Bhushan Power & Steel
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court had struck down JSW Steel's buyout of Bhushan Power & Steel, terming its resolution plan for the company 'illegal'.
In response, JSW Steel filed a review petition before the Supreme Court last month. The committee of creditors and resolution professional filed separate review petitions.
'We, along with our legal advisors, have analysed the matter and are of the view that we have strong grounds to pursue the review petition,' the company said in a statement.

RPAs for 3 services to mountain radars: DAC clears procurements worth Rs 67,000 cr
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday approved a range of military procurement proposals for the armed forces worth nearly Rs 67,000 crore. These include the procurement of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs) for the three services, a compact autonomous surface craft for the Navy, maintenance support for the C-17 and C-130J fleets of the Indian Air Force (IAF), and a comprehensive annual maintenance contract for the S-400 long range air defence missile system. The DAC's approval for the maintenance of both American and Russian platforms with the IAF can be considered a display of strategic autonomy by India, especially at a time when the US President Donald Trump has been criticising India over its crude oil imports from Russia, a move New Delhi termed 'unjustified and unreasonable targeting' of the country. The IAF has a fleet of 12 C-130J-30 Super Hercules Aircraft, procured from the US in 2010-11, followed by additional orders in the subsequent years. The IAF operates a fleet of 11 C-17 Globemaster III aircraft procured between 2013 and 2019. Both were procured by India from the US under separate Foreign Military Sale (FMS) agreements. India had signed the S-400 deal with Russia in 2018, a year after the US passed the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). The long range surface to air missile system played a critical role in defending Indian skies during Operation Sindoor between May 7 and 10. These procurements are particularly significant in the light of Operation Sindoor, which was launched by India on May 7 after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 people dead, and appear to be drawn from lessons learnt from it. According to a statement issued by the Defence Ministry, the DAC has granted an Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for the procurement of Thermal Imager-based Driver Night Sights for the Battle Mechanised Platforms with the Army, which will enhance the night driving capability of BMPs and provide higher mobility and operational advantage to the mechanised infantry. The DAC is the primary body responsible for approving major capital acquisitions in defence. The first step in the defence procurement process is the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN). However, obtaining an AoN does not always lead to a final order. The DAC also approved the procurement of the compact autonomous surface craft, the BrahMos fire control system and launchers, and the upgrade of the BARAK-1 point defence missile system for the Navy. 'The procurement of the compact autonomous surface craft will enable the Indian Navy to detect, classify and neutralise threats during anti-submarine warfare missions,' the statement said. For the Indian Air Force, an AoN was granted for the procurement of mountain radars and the upgrade of the SAKSHAM/SPYDER weapon system, which will enhance air surveillance capabilities along and across borders in mountainous regions. The upgrade of the SAKSHAM/SPYDER system for integration with the Integrated Air Command and Control System will strengthen India's air defence capabilities. Additionally, the procurement of MALE RPAs for three services will support round-the-clock surveillance and combat readiness, as these aircraft can carry multiple payloads and weapons while operating at longer ranges for extended missions.

Gujarat HC grants bail to Bliss Consultants owner in investment cheating case
The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday granted bail to the owner of stockbroking firm Bliss Consultants, Ashesh Shailesh Mehta, in an alleged case of cheating in Dhanera police station of Banaskantha in connection with a multi-crore investment case. The FIR in the said case was lodged in August 2023 although Mehta, as of now, is lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail in the case of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Maharashtra Police. His counsel informed the court that his assets worth Rs 171 crore have been attached by special Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) court. Considering the submissions of Mehta's counsel — Advocate Deshal Modi — Justice MR Mengdey of the Gujarat High Court granted bail to Mehta on Tuesday. The oral order of the court said, 'From the record it appears that the investigation is over and chargesheet has been filed. The present applicant has been arrested in connection with the present offence on March 13, 2024 and since then he is in custody… On the basis of those promises, the (complainant) had invested the amount of Rs 1,03,00,000/- in the said scheme. Similarly, the other victims had also invested their money. The total amount involved in the present offence is around Rs 171 crore. The record indicates that all the assets of the present applicant have been seized, which comes to around Rs 171 crore. Considering the same, the application deserves consideration.' Advocate Modi told The Indian Express, 'Mehta and his wife Shivangi were victims of cheating committed by a shell company, which is an accounting firm, that they were associated with… In June 2023, while they were called by the Madhya Pradesh police for a statement in an NDPS (Narcotics Drugs & Psychotropic Substances) case against a third party, who they do not know, there was a false arbitration that came about in Khed (a town in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri), involving the shell company, in which Rs 160 crore of their money was freezed in a private bank account. As the panic spread about the NDPS case, investors sought their money back and the couple returned Rs 60 crore back to investors but before they could return the rest of the sum of Rs 110 crore, their bank account had been freezed.' Modi added that a series of FIRs followed against the couple in Maharashtra as well as three FIRs in Gujarat — in Ranip and Chandkheda in Ahmedabad and in Dhanera in Banaskantha. Modi said, 'The applicant (Mehta) has been granted bail in the Ranip and Chandkheda cases even though Dhanera was the first FIR in Gujarat. Now, he has been granted bail in all three cases but will remain lodged at Arthur Road jail due to the EOW case… We informed the court that the MPID court has attached assets worth Rs 171 crore and the Deputy Collector of Kurla (in Mumbai) has been appointed to oversee the process by which they can return the money to their investors.' The Dhanera case was lodged by an investor of Bliss Consultants against a sum of Rs 1.3 crore, alleging it belonged to him and his relatives. As the prosecution's case, Bliss Consultants had promised a 70% profit return on investments with about 4% interest to be earned per month. The investors used a mobile application called DIFM (Do It For Me). Mehta's wife Shivangi has been granted bail in the case earlier.

SC grants Rs 4cr Mumbai flat as alimony, rejects Rs 12cr & BMW demand
NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Tuesday used its exclusive powers under Article 142 to dissolve a marriage by asking the man to gift his wife a flat worth Rs 4 crore in a posh Mumbai area while rejecting her demand for additional Rs 12 crore and a BMW car. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A bench of CJI B R Gavai, and Justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria said the acrimonious second marriage of both parties had broken down irreparably, requiring dissolution of the eight-year-old matrimonial alliance which was an attempt by both the man and woman to give married life a second chance. However, it said the permanent alimony received by the woman from the annulment of her first marriage cannot be the basis for determining the size of alimony in the dissolution of the second marriage. Accepting the arguments of advocates Madhavi Divan and Prabhjit Jauhar and taking into consideration the level of her education - an engineer with a master's in management - the bench said the gift of a flat in Mumbai by her husband would be sufficient alimony, especially as he is unemployed at present. It ordered the man to complete the gift deed for her before Aug 30 and pay apartment dues of Rs 26 lakh to Kalpataru Society on Dr SS Road, Mumbai, by Sept 1. Brushing aside her demand for Rs 12 crore and a BMW, based on the man's profile on 'LinkedIn', the bench said, "We refuse to place any reliance on the 'LinkedIn' profile. We also reckon the fact that the respondent-wife was gainfully employed and has the educational qualifications as also the potential, by way of her experience in the field of information technology, to maintain herself. The gift of the encumbrance free apartment would suffice insofar as the compensation for separation".
