After raiding premises linked to former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his son-in-law and former minister Mohamed Riyas and others in connection with the CMRL money laundering case, the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday said it has frozen approximately 18.36 crore across 242 bank accounts identified during the search operations. The ED said it found several incriminating records and accounts, digital evidences, investments and bank FD. The recovered evidences are being analysed, the agency stated. The searches were conducted at 10 locations in Kottayam, Ernakulam, Kannur, Thiruvananthapuram, and Bengaluru. Premises linked to Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) Managing Director S.N. Sasidharan Kartha, his son Saran S. Kartha, Pinarayi's daughter Veena T. and her company Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd were among those searched. CMRL, a publicly listed company, has nearly 49 per cent public shareholding, while Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC), a state PSU, holds over 13 per cent stake in the company as of March 2023. The case traces back to income tax department searches conducted in January 2019, during which alleged fake expense amounting to around 130 crore was detected. According to the ED, CMRL later admitted before the Income Tax Settlement Commission (ITSC) that several bogus expenses had been booked. The ITSC reportedly noted that these funds were used for bribing various individuals. Following the tax findings, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) initiated a corporate fraud investigation under directions from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Based on the SFIO probe, the ED launched a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). CMRL had challenged the ED investigation before the Kerala High Court, arguing that there was no predicate offence to justify a PMLA probe. In April 2024, the court had granted interim protection from coercive action. However, the legal position changed after the SFIO filed a prosecution complaint on April 3, 2025, before the Additional Sessions Court-VII in Ernakulam, naming Sasidharan Kartha and 12 others in connection with alleged corporate fraud offences scheduled under the PMLA. On May 26, the Kerala High Court dismissed CMRLs writ petition, holding that the ED was legally empowered to initiate investigations and noting that a predicate offence now existed in light of the SFIO complaint. According to the SFIO findings cited by the ED, Sasidharan Kartha and his son allegedly received cumulative remuneration of 30.63 crore between FY 2015-16 and FY 2022-23 despite the company not paying dividends during the period. Investigators also alleged that fictitious cash expenses worth 182 crore were booked over a span of 15 years and that these funds were used for bribery payments. Another allegation relates to payments of 91 crore towards transport services to firms allegedly controlled by the Kartha family. The ED stated that one of the alleged fake expenses involved payments made to Veena's Exalogic Solutions, purportedly for IT consultancy services. According to investigators, Exalogic received 2.78 crore from CMRL without providing corresponding services. The agency also alleged that Empower India Capital Investment Pvt Ltd, operated by Sasidharan Kartha, extended loans totaling 50 lakh to Exalogic despite delays in repayment.
how-west-bengal-s-eid-2026-celebrations-will-differ-from-previous-years
This time, Eid celebrations will be different in West Bengal, with the mass congregation taking place at the Brigade Parade Ground, instead of Red Road, where around three lakh people gather to offer namaz twice a year. The new Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has prohibited offering prayers on roads by blocking the traffic, which is why Friday prayers and the Eid namaz are taking place on at the Brigade Parade Ground and within mosques. Preparations have been made on the ground to accommodate the huge turnout. If we didnt get permission on Red Road, we got permission on Brigade Parade Ground, which is a bigger spacethere is no problem. The place has changed but it is an open space, said Shafique Qazmi, the shahi imam of Nakhoda Masjid, while agreeing that the country and the Muslim community needed to progress. People should offer sacrifice responsibly. There is no need to worry. Offer sacrifice responsibly, offer namaz responsibly, he added. Others offering namaz this year at theBrigade Parade Ground were also of the same opinion. If the roads are a hinderance, if the sacrifice of a big animal hurts the sentiments of our fellow brothers, then religiously we should do it. It is not mandatory we sacrifice a cow, said Imran Zaki from Kolkata. We need to build bridges, not wars. We have always been part of a shared future. The permission to use the Brigade Parade Ground was given by the Army and approved by the Kolkata police after a request from the Calcutta Khilafat Committee, which is the organisation that officially sought permission to offer namaz at both locationsboth of which are under their jurisdiction. The BJP's new diktat has been followed over the last few weeks, and on Eid, several people flocking to the mosque for prayers will pray in two batches. The government also invoked the 1950 Animal Slaughter Act, where cows and buffaloes below the age of 14 could not be slaughtered. A certificate has to be obtained by the panchayat veterinary doctor that the animal is ailing and fit for slaughter. Slaughtering also cannot take place in public places and can only take place in municipal slaughterhouses. If there are restrictions on slaughtering one animal there is no problem, noted the imam of Nakhoda Masjid. In contrast, the former Left Front and Trinamool Congress (TMC) governments neither stopped prayers from being offered on roads, nor imposed restrictions on animal slaughter and restrictions in public places.

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.
