in bad loans and a rise in interest income. The Pune-based lender had earned a net profit of Rs 840 crore in the year-ago period. For full fiscal 2023-24, its net profit jumped 55 per cent to Rs 4,055 crore. Its core net interest income grew 18.17 per cent to Rs 2,584 crore for the March quarter on the back of a 16 per cent growth in advances and a nearly 0.20 per cent widening in the net interest margin at 3.97 per cent. Interest income grew to Rs 5,467 crore during the period under review from Rs 4,495 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago. The bank's non-interest income rose 24 per cent to Rs 1,022 crore during the fourth quarter and was helped by a 40 per cent growth in the core fee income. On the asset quality side, the bank's Gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) were reduced to 1.88 per cent of gross advances as of March 31, 2024, from 2.47 per cent by the end of March 2023. Net NPAs also came down to 0.20 per cent of the advances from 0.25 per cent at the end of 2024. The fall in bad loans ratio helped cut the provisions towards NPAs for Q4FY24 to Rs 457 crore compared to Rs 545 crore a year ago. The bank's newly inducted managing director and chief executive officer Nidhu Saxena told reporters that it is targeting loan growth of 16-20 per cent in FY25, and expects the NIMs (net interest margins) to be between 3.7 per cent and 3.9 per cent. The bank will also be looking to raise capital in FY25, he said, adding that this will be with the dual purpose of bolstering the buffers for loan growth and reducing government holding to 75 per cent in compliance with the Sebi's mandate. At present, the government ownership in the bank stands at over 86 per cent. The bank will have to raise capital of up to Rs 7,500 crore to bring down the government holding to 75 per cent, a senior official said, adding that this will be split in three tranches of which at least one will happen in FY25. However, Saxena did not spell out the exact quantum or route to be adopted for the share sale the bank is targeting but said that it will seek to maintain the overall capital adequacy at 17 per cent, which is the same as the present level. The managing director is targeting a significant increase in the bank's overall heft, and moving up to 10th among the 12 state-owned banks by the end of FY25, up from the current 11th position. The loan growth in FY24 was driven by retail at 19 per cent and agriculture at 30 per cent, while corporate loan growth came at 5.76 per cent. A senior official said it has started the new business and customer acquisition recently, which will focus on services like payments and collection, channel finance and payrolls to drive growth. The bank plans to add up to 200 branches to its network of 2,500 branches, and take the business correspondents to 10,000 from the present over 3,000 by the end of the fiscal, Saxena said. On the asset quality front, it reported fresh slippages of Rs 555 crore, and the gross non-performing assets ratio improved to 1.88 per cent from 2.47 per cent in the year-ago period. Shares of the bank settled 3.65 per cent higher at Rs 67.62 apiece on the BSE, as against a correction of 0.82 per cent on the benchmark.

Not surprisingly, actors who also double up as political activists came in first. Prakash Raj was one of the early voters to come to the booth as soon as voting started.

Actor Darshan, who was seen campaigning for Mandya Congress candidate, Venkataramane Gowda, popularly known as Star Chandru, cast his vote in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, which is part of Bengaluru Rural constituency.

Vote for the country, for the state, for our children Its a very important day for democracy, everybody should respect this day. Everybody should vote, especially youngsters and first-time voters. On an average, 70% vote in Bengaluru. If the rest 30% vote too, then it will be a true democracy, he told presspersons after voting. Actor Kiccha Sudeep, who canvassed for the BJP during the Karnataka Assembly elections, decided to keep away from hustings this time. However, he was among the early voters at Bengaluru Souths JP Nagar. It is a big day. Voting is a hope, not an assurance. The problems are rising in our country. Now, the request should not be for people to come out to vote but for the political leaders for whom we are voting, he said while leaving the booth. Meanwhile, actor Ganesh was spotted standing in a long queue with his wife Shilpa Ganesh at his assigned booth in Rajarajeshwari Nagar. It doesnt matter if the queue is long and one must wait for some time. One must vote without fail since its also a responsibility bestowed upon every citizen of the country, he told the waiting reporters.

Superstar Yash came in with his wife, Radhika Pandit, to cast his vote at Hoskerehali (Bengaluru South) post-noon. After voting, the star said, The government should do what it is supposed to do and it should let people do what they are doing. I think interference should be less. Empowerment should be done, there are so many things that I expect as a citizen. Meanwhile, even as actor Dhruva Sarja was telling reporters that if needed, people must go back to their native places where they have registered themselves and vote, superstar Rishab Shetty sent his message from his native place, Dakshina Kannada. Shetty posted a picture of him flaunting his inked finger on social media, with the caption: We are proud to be citizens of a democratic country. Also, voting is not only our right but also our responsibility. To build a better society, vote without fail to elect a competent representative. I have voted for a better future for our Karnataka. Have you voted yet? His brother-in-law and superstar Rakshit Shetty was spotted at a booth in Udupi, which is also part of the 14 constituencies from Karnataka going to polls on April 26.

Hyundai to expand EV lineup in India, launch five models
NEW DELHI: Hyundai Motor on Thursday said it expanding its annual production capacity to 1.5 million (15 lakh) vehicle units for Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) and Kia India combined. The carmaker confirmed that it will unveil its first locally produced EV in India next year. Hyundai will commence mass production of its first electric SUV model at the Chennai plant at the end of 2024 and produce five more EV models here by 2030. Kia India, Hyundais sister concern, will start production of its local EV model in 2025. This update came following the recent visit of Hyundai Motor Group executive chair Euisun Chung in India where he reviewed the Groups mid-to long-term future mobility strategies. His visit came as the Indian arm of the Korean auto giant is expected to launch its initial public offering (IPO) this year. As per reports, Hyundai is likely to file the draft paper with the SEBI by May and launch the IPO in the fourth quarter of CY24. HMIL is looking to raise over $3 billion in the IPO at a valuation of $30 billion. This initial issue will be the largest in the Indian capital market history. Hyundai said the Group will expand its EV lineup and create an EV ecosystem to accelerate customer uptake and expand charging infra. It will also strengthen its SUV sales leadership. By leveraging our strong reputation and competitive quality in India, we aim to expand exports to neighboring countries, making India the global export hub to boost our regional market competitiveness, said Chung. By 2030, we expect to see a substantial expansion in the EV market. In anticipation of this evolution, Hyundai is focused on developing locally tailored EVs aimed at establishing us as a leading global EV brand, added Chung. We plan to proactively build charging stations at strategic locations including dealerships to facilitate the adoption of EVs. HMIL, which controls about 15% of the Indian market and is the second largest exporter of passenger vehicles, will start operating its Pune plant, acquired from General Motors, in the second half of next year. This facility will be capable of building more than 200,000 units annually.

Bombay HC Seeks Centre, Maharashtra's Response on PIL Challenging Ban on 23 Dog Breeds
Bombay HC Seeks Centre, Maharashtra's Response on PIL Challenging Ban on 23 Dog Breeds The Bombay High Court on Thursday sought the Centre and Maharashtra government's response on a public interest litigation against a circular seeking to impose a ban concerning 23 breeds of dangerous dogs. On March 12, the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying (Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying) issued a circular asking states to ensure that no licences or permissions are issued for the sale, breeding, and keeping of certain dog breeds dangerous for human life. A PIL filed by Pune-based NGO 'Animal Rescue Trust' sought HC to quash the circular and stay its implementation saying it was arbitrary and bad in law and the move might aggravate cruelty against such breeds. A division bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Arif Doctor issued notice to the Union and state governments and sought their response by June 24. The petitioner sought the bench to grant an interim stay on the circular. The bench, however, noted that the Calcutta High Court had already granted a partial stay on the circular. No further executive order or decision has been taken by any authority in Maharashtra based on that circular. We want to first see what the Union government has to say, the court said. The PIL claimed that the ban has been imposed on 23 different dog breeds without inviting suggestions from all stakeholders. The circular is non-factual without any scientific proof of ferocity of the said breeds and is based on random dog bite incidents, the PIL said. It added that similar petitions have been filed in other HCs challenging the circular. Some HCs have stayed implementation of the circular, the plea said. The petition said the ban is arbitrary, claiming that it lacks any scientific study, empirical evidence or comprehensive study. Such a ban would aggravate cruelty against such breeds, the PIL said. The impugned circular, based on recommendations of an Expert Committee, prohibits the importing, breeding, selling, and keeping of certain dog breeds, including cross-breeds, citing concerns about their potential danger to human life. The local bodies were directed to enforce the ban and sterilise existing pets of the prohibited breeds. The circular identifies breeds (including mixed and cross breeds) like Pitbull Terrier, Tosa Inu, American Staffordshire Terrier, Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino, American Bulldog, Boerboel, Kangal, Central Asian Shepherd Dog (ovcharka) and Caucasian Shepherd Dog (ovcharka) as dangerous. It also mentions breeds such as South Russian Shepherd Dog (ovcharka), Tornjak, Sarplaninac, Japanese Tosa and Akita, Mastiffs (boerbulls), Rottweiler, Terriers, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Wolf Dogs, Canario, Akbash dog, Moscow Guard dog, Cane corso, and every dog of the type commonly known as a Ban Dog (or Bandog).
