No relief from Delhi HC to Uddhav on plea against party name, symbol freeze

The Delhi High Court has refused to stay its single judge order, which dismissed a plea filed by former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray against the Election Commission’s decision to freeze his Shiv Sena’s ‘bow and arrow’ symbol.
A division bench, headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, held: “There shall be no stay on the proceedings before the Election Commission of India. Therefore, the Election Commission of India is free to proceed with the adjudication of the dispute pending before it.”
“It is needless to state that the Election Commission of India will proceed in accordance with the procedure followed by the Commission while adjudicating a petition under Para 15 of the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968,” it added.
The HC had, on December 15, reserved its order on the same matter.
Thackeray had approached the High Court on December 13 against its single-judge bench order rejecting his plea against Election Commission’s decision to freeze Shiv Sena’s name and symbol.
On November 15, Justice Sanjeev Narula had dismissed Thackeray’s petition holding that there was no interdiction by the Supreme Court regarding the proceedings to be conducted by the EC.
The EC had directed both Thackeray and Eknath Shinde to restrain from using the same name or symbol till the official recognition is finally decided on October 8.
They were alloted different symbols for the recent Andheri East bypoll.
Thackeray had appealed that EC had assumed that there are two factions of Shiv Sena party while passing the freezing order.
Moreover, he had claimed that it cannot be said that there are two factions in the party as he remains “rightfully elected President”, which was admitted even by Shinde.
“The observation of the Ld. Single Judge that both the appellant and the respondent No. 2 claim to be the President of the original Shiv Sena party is factually incorrect, as the respondent No. 2 in para 3 of his para 15 petition filed before respondent No. 1 himself states that the appellant herein is, and continues to be the Shivsena Pramukh (President/Pramukh) of the Shiv Sena political party,” the appeal stated.
He had stated that the EC has exercised its jurisdiction without taking note of the disqualification proceedings pending before the top court against Shinde.
“Single-judge failed to appreciate that the question of disqualification of Respondent No. 2 (Shinde) is still pending adjudication before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the action of Respondent No 1 (ECI) is premised on an underlying assumption that the Hon’ble Supreme Court will decide in favour of Respondent No. 2,” he had said.

In the Nawab Malik and Hasinia Parker case, the accused was arrested for cheating in the name of digital arrest

Mumbai: Police have arrested an accused who had deposited Rs 15 lakh in a bank account by threatening to arrest former minister Nawab Malik and Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parker in the money laundering case. He had called Delhi Police headquarters and said that there was a money laundering case against the complainant and that his account details had been used in the transactions of Nawab Malik and Haseena Parker, so he needs to be investigated and he is a digital arrestee. The caller had identified himself as DSP Bhupesh Kumar and SP Gopesh Kumar over the phone, after which the police registered a case of fraud. The complainant was also given a fake arrest warrant from the CBI, on which his name was also mentioned, and was instructed to deposit Rs 15 lakh for verification of the funds. This amount was deposited in a Federal Bank account, out of which Rs 5 lakh was transferred to the Bank of Baroda. The details of the accused were found out from the account hold and then the police arrested the accused from Sangli district. He was identified as Vikas Sambhaji Chavan. The accused was arrested and presented in court. A criminal case has also been registered against the accused in Mumbai and Rajasthan. This action was carried out by Joint Police Commissioner Lakshmi Gautam and DCP Parshottam Karad on the instructions of Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti. The police have appealed that there is no law called digital arrest and the CBI, ED and any agency cannot make digital arrest and no law in the Indian Constitution allows for digital arrest. No, that’s why people should be careful.
