NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to Haryana-based SRS group chairman Anil Jindal accused of committing fraud to obtain credit facilities to the tune of ₹770 crore.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna granted bail, pointing out that Jindal had been in custody for over six years and the trial in the case probed by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) was yet to begin.
Directing his release, the bench, also comprising justice PV Sanjay Kumar said, “Though the offence is grave, the fact that the accused has been in prison for so many years without trial cannot be overlooked.”
Imposing conditions to ensure there was no tampering of evidence, the court directed Jindal to provide a list of his bank accounts and immovable properties to the trial court and prohibited him from opening any new bank account or alienating existing property without permission of the court concerned.
In addition, he was asked to surrender his passport to the trial court and share his contact details with SFIO to keep track of his whereabouts.
Senior advocate Maninder Singh who appeared for Jindal along with advocate Vivek Jain argued that Jindal had been in prison since his arrest in April 2018, and the investigation was still pending.
A special court in Gurugram constituted under the Companies Act, granted bail to Jindal in December 2023 but the Punjab and Haryana high court set it aside on April 30 this year.
The allegation against Jindal is that he obtained loan facilities for the group by furnishing false documents. The companies under the group were allegedly incorporated to adjust the cash sales in the wholesale jewellery and real estate business to show an increased net worth of the group, based on which he obtained credit facilities that were allegedly siphoned off.
SFIO registered a case of cheating and criminal conspiracy against Jindal and other accused in 2018.
The trial court, which granted him bail last year, had observed that the grounds of arrest were not furnished to Jindal which vitiated his arrest as per the Supreme Court’s order in Pankaj Bansal case in October 2023. This mandate of supplying grounds of arrest was contained in section 212(8) of the Companies Act.
In his petition before the top court, Jindal said that the HC overlooked the fact that section 212(8) of the Companies Act, 2013 was identical to the provision of section 19 of the PMLA, 2002 dealing with the furnishing of grounds of arrest and breach of this provision violated his constitutionally safeguarded right.
NEW DELHI: IndiGo, India’s largest airline, has refuted the findings of a survey by AirHelp, an EU-based claim processing agency, which ranked it among the world’s worst airlines based on parameters such as punctuality, service quality, and compensation handling. The survey placed IndiGo at the 103rd position out of 109 airlines, with a total score of 4.80. In a statement on Wednesday, IndiGo questioned the credibility of the survey, citing the absence of details about the sample size from India and the methodology or compensation guidelines used. The airline emphasized its consistent performance in punctuality and a low customer complaint ratio, especially for an airline of its operational scale. “As India’s most preferred airline, IndiGo refutes the findings of this survey and reiterates its promise of on-time, affordable, courteous, and hassle-free travel experiences for its customers,” the statement read. IndiGo highlighted its commitment to delivering reliable services, emphasizing that it frequently scores high on punctuality metrics. The airline expressed concerns about the survey’s failure to align with global aviation industry standards, further questioning its relevance to Indian air travel dynamics. The AirHelp survey evaluated major global airlines, rating them on punctuality, service quality, and their approach to compensation claims, but has faced criticism for its lack of transparency in methodology.
Indian Railways: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is focusing on the improvement of services of the general coach passengers and, as part of the process, 1000 more general coaches will be added to the railway network by the end of this month, Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw told Lok Sabha on Wednesday. He said the railways is also planning to build 10,000 additional general compartment coaches in the coming years.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s focus is to improve the services of the general class coaches. As part of the exercise, 1000 more general coaches will be added by the railways by the end of December. Our focus is more on general coaches rather than AC second or AC 3rd class coaches,” he said during the Question Hour.
The minister said the Indian Railways is rebuilding 1,300 stations as part of a redevelopment project, which is considered to be the largest in the world, under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. He said that under the scheme, many stations will be rebuilt at a cost of Rs 700 – 800 crore while some others will be rebuilt at a cost of Rs 100-200 crore.
When the project is completed, it will fulfill the expectations of the people as it aims to enhance and modernise railway stations throughout the Indian Railways network.
Replying to two other questions, Vaishnaw told MPs belonging to Kerala and Tamil Nadu to coordinate with the respective state government in helping the railways to acquire land for completing planned projects.

Donald Trump’s nominee for defence secretary says “the Left” is trying to smear him with “fake” stories – after reports suggested the US president-elect may replace him.
Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the BBC’s partner CBS News reported, after Hegseth’s nomination came under intense scrutiny.
Since Trump nominated the former Fox News host, questions about Hegseth’s qualifications have been raised – and a historical sexual assault allegation has surfaced.
Hegseth has denied any wrongdoing, and was never arrested or charged.
His nomination is the subject of growing scrutiny by members of his own party – including US senators who have the power to confirm or deny his appointment when are asked to vote on it.
“I think some of these articles are very disturbing,” Senator Lindsey Graham told CBS on Tuesday. “He obviously has a chance to defend himself here, but some of this stuff is going to be difficult.”
DeSantis, who was elected Florida governor in 2018, did not reply to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Trump declined to say whether DeSantis was under consideration for the post.
DeSantis ran against Trump in the Republican primary, and before dropping out, he was considered by some to be “Trump 2.0” – a Republican who could deliver Trump’s populist agenda without baggage.
The latest speculation – first reported by the Wall Street Journal – comes as Hegseth meets members of Congress this week to discuss the job and drum up support.
A graduate of Princeton and Harvard universities, Hegseth was an infantry platoon leader in Guantanamo Bay and Iraq, and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.
In nominating Hegseth, who is also a former Fox News TV host, Trump highlighted the former soldier’s education, and his military experience in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – our military will be great again, and America will never back down,” Trump wrote.
But even as a veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 44-year-old does not have the extensive experience typical for the cabinet position. He also would be the second-youngest person to serve in the office.
In addition, since his nomination, a police report detailing accusations of an alleged sexual assault in 2017 has surfaced.
The woman quoted in the complaint said that Hegseth, then a Fox host, took her phone and blocked the door to a hotel room while at a Republican conference in California.
Hegseth denies any wrongdoing, saying the encounter was consensual.
Some of Hegseth’s past comments about how he might change the defence department have also raised eyebrows.
On a recent podcast, Hegseth said the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff – the top military leader in the US – should be fired, along with any military leader “involved in any of the DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] woke [expletive]”.
He also has argued that women should not serve in combat roles because this practice had not made the military “more effective” or “more lethal”.
There is increasing scepticism about Hegseth’s chances of getting enough votes to be confirmed by the Senate, CBS reports.
At least four Republican senators would be likely to vote against him if they voted today, two sources told the news outlet.
Republicans are expected to have a 53-seat majority in the Senate, which must confirm cabinet-level positions in Trump’s new team. Losing four Republican votes would be enough to sink Hegseth’s nomination, provided Democrats and independents also vote against him.
Some Washington lawmakers have questioned Hegseth’s credentials for overseeing the complex bureaucracy in the job for which he has been lined up.
“I confess I didn’t know who he was until 20 minutes ago,” said Representative Adam Smith, top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. “And he certainly doesn’t seem to have any background whatsoever in (Department of Defence) policy.”
John Bolton, who served as national security adviser during Trump’s first presidency, told the BBC that the post of defence secretary should never be a “loyalty appointment”.
“The question is: will he be a yes man to Donald Trump, or will he behave professionally and with courage the way he did when he was in uniform?” Bolton asked.
Hegseth is not Trump’s first controversial appointment before he returns to the White House.
Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who Trump nominated for US attorney general, also faced scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct against him – which he denied – that were the subject of a congressional report.
Gaetz eventually withdrew his nomination in late November, saying that the controversy against him “was unfairly becoming a distraction” from the work of the incoming Trump administration.

Bhutan is keen to present itself as a forward-looking country that embraces modernity, while also maintaining a sense of pride in its unique cultural traditions, Bhutan held at the Dungkar Dzong in Pangbisa, Paro in early October. That was evident at the Innovation Forum.

The three-day event that featured everyone on panels ranging from economists, philosophers, architects, designers, urban planners and entrepreneurs to political leaders, teachers, scientists, filmmakers, writers and monks, was meant to share best practices in building better systems. There was an opportunity to move forward. Prosperity without compromising sustainability.
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay’s welcome speech indicated that the purpose of the forum is “a platform for dialogue and cooperation, aiming at a sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future”. He assured attendees that Bhutan’s aspirations for economic growth by venturing into areas such as blockchain technology and artificial intelligence will remain in line with its mandate to secure gross national happiness based on prioritizing well-being, cultural values and environmental sustainability .

The event was also a showcase for the Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), a special administrative region being established in Bhutan to serve as an economic hub for South Asia. Led by the country’s ruler King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the project is located on the Assam border and is of strategic importance to India.
One of the most interesting presentations of the event was created by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, who gave attendees a glimpse of what the GMC would look and feel like. He talked about the use of renewable energy, local building materials and indigenous design elements to ensure that development takes place in keeping with Bhutan’s emphasis on caring for the earth.
The Constitution of Bhutan states that 60 percent of the land must be kept under forest cover at all times, enabling the country to maintain its carbon negative status. Ingalls revealed that in addition to “a family of public spaces, including parks, promenades, and bridges, designed to improve community life,” the GMC will include a mindfulness trail for hiking and pilgrimage, an artificial intelligence data center running on hydropower. There will also be wildlife corridors for animals. to roam freely, a Vajrayana Buddhist center that will be “a contemporary reinterpretation of a stupa”, and health care infrastructure that offers the best of both Eastern and Western medicine.
Bhutan recognizes 13 traditional arts and crafts that are practiced to relieve the suffering of fellow sentient beings. A fascinating panel on the role of art and design in creating more conscious urban environments included British sculptor Antony Gormley, who spoke about creating inclusive spaces for contemplation in the city: “How do we allow art to become owned by everyone ? How can we allow art to be an expression of collective values, which is, in many ways, the exact opposite of a kind of Western, modern idea of the artist, who is actually the prime example of the freedom of the individual? to express themselves?”
American urban planner Jonathan Rose tackled a serious but important subject – his design of a crematorium to acknowledge death and grief in the city, creating a space for private and public reflection. American sculptor, architect and designer Maya Lin, who uses public art to draw attention to biodiversity loss, said, “We live in a world where many of us lose sight of the amazing beauty of the natural world. Don’t get the opportunity to be surrounded by. ,
This sentiment was echoed by Arun Kapoor, who started his career at The Doon School in Dehradun, served as the founding headmaster of Vasant Valley School in Delhi, and is now director at the Druk Gyalpo Institute in Bhutan and on the board of directors of GMC . , He said, “Being alive and sensitive to nature and other human beings is deeply rooted in Buddhism, and it is a remedy against the loneliness and isolation that people feel in cities.” The proposed education system of GMC will promote holistic development in five inter-related areas of development namely brain, emotional, physical, social and spiritual.
Gratitude for nature is also an important component of the work Deki Choden, founding principal of ELC High School in Thimphu, does with students. Recognized as a leader in the field of mindfulness in education, she has made Mindful Walking, Wellbeing Sessions, Emotional Check-ins and Silent Circles a part of the school curriculum. He believes that schools should focus on nurturing rather than measuring children so that they can associate happiness with satisfaction rather than the endless pursuit of money, success and achievement. “We tell (children) that all feelings are welcome but not all behaviors are welcome. We teach them how to create space between the stimulus and their response. When that space becomes broader, it increases their ability to respond thoughtfully and intelligently rather than just being reactive,” she said.
The venue featured pop-up cafes where attendees could refresh themselves with snacks and beverages and meet new people. There were open areas to go on solitary walks and enjoy the company of nature – vast open sky, lush green trees, breathtaking views of distant hills and yaks adorned with colorful paraphernalia. One can watch monks drawing mandalas, admire paintings in an art gallery, enjoy traditional songs and dances, or visit cultural exhibitions featuring thangka painting, wood carving, cloth weaving and incense making.

“We wanted to highlight different aspects of our culture and traditions, especially with participants who are visiting Bhutan for the first time,” said Tshering Uden Penjor, head of the Museum Division under the Department of Culture and Dzongkha Development in Bhutan’s Ministry of Home Affairs. He pointed out that arts and crafts are also a major source of income in the Himalayan nation. Keeping this in mind, the Department of Culture has already started building a workforce comprising carpenters, masons, painters, stonemasons and artists to turn the vision of GMC into reality. “The GMC will reflect Bhutanese values and our rich architectural heritage. There will be no multi-storey buildings made of steel and glass.
GMC needs to be made attractive not only to foreign investors and tourists but also to the youth of Bhutan who are currently traveling to Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, India, the United States and other countries to pursue education and employment opportunities. Are going in large numbers. “The Western world might want us to become Shangri-La or a museum but that is not the future we want. Fulfilling the aspirations of the younger generation is important for their well-being,” he said.

Those concerned about the extinction of centuries-old knowledge and traditional skills will find comfort in the words of Chimi Pelmo, managing partner of Nado Poizokhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest incense sticks manufacturers. Incense is used for purification, cleansing, and as an offering in Bhutanese temples and homes. “We make incense using herbs and spices from the Himalayas, juniper and cypress wood. These remedies are several hundred years old. My father learned these from his guru,” she says. Many of these ingredients, including cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and camphor, not only have a unique fragrance but also have medicinal properties. Most of the work of pounding, dyeing, rolling and straightening is still done by hand. “But we use a dosa machine to mix the ingredients,” Pelmo says, laughing.
Another entrepreneur who made a mark was Chimi Laki Dolma, whose fashion brand, Dakini by Jane, uses natural dyes made from onion peels, madder, stick lakh and other locally available ingredients. “Handmade things may not be perfect but this is the best thing about them. They have that human touch that is missing in modern life,” he said. Since the weavers she works with are religious, she encourages them to pray while they weave so that “all the good energy goes into the fabric and whoever wears it can feel those blessings”. The fact that there was room for such heartfelt conversations amongst royalty, Nobel laureates and CEOs is what made the Bhutan Innovation Forum memorable. Clearly, Bhutan has a lot to teach the world about how to thoughtfully strike a balance between tradition and modernity.
