CPI(M) activists convicted in Sadanandan attack case surrender before Thalassery Court
The surrender came after the Supreme Court upheld the trial court verdict sentencing them to seven years in prison. The accused surrendered nearly three decades after the attack.
The incident has sparked controversy after K.K. Shailaja, MLA, attended a farewell event reportedly organised for the convicts at the CPI(M) Mattanur Pazhassi South Local Committee office before their surrender.
Mr. Sadanandan was attacked on the night of January 25, 1994, in what became one of the first cases booked under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) in Kerala.

HC frees Margadarsi from criminal liability in 18-yr-old case
Hyderabad: In a major relief to the successors of the Margadarsi group, founded by the late media baron Ch Ramoji Rao, Telangana high court on Monday quashed the criminal cases filed against Margadarsi Financiers by the former Andhra Pradesh govt in 2008. A division bench comprising Justice P Sam Koshy and Justice K Sujana ruled that the case stood abated following the death of Ramoji Rao last year. The court held that in the absence of the main accused, further prosecution of the company could not continue effectively. The ruling thus brings a long-pending legal battle to a close, nearly 18 years after the original case was filed.

The firm, however, argued that it was functioning as a Hindu joint family business, which is not prohibited under law, and that the restrictions cited in the RBI Act applied only to non-banking financial companies. The RBI opposed this argument, asserting that the charges were against the corporate entity, not just Ramoji Rao. It said the business operations of Margadarsi Financiers were still active, and the legal question of whether it had accepted deposits in violation of the RBI Act remained unresolved. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Biggest Real Estate Discounts Ever at M3M India.

However, Justice Koshy, announcing the court's decision, stated that prosecution could not move forward in the absence of the key individual accused and allowed the company's plea. Margadarsi was represented by a team of senior advocates, including S Nagamurthy, Mukul Rohatgi, and Siddharth Luthra. The RBI was represented by senior counsel L Ravichander, and the AP govt by public prosecutor Palle Nageshwar Rao. The high court also closed the petitions filed by the current management of the company seeking to be made parties in the case. Since the main petition was allowed and the criminal cases quashed, their applications were declared closed.

BJP raises spectre of ‘political Islam' infiltrating Church in Kerala
The BJP has raised the spectre of 'political Islam' infiltrating the Church in Kerala. The party's State vice-president Shone George told a news conference on Monday (August 4, 2025) that radical Islamists, beholden to the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and Jamaat-e-Islami, had infiltrated Church protests in sizeable numbers, including those led by bishops, across the State. He noted the presence of Islamist elements in demonstrations led by Church leaders and the laity in several locations, including Kannur, Thalassery, Kozhikode, Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, Mananthavady, Angamaly and Ernakulam. 'I talked to the senior-most prelate in Kerala on Monday. He seemed not to be concerned about the presence of radical Islamists among the demonstrators,' he added. Asked to adduce evidence to back his charges, Mr. George asked mediapersons to contact the State police intelligence or mine their sources in the localities. Mr. George alleged that the SDPI's gambit was to use the arrest of the nuns as a foil for alienating Christians from the BJP. The SDPI and Jamaat-e-Islami's tactics had the tacit backing of the Congress and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]. He accused the ruling front and the Opposition of seeking to frustrate the efforts of the BJP governments at the Centre and Chhattisgarh to secure an early release for the nuns. 'Both the Congress and the CPI(M) wanted the nuns to remain in jail to ensure that the emotive issue festers and retards the BJP's bourgeoning acceptance among Christians in Kerala,' he added. Mr. George said the Vatican Council in 1964 had ruled against forced conversion. 'In contrast, if Tipu Sultan's expeditionary forays had not halted at Kodungalloor 200 years ago, Kerala's social matrix would have been different,' he added. Mr. George attacked the Congress and CPI(M) for seeking the support of the Jamaat-e-Islami and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) respectively during the recent byelection in the Nilambur Assembly constituency. He said the BJP was with 'patriotic Muslims,' who, he stated, were in the majority. BJP leader S. Suresh, who is also a State vice-president, said the party would not allow political adversaries to single out State president Rajiv Chandrasekhar for criticism.

Pollution boards can seek damages, bank guarantees for future, says Supreme Court
In a significant decision aimed at empowering pollution control boards, the Supreme Court Monday held that they can seek compensation for restitution of damages already caused by polluting entities or demand bank guarantees to prevent any potential future environmental damage. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Misra set aside the Delhi HC Division Bench order which said the Boards are 'not empowered to levy compensatory damages in exercise of powers under Section 33A of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Section 31A of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 on the ground.' The HC held that such levy can be made only by courts, after taking cognisance of offences specified under the Acts. The SC said, 'having considered the principles that govern our environmental laws and on interpretation of Sections 33A and 31A of the Water and Air Acts, we are of the opinion that that the Division Bench of the High Court was not correct in restrictively reading powers of the Boards. We are of the opinion that these regulators in exercise of these powers can impose and collect, as restitutionary or compensatory damages, fixed sum of monies or require furnishing bank guarantees as an ex-ante measure towards potential or actual environmental damage.' The Delhi Pollution Control Board had approached the SC against the HC judgement which quashed the show cause notices issued by the Board to some residential complexes, commercial complexes and shopping malls which were allegedly constructed and were operating without obtaining the mandatory 'consent to establish' and 'consent to operate' under the Water Act and Air Act. The SC judgment said, 'The Board's powers under Section 33A of the Water Act and Section 31A of the Air Act have to be read in light of the legal position on the application of the Polluter Pays principle… This means that the State Board cannot impose environmental damages in case of every contravention or offence under the Water Act and Air Act. It is only when the State Board has made a determination that some form of environmental damage or harm has been caused by the erring entity, or the same is so imminent, that the State Board must initiate action under' the provisions. It directed that 'the powers must be exercised as per procedure laid down by subordinate legislation incorporating necessary principles of natural justice, transparency and certainty.' The court said that 'given their broad statutory mandate and the significant duty towards public health and environmental protection the Boards must have the power and distinction to decide the appropriate action against a polluting entity. It is essential that the Boards function effectively and efficiently by adopting such measures as is necessary in a given situation. The Boards can decide whether a polluting entity needs to be punished by imposition of penalty or if the situation demands immediate restoration of the environmental damage by the polluter or both.' The bench said, 'Our firm view is that remedial powers or restitutionary directives are a necessary concomitant of both the fundamental rights of citizens who suffer environmental wrongs and an equal concomitant of the duties of a statutory regulator… The State's 'endeavour to protect and improve the environment' will be partial, if it does not encompass a duty to restitute.' It said that 'of all the duties imposed under Article 51A (fundamental duties), the obligation to conserve and protect water and air, is perhaps the most significant, amidst our climate change crisis. The Water Act and the Air Act institutionalised all efforts and actions that need to be taken to protect air that we breathe and water that we consume by creating the Pollution Control Boards. These Boards functioning as our environment regulators are expected to act with institutional foresight by evolving necessary policy perspectives and action plans.'
