Ranji Trophy: Karnataka, Vidarbha Register Dominant Wins; Delhi, Odisha Trail Behind At Stumps On Day 3

Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground: Karnataka, Vidarbha and Goa registered commanding victories by an innings, while Uttarakhand opened their account with a comprehensive 10-wicket win as the third day of the ongoing third round of the Ranji Trophy 2026 concluded on Wednesday. Karnataka produced a clinical all-round performance to defeat Assam by an innings and 314 runs in their Elite Group B encounter in Guwahati, wrapping up the contest with more than a day to spare. The eight-time champions collected seven points, including a bonus point, to move to the top of the group standings with 16 points. Resuming their first innings at 496/5, Karnataka continued their dominance as they declared at 577/6, establishing a massive lead of 442 runs. Assams batting lineup had little answer to Karnatakas spin attack, with Shreyas Gopal claiming four wickets for 39 runs and Shikhar Shetty returning figures of 3/28 to bowl the hosts out for 128 in 40.2 overs. Earlier, Manvanth Kumars unbeaten century had provided the foundation for Karnatakas imposing first-innings total. Uttarakhand also registered their first victory of the season, defeating Haryana by 10 wickets in their Elite Group D clash at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground in Dehradun. After posting 305 in their first innings, Uttarakhand bowled Haryana out for 153, with Mayank Mishra picking up six wickets for 57 runs. Haryanas Nishant Sindhu had earlier claimed 5/89 for the visitors. Forced to follow on, Haryana managed 159 in their second innings, with Jagadeesha Suchith taking four wickets for 50 runs. The hosts were left with a target of just nine runs, which they chased down in 1.2 overs without losing a wicket. Dega Nischals 153 off 387 deliveries was the standout contribution in Uttarakhands first innings. Vidarbha completed an innings-and-20-run victory over Madhya Pradesh after producing a dominant bowling performance across both innings. Having dismissed Madhya Pradesh for 209 in their first innings, Vidarbha posted 334/9 before declaring their innings. The visitors struggled once again in their second innings and were dismissed for just 105. Harsh Dubey was the standout performer, taking nine wickets in the first innings, while Dubey and Parth Rekhade claimed five wickets apiece in the second to seal the victory. Goa joined the list of teams registering innings victories after defeating Bihar by an innings and 177 runs. Goa built their commanding position with a first-innings total of 397 before bowling Bihar out for 107. Following on, Bihar failed to put up a stronger fight and were dismissed for 113 in their second innings, handing Goa a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Mumbai strengthened their position against Railways, with a 141-run opening partnership between Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena taking their second-innings lead beyond 300 runs. Raghuvanshi scored 79 before falling, while Tushar Deshpande, Suryansh Shedge and Musheer Khan also departed cheaply as Mumbai lost a cluster of wickets during the final half-hour of play. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian had earlier delivered an impressive performance with figures of 7/45 for Mumbai, leaving Railways with a difficult task on the final day. In the encounter between Delhi and Services, the latter held a 202-run lead at the close of play on Day 3. Delhi made an encouraging start with the ball, picking up two wickets in the first five overs, but Mohit Ahlawats impressive 142-run knock helped Services recover and strengthen their position. With only one day remaining, the contest appears to be heading towards a draw, with Delhi facing an uphill task to force a result. Bengal and Maharashtra also witnessed an eventful day, with Mohammed Shamis four-wicket haul helping Bengal dismiss Maharashtra for 218. Bengal, however, lost four wickets in their second innings and reached 76/4 at stumps, holding a slender one-run lead. Play was curtailed due to bad light. In the Gujarat-Kerala fixture, Gujarat enforced the follow-on after dismissing Kerala for 279 in their first innings. Kerala ended the day at 31/1 in their second innings, still facing a considerable deficit. Odisha remained in a difficult position against Jharkhand after the latter declared their first innings at 433/8. Having recovered from an early collapse, Jharkhand built a substantial total and left Odisha with a deficit of 410 runs. Odisha reached 23/0 at stumps and will need a significant effort on the final day to avoid defeat. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Punjab continued to hold the upper hand against Andhra, who reached 240/2 at the end of the day while chasing Punjabs first-innings total of 529/9 declared. Andhra still trail by 352 runs, with Shaik Rasheed and Karan Shinde leading their efforts to reduce the deficit. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Gujarat govt launches Rs 10-crore fund for tech start-ups, offers up to Rs 2 crore per venture

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 4 (IANS) The Gujarat government has launched a Rs 10-crore 'Growth Fund' to support technology-based start-ups, offering grants of up to Rs 30 lakh to early-stage ventures and equity-linked convertible funding of up to Rs two crore to those at an advanced stage of development. The fund was launched by Science and Technology Minister Arjun Modhwadia at the Gujarat Innovation and Technopreneurship (GInTech) Conclave 2026, organised by the Savli Technology and Business Incubator (STBI) in Gandhinagar on Wednesday. Under the scheme, start-ups with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of up to Level 4 will be eligible for grants of up to Rs 30 lakh for proof of concept, technology validation, trials and other related development activities. Those at TRL-5 and above will be eligible for equity-linked convertible funding of up to Rs two crore per start-up. The assistance will cover requirements such as pilot manufacturing, technology demonstration, pivoting and market-oriented development. Addressing the conclave, Modhwadia said around 2.6 lakh start-ups had been registered across the country, with Gujarat accounting for an estimated 18,000 to 20,000 active ventures. The state government had introduced specific policies to help young entrepreneurs take their ideas from the conceptual stage to production, he noted. He also pointed to a shift in the aspirations of young people, who were increasingly choosing to establish businesses and generate employment rather than solely seeking government or corporate jobs. The new scheme would provide technology-based start-ups with financial support to take innovations from laboratories to the market, he said. Modhwadia also highlighted Gujarat's performance on the national start-up platform and the state's efforts to develop innovations aligned with global requirements. He urged stakeholders to make use of government policies, scientific infrastructure and technology-focused platforms, adding that strategic global partnerships could help increase the sector's growth. The conclave also saw the announcement of eight regional Innovation Cells of STBI across six zones of Gujarat. Other initiatives included a cohort-based acceleration platform, the Atmanirbhar Gujarat Fellows programme and measures to promote shadow internships. The STBI also signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with nationally recognised accelerator agencies as part of efforts to strengthen the state's start-up support network. STBI Director Dr Anand Bhadalkar and representatives from the start-up ecosystem, industry, investment firms, incubators, accelerators and other institutions attended the conclave.

Gujarat: Over 70 special train trips to handle festive rush; extra RPF personnel deployed at Ahmedabad stations

Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 4 (IANS) More than 70 trips of special trains are being operated by Western Railway to accommodate the festive rush during Diwali and Chhath Puja, with additional security personnel, holding areas and round-the-clock CCTV surveillance arranged at Ahmedabad, Sabarmati and Asarva stations to manage passenger movement. The special train services, primarily connecting destinations in northern and eastern India, are aimed at facilitating passengers travelling to Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. Additional coaches have also been attached to several regular trains to increase passenger capacity. Divisional Railway Manager Ved Prakash said the arrangements had been made keeping in mind the expected increase in passenger numbers during the festive period. The railway administration had also accounted for passengers travelling on around 20 to 25 through-passing trains arriving from Rajkot and Bhuj and passing through Ahmedabad and Sabarmati stations, he said. The special trains operating in November include services between Sabarmati and Lalkuan, Asarva and Kanpur Central, Asarva and Agra Cantt, Bhuj and Bandra Terminus, Ahmedabad and Mangaluru Junction, Sabarmati and Haridwar, Ahmedabad and Darbhanga, Gandhidham and Bhagalpur, Sabarmati and Prayagraj, Ahmedabad and Mumbai Central, Ahmedabad and Malda Town, Asarva and Prayagraj, and Ahmedabad and Rajgir. The railway administration, Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP) and traffic police have jointly drawn up a plan to regulate passenger movement and prevent overcrowding at the three stations. Separate arrangements have been made for unreserved passengers and those holding reserved tickets. The movement of reserved passengers, from entering the station and reaching the platform to waiting and boarding their trains, has been eased to avoid congestion. A total of 110 additional RPF personnel have been deployed at the three stations, including 55 at Ahmedabad, 40 at Sabarmati and 15 at Asarva. .An additional company of the Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF) has also been deployed at Ahmedabad station. The railway administration has assigned officers and staff to round-the-clock duties at all three stations. Holding areas have been arranged to accommodate passengers in an orderly manner before they are taken to platforms in queues at the scheduled time for boarding. Women, persons with disabilities, senior citizens and passengers travelling with children are being given priority. Ahmedabad station has 119 CCTV cameras, while Sabarmati station has 121. A proposal has also been submitted to install 60 additional cameras to strengthen surveillance. Staff have been deployed in the CCTV control rooms round the clock to monitor station premises and passenger movement. RPF personnel in plain clothes have also been deployed to prevent crimes against passengers. At Sabarmati station, queue management arrangements cover the entire process, from ticket counters and holding areas to platforms and train boarding. Passengers are directed to the holding area after purchasing tickets and subsequently taken to the platform in an orderly manner at the designated time. Announcements through public address systems and loudhailers are being used to advise passengers against pushing or jostling, travelling while standing on train footboards and accepting food or beverages from strangers. They are also being alerted about the safety of women and children during the journey.

Indias manufacturing sector clocks robust growth

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) Indias registered manufacturing sector has recorded a robust 7.25 per cent growth in the gross value of plant and machinery in the year 2024-25 over the previous year, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) on Wednesday. During FY2024-25, the registered manufacturing industry experienced notable expansion, driven by upward trends across key economic metrics, including capital investment, production output, Gross Value Added (GVA), workforce numbers, and compensation in comparison to the prior year, an official statement said. The manufacturing corporate sector, having a share of more than 89 per cent in total gross value added (GVA), has reported growth in the number of factories in operation and total persons engaged by 3.45 per cent and 7.57 per cent, respectively and GVA growth of 9.28 per cent over the previous year. The top five industries -- food products, textiles, basic metals, motor vehicles, and wearing apparel taken together, have contributed more than 41 per cent of the total manufacturing employment of the country during 2024-25. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh have emerged as the top 5 states in respect of GVA, having a share of more than 54 per cent of the total manufacturing GVA of the country in 2024-25. The ministry has released the results of the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) for the financial year 2024-25. Detailed publications of ASI 2024-25 comprising Volume I and Summary Results of Factory Sector along with unit-level data have now been disseminated by MOSPI. The figures show that the factories with an investment in plant and machinery up to Rs 5 crore account for 78.69 per cent of the total factories that operated during 2024-25. While these factories share 10.55 per cent of total fixed capital, their share in total persons engaged is 34.32 per cent. Their contribution to the total output and net value added is 19.24 per cent and 17.61 per cent, respectively. As against this, the share of operational factories, with gross investment in plant and machinery of Rs 10 crore and above, is 15.84 per cent, accounting for 87.42 per cent of total fixed capital, 59.66 per cent of total persons engaged, 76.82 per cent of the gross output, and 78.07 per cent of the total net value added. Annual Survey of Industries is conducted with the primary objective of providing a meaningful insight into the dynamics of change in the composition, growth and structure of various manufacturing industries in terms of output, value added, employment, capital formation and a host of other parameters. It provides valuable input to the National Accounts Statistics at the national and state levels. The results are prepared at the state and major industry level.

Shiv Sena(UBT) targets Centre, Maha govt over extortion threats, bulletproof shield for Big B

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Launching a scathing attack on the Centre and the state government, Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Wednesday cited visuals of megastar Amitabh Bachchan greeting fans from behind a bulletproof glass enclosure as evidence of a total breakdown in law and order under the current administration. In a sharp editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Saamana', the Thackray camp targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asserting that the state of public safety in the country has deteriorated to an alarming low. The editorial noted that the 84-year-old cinematic icon -- a national treasure with no political enmities -- was forced to wave at his weekly fans outside his Juhu bungalow, Jalsa, enclosed within bulletproof glass following a recent threat perception. Pointing to recent firing incidents near actor Tiger Shroffs vehicle and extortion demands served to bullion merchants in Nagpur, the editorial questioned why high-profile film personalities, business tycoons, and ordinary citizens are living under constant siege. The Uddhav Thackeray camp questioned why criminal syndicates, particularly the Lawrence Bishnoi network, continue to operate with apparent impunity. It alleged that a Home Ministry decree preventing state police forces from taking Bishnoi into custody from Gujarats Sabarmati Jail has effectively granted the jailed gangster an invisible security blanket. Mocking the ruling leadership's political rallies and claims of handling national security, the editorial asserted that an administration unable to protect its top citizens and dismantle basic criminal networks has lost its moral authority, and called for Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation. While the ruling leadership stages high-profile rallies under heavy police protection, ordinary citizens, builders, and film icons live in constant terror. How many citizens can the state furnish with specialised defence shields? asked the editorial. The editorial concluded by highlighting the stark contrast between the government's boasts of political dominance and its failure to guarantee basic physical safety for prominent public figures and business owners across Maharashtra.

Gujarat forest guards call off agitation after talks with govt

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 3 (IANS) Forest Guards and Beat Guards in Gujarat have agreed to call off their agitation following discussions with the state government over their pending demands, Forest and Environment Minister Arjun Modhwadia said on Tuesday. The decision came after a meeting between senior Forest Department officials and representatives of the employees association, held on the instructions of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. The meeting focused on the various demands raised by employees of the two cadres, who had been protesting to press for their resolution. Modhwadia said the discussions had resulted in a positive outcome, with the government agreeing to address the employees concerns. However, some of the pending issues require approval from the General Administration Department and the Finance Department. These issues will also be resolved at the earliest after following the prescribed procedures, the minister said, adding that the government is committed to taking decisions in the interests of junior employees and adopting a sympathetic approach towards their concerns. The agitation, which began on October 28 at Satyagraha Chhavni in Gandhinagar, had drawn around 3,000 frontline forest personnel from different parts of the state. The employees had been seeking improvements in their service conditions, including a risk allowance, removal of pay disparities between Forest Guards and Foresters, compensation for working on public holidays, an increase in staff strength and faster disposal of pending transfer applications. The employees had also raised concerns over promotion opportunities and discrepancies in grade pay. According to the employees association, a Forest Guard receives a grade pay of Rs 1,800, lower than the Rs 1,900 paid to Class IV employees. Forest personnel are responsible for protecting forests and wildlife and responding to incidents involving wild animals, forest fires and illegal activities. Their duties often require them to work in difficult and potentially dangerous conditions. The government has not yet detailed which demands have been accepted or specified the financial and administrative concessions that will be granted. The minister said the remaining issues would be taken up with the departments concerned through the prescribed approval process.

Gujarat: RRU launches three training programmes in Fiji for 180 officials from nine Pacific nations

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 3 (IANS) Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) has launched three specialised training programmes in Fiji to strengthen the professional and institutional capabilities of around 180 government officials from nine Pacific countries, including Fiji. The month-long initiative, which began on November 2 in Suva, is being conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Civil Service of the Fijian government, with support from the High Commission of India in Fiji. The programmes will focus on international law and security, stress management and psychological well-being, and cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The initiative is guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'MAHASAGAR' vision (Mutual and Holistic Advancement of Security and Growth Across Regions), which emphasises capacity-building, institutional cooperation and knowledge exchange as key elements of India's engagement with partner countries. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Luke Rokovada, Chairman of Fiji's Public Service Commission; Suneet Mehta, High Commissioner of India to Fiji; Pita Tagicakirewa, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Civil Service; and RRU Vice-Chancellor Bimal Patel, who joined virtually. Speaking at the event, Rokovada acknowledged India's contribution to Fiji's human resource development and institutional capacity-building, describing it as the country's largest capacity-building partner. He appreciated RRU's efforts to extend specialised training opportunities to Fiji and other Pacific Island countries, and highlighted their importance in improving professional competencies, institutional effectiveness and bilateral cooperation. Mehta said sustained engagement with Pacific Island countries was an important dimension of India's international cooperation. He highlighted RRU's role in advancing India's engagement with the region through specialised education, professional training and institutional capacity-building. Such programmes could help translate diplomatic goodwill into lasting institutional partnerships, knowledge exchange and people-to-people connections, he said. Patel, who is also a Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), stressed the need to bridge the gap between international legal frameworks and their practical implementation by public institutions. My work across international legal diplomacy, scholarship and education has strengthened a simple conviction: international law serves people best when public institutions have the knowledge to put it into practice. As Vice-Chancellor of Rashtriya Raksha University and a Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, I attach particular value to strengthening that knowledge, he said. The first programme, a 10-day course on the fundamentals of international law and security, commenced on November 2 with 60 participants from nine Pacific countries. It will cover the basic principles and contemporary developments in international law, their intersection with evolving security challenges, and emerging regional and global concerns. The course will also focus on applying legal concepts to practical institutional situations. The second programme, a six-day course on stress management for health and psychological well-being, is scheduled from November 16 to 23. It will address stress management, mindfulness, burnout prevention, psychological resilience and peer support. Given Fiji's exposure to climate-related challenges, natural disasters and displacement, the programme will also examine their psychological effects, along with digital stress and the well-being of personnel working in demanding professional environments. The third programme, a five-day course on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, is scheduled from November 24 to 30. It will cover cybersecurity, cybercrime investigation, digital forensics, network security, cyber law and the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Practical demonstrations and exposure to relevant tools and technologies will form part of the training. RRU has also been expanding its international training programmes through its collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme. According to the university, it has trained more than 3,200 law-enforcement officials from 94 partner countries in specialised areas, including forensics, cyber education and policing. In addition, 52 students from 18 countries across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Oceania are currently pursuing its regular two-year master's programmes designed for law-enforcement professionals. Through its engagement with Fiji and other Pacific Island countries, the university is also looking to expand cooperation in international law, maritime security, policing, disaster management, cybersecurity, defence studies and professional education. The initiative is aimed at strengthening institutional preparedness by combining legal understanding, psychological resilience and technological capabilities, while expanding professional and institutional links between India and the Pacific region.

Gujarat: Jaykishan finds new lease on life under Ayushman Bharat scheme

Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 3 (IANS) Jaykishan Kapadia, a resident of Gujarats Mehsana district, was wheelchair-bound not long ago and had lost hope of resuming a normal life until the Ayushman Bharat scheme came to his rescue, rekindled hope and also made the difficult transition possible. Ayushman Bharat, a flagship scheme of the Central government to provide better healthcare facilities to the economically disadvantaged sections, proved to be a lifesaver for the 32-year-old Jaykishan Kapadia. Jaykishan, who lost all hope of revival, is now standing on his own feet. He now aspires to find employment and become a source of support for his mother. The challenges in Jaykishans life began when he developed a kidney ailment at the age of just 17. His mother saved his life by donating one of her kidneys. He underwent a kidney transplant in 2012, and for a while, his health remained stable. However, the long-term use of steroid medications following the transplant led to deterioration of both his hip joints. Gradually, his limbs began to stiffen, and he experienced severe joint pain. His condition became so critical that he could no longer perform daily tasks and became entirely dependent on a wheelchair. Due to financial hardship, continuing his medical treatment became increasingly difficult. At one point, his weight had dropped to just 3035 kilograms. Three years ago, Jaykishans mother got him admitted to the Government Spine Institute in Ahmedabad, where he was treated by the Institute director Dr. Piyush Mittal and his team of specialists. His treatment started under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. A total of four surgeries were performed on him, including hip replacement procedures. Alongside this, a process was initiated to help him get back on his feet through physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Dr. Piyush Mittal, Director of the Government Spine Institute, told IANS that when Jaikishan first arrived at the institute, his condition was critical. He was dependent on a wheelchair and unable to even get out of bed. He weighed only around 30 kilograms. His bones had become significantly weak, and both his hip joints were affected. Sharing the long course of treatment, he said, We started his treatment involving physiotherapy and necessary medication. Focus was also placed on strengthening his mental well-being. Subsequently, both his hips were operated on, one by one. Our goal was to enable him to stand on his own feet again and lead an independent life. Today, Jaykishan is able to stand and move on his own. Reflecting on the new lease on life he received under the Ayushman scheme, Jaykishan said, My mother brought me to the hospital in a wheelchair. At that time, I couldn't even stand up properly. The doctors here performed surgery on mefirst on one leg, and then on the other. I feel much better now. There was a time when I never thought I would be able to walk again, but seeing the improvement in my condition now feels wonderful. He said that he was immensely grateful to the government for such a public welfare scheme.

Rajasthan High Court declares tax collection on Out-of-State private vehicles illegal

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court has declared the Transport Department's action of collecting road tax from private cars and jeeps registered in other states, allegedly on the grounds that they had been operated in Rajasthan for more than 30 days, illegal, in the absence of a specific statutory notification. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal and Justice Sameer Jain ruled that the Transport Department cannot impose or collect taxes on non-transport vehicles registered in other states without a valid notification issued under the relevant provisions of the law. While disposing of petitions filed by Harpi Core Network India Private Limited and others, the court directed the department to refund the taxes collected from the petitioners within 30 days and immediately release the seized vehicles. Several vehicle owners had approached the Rajasthan High Court challenging the Transport Department's action against their private vehicles, which were registered in states including Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The petitioners submitted that lifetime road tax had already been paid in their respective states at the time of registration. However, during routine inspections, flying squads of the Rajasthan Transport Department intercepted several such vehicles and initiated enforcement proceedings. The Rajasthan Transport Department maintained that these vehicles had been operating in Rajasthan for more than 30 days without payment of the prescribed state road tax. It argued that under Rule 28 of the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Rules, vehicles remaining in the state beyond 30 days were liable to pay tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. Challenging the department's action, the petitioners argued that their vehicles were already registered in other states and that the applicable lifetime tax had been paid there. They contended that there was no legal basis for demanding a lump-sum tax in Rajasthan merely because the vehicles had been used in the state for more than 30 days. The petitioners also invoked Article 265 of the Constitution, which provides that no tax can be levied or collected except by authority of law. They argued that the Transport Department could not impose a tax merely by relying on administrative interpretations or notifications that did not specifically authorise such a levy. The Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma-led state government defended the department's action, arguing that private vehicles registered outside Rajasthan were being used in the state for periods exceeding 30 days and were, therefore, liable for taxation under the applicable rules. The government also cited a notification issued on July 10, 2024, which prescribed rates for one-time taxation of non-transport vehicles. It argued that the notification covered vehicles already registered in other states as well. Accordingly, the government maintained that the tax demands and seizure of vehicles were legally justified. After hearing both sides, the High Court observed that the July 10, 2024, notification prescribed tax rates for passenger and goods vehicles. However, there was no separate notification under the relevant statutory provision specifically authorising the levy of one-time tax on private non-transport cars registered in other states. The Bench held that merely mentioning vehicles registered in other states in a notification issued under a different provision does not fulfil the statutory requirement for imposing such a tax. The court clarified that when the law requires a specific notification for levying a particular tax, the government cannot collect it by relying on a notification issued under another provision. Consequently, the court held that the one-time tax demand against private cars registered in other states could not be sustained on the basis of the existing notification. The court directed the Transport Department to release the seized vehicles immediately and refund the tax collected from the petitioners within 30 days.

IPL 2027: Punjab Kings Hold The Edge In Race To Seal Hardik Pandya Trade Deal

Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings (PBKS) have edged ahead of others in the race to secure the services of Hardik Pandya via a trade deal with Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the November 17 retention deadline for the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. IANS understands that apart from PBKS, who have been very aggressive in vying for Pandya, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have also been in the running to acquire the premier seam-bowling all-rounder. Yes, this is true that as of now, Punjab Kings have their noses ahead to get Pandya. If all falls in place, as per the verbal discussions between the top management of the two teams, the formal paperwork to complete Pandyas trade can start soon and then the approval from the IPL officials will be sought, a source tracking the development told IANS on Tuesday. Under the proposed swap, IANS understands that if Pandya goes to PBKS, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh and wicketkeeper-batter Vishnu Vinod are likely to head to MI. Arshdeep is currently in New Zealand, where he is part of Indias fast-bowling attack in the five-match ODI series that starts in Auckland on Wednesday. Vinod, meanwhile, was part of the MI set-up in IPL 2023 and played four games for them. PBKSs rivals in the race to get Pandyas services have appeared to fall behind. KKR, who need a new captain following Ajinkya Rahanes retirement, did reach an advanced stage in talks with MI over Pandyas trade. But three-time winners KKR were not willing to part with their core players, and the talks did not result in a deal. RR, the inaugural edition winners, have also been keen to get Pandya by offering to send Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Bishnoi to MI in exchange, but there has not been much progress. LSGs attempts to get Pandya did not make much headway. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were also said to have shown early interest, but it did not develop further. If the MI-PBKS trade goes through, the Shreyas Iyer-led side will gain an all-rounder in Pandya who is capable of winning games with both bat and ball. MI, on their part, would get a marquee Indian left-arm fast bowler who can bowl in all phases, as well as add another Indian wicketkeeping option. If somehow the MI-PBKS trade talks dont materialise, Pandya will not mind playing another year at MI, possibly under Rohit Sharmas captaincy, before the mega auction happens next year, another source tracking the deal told IANS. It is also understood that if the Pandya deal is done, PBKS are looking to add left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan in exchange for Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, whose role could shrink with his addition to the set-up. Pandya, a member of India winning 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups, led Gujarat Titans (GT) to the IPL title in 2022 during a successful two-season stint before returning to MI in an all-cash trade ahead of IPL 2024. His three seasons as MI captain brought little success. MI, the five-time champions, finished fourth in 2025, but were at the bottom of the points table in 2024 and ended at ninth spot in 2026. It is also understood that if the Pandya deal is done, PBKS are looking to add left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan in exchange for Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, whose role could shrink with his addition to the set-up.

One Indian dead, 13 rescued after vessel hit by unidentified object off Oman coast: Shipping Minister

New Delhi , Nov 3 : One Indian seafarer died while 13 others were rescued after an Indian-flagged vessel carrying 14 Indian crew members was struck by an unidentified aerial object near the coast of Oman, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said on Tuesday. In a post on X, Sonowal said the vessel, MSV AL JUSUFI, was navigating near the Omani coast when it was hit by the unidentified object on Monday. The 13 crew members safely evacuated and were rescued by the Omani Coast Guard. The deceased seafarer was identified as Gandhar Nahim Ajij from Gujarat. On Nov 2, the Indian MSV AL JUSUFI, carrying 14 Indian seafarers, was struck by an unidentified aerial object while navigating near the coast of Oman. While 13 crew members safely evacuated and were rescued by the Omani Coast Guard, I am deeply saddened to report that one of our seafarers, Gandhar Nahim Ajij from Gujarat, tragically succumbed to his injuries, Sonowal said. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this hour of immense grief. The Ministry and Indian Embassy in Oman are in contact with local authorities to ensure immediate assistance for the 13 survivors and facilitate the swift repatriation of both the surviving crew and mortal remains of our deceased seafarer, he added. The incident comes amid repeated reports of attacks involving commercial vessels and seafarers in the Persian Gulf and wider West Asian region amid the conflict in the region. On October 30, a Marshall Islands-flagged LNG carrier, M/T Al Mayeda, carrying six Indian seafarers, was struck by a projectile in the Persian Gulf. In a post on X on Saturday, Sonowal said all six Indian nationals, along with the vessel's entire 25-member crew, were safe. Earlier, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had highlighted concerns over repeated attacks on civilian shipping and seafarers during the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, emphasising the need to protect freedom of navigation. In a message shared on X, Jaishankar said countries in the Global South were disproportionately bearing the consequences of hostilities in the Middle East, with attacks on civilian shipping threatening the availability and cost of essential commodities. The Global South is disproportionately bearing the consequences of attacks on civilian shipping and seafarers, jeopardising the availability and cost of fuel, food and fertilisers, Jaishankar stated. The latest incident has once again brought attention to the safety of Indian seafarers operating in waters affected by the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Tusshar Kapoor allegedly receives Rs 5 cr extortion threat in Lawrence Bishnoi gang's name

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 3 (IANS) Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor has allegedly received an extortion threat demanding Rs 5 crore from someone claiming to be Harry Boxer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. After the threat, the actor, son of Jeetendra, alerted the Mumbai Police, whose preliminary investigation suggests the call may be fake, as the voice recording did not match official audio samples of Harry Boxer. The Crime Branch's technical team thoroughly examined the audio recording of the call received by Tusshar Kapoor. The police compared the voice in the threatening call with official audio samples of Harry Boxer available in their database. According to senior Mumbai Police officials, the samples for the audio did not match, leading investigators to suspect during the preliminary probe that the call could be fake. Police suspect that some miscreant may have used the Bishnoi gang's name merely to create fear. The police are now trying to trace the person who sent the audio recording. Several Bollywood personalities, including Salman Khan, Rohit Shetty, Ranveer Singh and Tiger Shroff, have reportedly faced threats and attacks allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. On the work front, Tusshar was last seen in Welcome to the Jungle directed by Ahmed Khan, written by Neeraj Vora. The film stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Farida Jalal, Lara Dutta, Shreyas Talpade, Aftab Shivdasani, Yashpal Sharma, and Akshara Singh. He will next be seen in Golmaal 5, directed by Rohit Shetty. The first installment of the Golmaal film series, which hit the screens in 2006, stars Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad and Sharman along with Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal. It was reportedly based on Harsh Shivsharan's Marathi play Ghar Ghar, which also inspired Vora's Gujarati play Aflatoon, in turn one of the inspirations for the film. The film was followed by 4 sequels such as Golmaal Returns, which released in 2008, 2010s Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again, which hit the silver screen in 2017. All the films starred Ajay, Arshad, Tusshar, Sanjay Mishra, Vrajesh Hirjee and Mukesh Tiwari, with Shreyas Talpade appearing in three, Kunal Khemu and Johnny Lever in two.
