SC order on Transferable Development Rights to Mysuru royal family interim justice: Minister HK Patil
BENGALURU: Law Minister HK Patil termed the Supreme Court order keeping in abeyance the earlier four orders on Transferable Development Rights (TDR) worth Rs 3,400 crore to the Mysuru Royal family as interim justice. The SC three-judge bench restrained the parties from using the TDR already issued by the government to the legal heirs of the Royal family against the utilisation of 15.36 acres of land on the Bengaluru Palace Grounds until outcome of the final adjudication in August. 'To avoid further complications, the consequential effect of the Order of the SC dated 10.12.2024, 22.05.2025, 17.05.2022, and 9.03.2024 shall be kept in abeyance. This interim arrangement is without prejudice to the rights of the parties,' he quoted the order. 'The hearing will start in August, and we expect that the state will get justice in the final judgment', he said while addressing the press. 'Having regard to the issues involved and to protect the interests of both sides, CA 3303/1997, and all proceedings arising there from are listed for final hearing in the week commencing August 18. As an interim measure, all the TDR issued in contempt order should be retained in the registry of this Court, and those handed over to the applicants are directed not to utilise or sell the DRC (Default Risk Capital) till further orders', the order stated. 'It is made clear that no third-party interest or personal benefit should be made by the release of the TDR. The Review petition filed by the applicants - state shall be listed before the bench in the week commencing 21st July 2025. The interim directions are subject to the outcome of the review petition. However, if the review petition is declined, the interim directions shall continue in force for four weeks from the date of passing such order or till it is heard by the three-judge bench, whichever is later,' it clarified.

Ex-DRC President Kabila holds talks in M23-held city of Goma: Reports
Former President Joseph Kabila has returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, just days after he lost his immunity amid accusations he has helped armed rebels fighting in the eastern DRC, according to the Reuters and AFP news agencies. Kabila, on Thursday, was visiting the eastern city of Goma, which had been seized by the Rwanda-backed M23 militia along with several other areas in the resource-rich east of the country earlier this year. A team of AFP journalists saw Kabila meet local religious figures in the presence of M23's spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka, without giving a statement. Citing three unidentified sources close to Kabila, Reuters also said the ex-president held talks with locals in Goma. The visit comes despite the former president facing the possibility of a treason trial over his alleged support for M23. Earlier this month, the DRC Senate voted to lift Kabila's immunity, paving the way for him to be prosecuted. The ex-president, who has been in self-imposed exile since 2023, denies the allegations and has slammed the charges against him as 'arbitrary decisions with disconcerting levity'. On Thursday, a member of Kabila's entourage told AFP that though no formal alliance existed between his party and M23, both shared the 'same goal' of ending the rule of President Felix Tshisekedi. The United Nations and the DRC's government say Rwanda has supported the M23 with arms and troops – an accusation the neighbouring country denies. The renewed violence has raised fears of igniting a full-blown conflict, akin to the wars that the DRC endured in the late 1990s, involving several African countries, which killed millions of people. The current fighting has already displaced about 700,000 people this year, according to the UN. On Tuesday, Amnesty International accused M23 of committing abuses against civilians in areas under its control, 'including torture, killings and enforced disappearances'. 'These acts violate international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes,' the group said in a statement. M23 says its goal is to protect ethnic minorities against the government in Kinshasa.
