If you have a client who is not discharged in a criminal case, but his co-accused is discharged, this recent #SupremeCourt judgment might be of some use for you.
#SupremeCourt holds that the benefit of Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act is available to an offender who has been sentenced only to payment of fine !
A suit between A and B is decreed ex-parte.
Can C (a third party) file an application to set aside ex-parte decree under Order IX Rule 13 CPC?
#SupremeCourt takes note of contradictory views in its earlier judgments and refers the issue to larger bench !
Trial Court judges who are dealing with criminal matters, should read today’s #SupremeCourt judgment.
This judgment directs all Trial Courts to follow standardized format for cataloguing witnesses, documentary evidence, and material objects.
Where there is a pending civil dispute between the parties, Police and Criminal Courts must be circumspect in filing a chargesheet and framing charges respectively.
#SupremeCourt says only cases with a strong suspicion should proceed to the formal trial !
🚨Very important information:
If someone’s mobile phone is lost, they should go to the Government of India’s Central Equipment Identity Register (https://t.co/EtdeTXyPmQ) and submit the details.
If that phone is being used anywhere in the country, the police will receive an alert. In the Meerut range, this technology has helped recover around 5,000 phones this year.
The DIG of Meerut, UP Range, Kalanidhi Naithani, is explaining the full details of CEIR. EXCELLENT 👏👏
#SupremeCourt holds that Section 45 read with Section 73 of Evidence Act, can only be invoked for an admitted document for the purpose of comparison of signatures or handwriting.
Digital Gold is unsafe and you may lose all your Saving parked into digital Gold🚨
🚨Not regulated by SEBI/RBI
Digital gold sold by apps (PhonePe, Paytm, Groww, etc.) is not regulated, so there is no guarantee like mutual funds / banks.
🚨No legal claim if seller shuts down
Your gold is stored by private vault partners. If the company goes bankrupt, recovery can be messy.
🚨Counterparty risk
You rely on the seller + refiner + vault. If any one fails, you face risk.
🚨Holding limit only 5 years
Most providers allow max 5 years storage. After that you must sell or convert to physical, which has extra charges.
🚨High buy–sell spread
Digital gold prices have a 3–6% spread, making it costly compared to ETFs.
🚨All Charges (Short)
1. Making/Storage charges (indirect) included in buy price; usually 2–3%.
2. Buy–Sell Spread 3–6% difference between buying and selling price.
3. 3% GST on purchase (same as physical gold).
4. Delivery charges (if you convert to physical), Making charges + shipping charges apply.
5. Exit charges if vault storage expires. Some providers charge for storage beyond limit.
Summary👇
Digital gold is risky mainly because it’s unregulated and depends entirely on private companies, plus it has hidden buy-sell spreads and storage-related costs.
