Couple from Mysuru held in fake Nandini ghee racket
BENGALURU: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested a couple from Mysuru in connection with the racket in selling adulterated ghee under Nandini brand . Earlier, the CCB arrested four people, including a distributor of KMF products. The couple reportedly ran a hi-tech illegal manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadus Tiruppur. CCB sleuths have frozen Rs 60 lakh in the bank accounts of the couple, suspecting that it could be proceeds from the crime. Investigations revealed that the accused, Shivakumar and his wife Ramya, were wanted in a case of manufacturing fake products in Mysuru. They led a large network involved in the production of adulterated ghee and selling it. In a joint operation, the CCB and KMFs vigilance wing arrested Mahendra, distributor of KMF products, his son Deepak, Muniraju, who supervised transportation of adulterated ghee from Tamil Nadu, and driver Abhi Arasu on November 14. Around 8,136 litres of adulterated ghee worth Rs 1.26 crore, four vehicles, and a large quantity of coconut and palm oil were seized. The accused produced three litres of adulterated ghee using one litre of original ghee. The accused packed adulterated ghee in sachets and plastic bottles having Nandini logo and supplied it to the Bengaluru-based distributor of KMF products. The accused also distributed adulterated ghee to wholesale and retail shops and Nandini outlets across the city. The joint team raided godowns and shops and seized goods vehicles of Krishna Enterprises at Nanjamba Agrahara, Chamarajpet, owned by one of the accused and his family members.

Could defer date of post-SIR draft roll in TN, WB: SC
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would not hesitate to extend the deadline for the publication of the draft electoral rolls in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu if the petitioners make a strong case, while the Election Commission of India (ECI) claimed that some political parties were trying to create a scare about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi made the oral observation while hearing petitions challenging the SIR exercise in the two states. The remark about extending the deadline for publication of the draft rolls came after the parties appearing in the SIR for West Bengal raised concerns about the court fixing the next date of hearing to December 9, which they claimed was the date for publication of the draft roll as per the SIR schedule. So what? If you make out a case, then we can direct them to extend the date. Can that date (publication of draft roll) be a ground for the court to say we dont have any power now? Court can always say, the CJI said. For its part, the ECI told the court that some political parties are creating a scare about the SIR being undertaken Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Kerala. Political parties are creating unnecessary scare, the poll panel said. Advocate Prashant Bhushan said the SIR was being conducted in a great hurry. The bench asked the ECI to file its counter-affidavit to the petitions relating to Tamil Nadu and West Bengal by December 4 and December 9, respectively. The bench also posted the pleas seeking deferment of the Kerala SIR to December 2, while asking the ECI and State Election Commission to file their responses by December 1. SIR in Tamil Nadu has been challenged by DMK, CPI(M), and actor Vijays TVK. The AlADMK, on the other hand, has filed an application supporting the SIR. During the hearing, the bench observed that the EC has inherent power to determine correctness of entry in Form 6. The hearing will continue on Thursday. Reason to challenge not good enough That the SIR was never conducted before is not a ground to challenge the Election Commissions decision to carry out this exercise in several states, the SC said
