Delhi HC upholds CRPF decision rejecting company's bid for arms supply
New Delhi, The Delhi High Court has upheld CRPF's decision rejecting a company's bid for supplying sniper rifles and ammunition, calling it fair and reasonable. Delhi HC upholds CRPF decision rejecting company's bid for arms supply A bench of Justices Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora and Rajneesh Kumar Gupta on July 1 passed the order acting on a petition filed by Stumpp Schuele Lewis Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd's, which alleged technical bias and unfair advantage to rival bidders. The bench said that the petitioner was given ample opportunity, including a second round of field trials, and was unable to point out any unfairness in the field trials. It rejected company's argument that weather conditions or mirage effects caused the petitioner's failure and said that allowing a third trial would undermine the procurement process and set a problematic precedent. "This court finds that the decision taken by respondent 2 in disqualifying the petitioner vide impugned rejection letter dated March 27, 2025 was not arbitrary, unreasonable or irrational as the petitioner was unable to point out any unfairness in the field trials," the bench said. The court noted that all bidders had agreed to the trial methodology in advance, and the petitioner's objections surfaced only after failing the trial, making them appear as an afterthought. The company contested its disqualification. Advocate Rohan Jaitley appeared for the Centre while advocates Varun Pratap Singh, Dev Pratap Shani, and Yogya Bhatia represented the CRPF. The company claimed that it used the specified ball/lock base ammunition whereas its competitors used "hollow point boat tail" type of rounds allegedly in violation of tender norms and international standards. The case stems from a CRPF tender issued on September 24, 2024, for 200 sniper rifles chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. The first round, held in January 2025 in Pune, saw none of the bidders meeting all accuracy benchmarks. A second round in February at the CRPF academy in Gurugram resulted in two other companies passing as the petitioner failed to meet the 400-metre accuracy requirement.

‘Speak Marathi in Maharashtra': Minister after shopkeeper thrashed in Thane - What we know so far
NEW DELHI: A political and linguistic controversy has erupted in Maharashtra after a viral video showed a shop owner being assaulted in Mira Road for allegedly refusing to speak in Marathi. The incident has sparked sharp reactions, including from state Minister Yogesh Kadam who said, 'In Maharashtra, you have to speak Marathi. If you don't know Marathi, your attitude shouldn't be that you won't speak Marathi… If anyone disrespects Marathi in Maharashtra, we will enforce our laws.' He, however, added that vigilante action was wrong and that the attackers should have filed a complaint instead. What is the controversy about? The issue began when a group of men, suspected to be members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), allegedly thrashed Babulal Khimji Chaudhary (48), the owner of a sweet shop in Mira Road, after his staff responded to them in Hindi. The incident, which took place on Tuesday, was captured on video and widely circulated online. Chaudhary told the police that around 10.30 am, the men, wearing clothes with MNS insignia, entered his shop and asked for water. When his worker replied in Hindi, they objected, leading to verbal abuse. The argument escalated when Chaudhary said that his workers were from other states and not fluent in Marathi. The situation worsened when the men allegedly asked him which language is spoken in Maharashtra, and Chaudhary responded that all languages are spoken. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The attackers, reportedly angered by this response, assaulted him and filmed the incident.

MNS defends action, blames 'arrogant' attitude An MNS office-bearer defended the confrontation, saying their workers were celebrating the state government's rollback of a language policy resolution and went to the shop to buy water. 'The owner was arrogant and said that all languages are spoken in Maharashtra. This triggered the argument,' the leader claimed.

Opposition alleges Maharashtra govt purchased cancer diagnostic vans at inflated price, Speaker Rahul Narvekar orders inquiry
Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar Thursday directed the public health department to conduct an inquiry into the purchase of eight cancer diagnostic vans and submit its findings before the end of the Monsoon Session after the Opposition's allegations. Opposition MLAs questioned the price at which each of the vans was purchased. 'As per the information I have, the price of each van was Rs 99 lakh, while a similar van of the Tata company can be purchased at Rs 45 lakh only. The entire purchase process looks managed and there can be no denying this,' said Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Bhaskar Jadhav. Meghana Sakore-Bordikar, Minister of State for Public Health, stated that the purchase of eight cancer diagnostic vans was made through the government's GeM portal via a turnkey process. The rates at which purchases were made were 0.94 per cent less than the estimated rates. There was a competitive tender for the same. It involves the vehicle, medical equipment, furniture and customisation. There has been no corruption in the purchase,' said the minister. She said three companies had participated in the tender process. 'At present, an inquiry is ongoing based on complaints from the legislators,' she said. 'The government has purchased eight cancer diagnostic vans. The price of a van cannot exceed Rs 40 lakh. The equipment in this van is not more than Rs 12 lakhs. However, the vehicles have been purchased at a higher price,' said Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar. Wadettiwar said these vans are related to a life-threatening disease like cancer, and some of the equipment has even broken down. 'There should be an investigation into whether there has been corruption in this purchase. The report must come out if the investigation is ongoing,' he said. The Congress MLA asked the Speaker to ensure that the report is tabled before the house, before the end of the session. 'The inquiry must be conducted at the earliest and the report should be tabled before the House before the end of the session,' said Speaker Narvekar.
