Piyush Jain case: Court dismisses accused application, hearing on July 4
1 2 Kanpur: Special chief judicial magistrate Kanpur Nagar Kumud Lata Tripathi on Friday dismissed the application of accused Piyush Jain and Sunil A Hirani in the much-publicised case in which the GST department had recovered approximately Rs 195 crore cash and gold bars weighing around 22 kgs. The DGGI Ahmedabad had raided perfume trader Piyush Jain's houses situated at Anandpuri Kanpur and Kannauj on December 21, 2021. The department had seized Rs 196 crore in cash and 23 kg gold from his possession. Piyush was ultimately arrested on December 27, 2021. He was bailed out after about eight months. The prosecution had made thirteen other persons accused apart from Piyush. All are currently on bail. Both accused had previously applied for the case diary and other documents as per provisions of the Cr PC which was strongly opposed by the prosecution. According to Ambrish Tandon, special prosecutor for DGGI Ahmedabad, the accused applicants pressed their demand on last date while he submitted that CD/DVD containing 479 to 11,455 pages of the charge sheet had already been provided to the counsel of Sunil A Hirani and the same had also been provided to Piyush Jain on October 20, 2023. Both had acknowledged receipt on the order sheet of the case file present in the court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hamburg: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo He stated that since copies of the documents had already been furnished by the court, it appears that this application had been filed only to delay proceedings. Therefore, the court should dismiss the application of Hirani and Piyush Jain. The court, which had reserved its order on the previous date, delivered the verdict and dismissed the accused applicants' plea. The magistrate in her order observed that since all documents had already been delivered by the prosecution to the accused, there was no reason to deliver them again. The application was viewed as a tactic to delay the trial and thus was dismissed. The next date was fixed as July 4 for hearing. Tandon informed that the prosecution would now present its evidence.

Lawyer bail plea rejected in 2.6cr cheating case
Mumbai: Observing that if this court exercises discretion in favour of applicant it will give a wrong message to society, a sessions court on Monday rejected the bail plea of advocate Vinaykumar Khatu, who is accused of defrauding a Delhi-based 74-year-old woman, a client, of Rs 2.57 crore by allegedly presenting her with forged orders purportedly issued by Bombay high court. "This court cannot ignore the antecedent of applicant. Admittedly, two offences were registered against applicant for misrepresenting himself as an IAS officer. If this court exercises discretion in favour of applicant, it will give a wrong message to society. The seriousness of allegations and antecedent of applicant prevent me from exercising discretion in favour of applicant," sessions judge VG Raghuwanshi said. The judge also said that if one decides to rely on WhatsApp chat then he cannot ignore that accused had stated about stay granted by honourable high court in his chat with the accountant and it is also clear that huge amounts were transferred to the accounts of his friends, associates and him after the date of fabricated orders. It was also held that offences relating to criminal breach of trust and forgery of valuable security were added against accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nürtingen: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo "A judgment of civil court can be considered a valuable security…Court judgments often create or modify legal right and liabilities. Thus, the judgments fit within definition of valuable security," the judge said. The accused was a lawyer of the woman, Urmila Talyarkhan, who was involved in a property dispute relating to a land in Alibaug. After a lower court ruled against her, Talyarkhan appealed the decision to the district court. Her advocate failed to appear for the hearing, leading to the dismissal of the appeal on Mar 13, 2018. Residing in Delhi at the time, she remained unaware of this dismissal until 2022, as her advocate did not inform her. It was alleged that through a business acquaintance, Talyarkhan was introduced to Khatu. She retained Khatu for six matters, including the land dispute appeal, and a suit against her husband. Khatu allegedly charged an exorbitant fee of Rs 10 lakh per case. She allegedly transferred Rs 2 crore from her friend's account to those associated with the accused. Following Khatu's advice, she filed a second appeal in Bombay high court, with applications for condonation of a four-year delay and a stay order. Denying the allegations, the accused said that he was arrested on Oct 19, 2024. "Nothing needs to be seized from him. There is no possibility of tampering evidence," the lawyer submitted.
