HC allows ‘duped' NRI to attend MBBS counselling
Chennai: Madras high court has ordered an MBBS-aspirant, whose application was rejected on charges of furnishing a fake relationship certificate for admission under NRI quota, to be included in counselling, as the court found though his certificate was fake, the NRI relationship was genuine. A division bench of Justice M Sundar and Justice T Vinod Kumar granted relief to P V Arjun as the court found that his father had been 'duped' by a man who helped him obtain the certificate. Also, a scrutiny revealed that a subsequent certificate produced by the candidate was genuine and that his sponsor was none other than his father's blood brother, an NRI residing in Muscat. The bench passed the order on an appeal moved by the panel challenging an order of a single judge of the court directing the inclusion of the petitioner in the eligible candidate list for the NRI quota. The panel pointed out various clauses in the prospectus stating the candidates and parents would be responsible for documents submitted and they should not rely on agents/touts. It was said in the prospectus that after scrutiny, if the particulars furnished in the application were incorrect, his/her candidature would be cancelled.

Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon faces US charges in $40 billion crypto fraud: Report
Image source: Reuters South Korean cryptocurrency entrepreneur Do Kwon is reportedly facing fraud charges in the US. According to news agency Reuters, Kwon has been charged over two digital currencies that lost an estimated $40 billion in 2022. Citing court records, the report states that the crypto tycoon is expected to enter a guilty plea. Kwon co-founded Singapore-based Terraform Labs and created the TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies. As per the report, he had earlier pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy to launder money. In a short scheduling order, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer said he had been informed that Kwon may change his plea. He set a hearing for Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) in Manhattan federal court. In December last year, Kwon was extradited to the United States from Montenegro over the collapse of two digital tokens. 'The Minister of Justice, Bojan Bozovic, issued a decision approving the extradition of the accused, Kwon Do Hyung, to the United States of America," the Ministry of Justice then announced said in a statement. "It was concluded that the majority of the criteria prescribed by law favour the extradition request from the competent authorities of the United States of America," the statement said. In February 2024, US regulators charged Kwon and his company Terraform Labs with "orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud". "We allege that Terraform and Do Kwon failed to provide the public with full, fair, and truthful disclosure as required for a host of crypto asset securities, most notably for Luna and TerraUSD," US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Gary Gensler said in a statement at the time.
