In a recent legal precedent, the Hon’ble Andhra Pradesh High Court rendered a verdict shedding light on the non-appearance of the Assessee for a personal hearing as it pertains to natural justice. The focal point of this judicial discourse revolves around the case of TSN OLD IRON SCRAP MERCHANTS VERSUS DEPUTY ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF STATE TAX, GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH [2024 (1) TMI 230 –…

can you please educate me on what the waqf board is? Asked my dad and did not understand a thing

According to this website, and many more:

What is a Waqf Board?

A Waqf Board is a legal entity responsible for managing waqf properties and ensuring their use for intended religious, pious, or charitable purposes. The term “waqf” originates from the Arabic word meaning “confinement” or “prohibition.” The board administers and oversees the proper maintenance and use of waqf assets, which include mosques, graveyards, orphanages, schools, and other institutions serving the community.

Now, what else does this board do?

Recently it claimed the land of 103 farmers. It is the third largest land owner in India, the first and second being the Railways and the Defence department. It claimed an entire village in Telangana, as well as one in Bihar. They say they're taking back the lands Muslims once donated, but that's what they say.

The Waqf Act was first passed by Parliament in 1954. Subsequently, it was repealed and a new Waqf Act was passed in 1995 which gave more powers to Waqf Boards. In 2013, this Act was further amended to give unlimited powers to Waqf boards to snatch anyone’s property, which even could not be challenged in any court of law.

Simply put, the Waqf Board has unlimited powers to claim properties in the name of Muslim charity — a power that no other religious body in India enjoys.

Instances of misuse.

• In the Avinashi case, as per revenue records, 216 people from Devendrakula Vellalar community were given free patta for over 6.3 acres of land in Devendran Nagar in Cheyvur in 1996. But the beneficiaries are now worried about the ownership of the land as the Waqf Board, in a letter to sub-registrar offices in Avinashi, Thottipalayam, and Joint I and Joint II sub-registrar offices of Tiruppur district on August 8, claimed around 93 properties on certain survey numbers in Avinashi and Tiruppur as Waqf properties.

• Thiruchenthurai, a village located on the Cauvery river’s bank in Tiruchirapalli district, also has a 1,500-year-old Sundareswarar Temple. Villagers are now wondering how the Waqf will claim ownership of this property as well.

• The Supreme Court recently held that in the absence of any proof of dedication or user, a dilapidated wall or a platform cannot be conferred a status of a religious place for the purpose of offering prayers or Namaaz. The decision came as a big relief for the Telangana government, as the state had subsequently leased out the land for setting up a university, township and other institutions of repute. The state government had appealed to the Supreme Court after losing out before the Andhra Pradesh high court in April 2012.

• The Rajasthan Board of Muslim Waqf has been requesting financial assistance from the Rajasthan government in order to pay its workers’ salaries. This is in strange contrast to the fact that Waqf Board has more than 18,000 properties listed across Rajasthan and it generates income from more than 7,000 properties.

• The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board has claimed ownership of the 1500-year-old Manendiyavalli Chandrashekhara Swami temple land. The temple has 369 acres of property in and around Tiruchenthurai village in Tamil Nadu.

• In 2021, Waqf Board wrote an application to Gujarat High Court, staking claim on the ownership of two islands in Bet Dwarka in Devbhoomi Dwarka. An irate court, however, refused to hear the application.

So uh, it's a bunch of people trying to instigate communal violence. The Hindus better look after this thing imo. This is why the waqf amendment bill is necessary. This board need not have so much power in its hands, and as India claims to be a secular state, no religious body should be having so :)

The son and the daughter are equally entitled to inherit a share of the property by birth as coparceners.

Yagnaseni Patel v. The GM Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. & others

WP No. 28534/2020 before Hon’ble Orissa High Court

U/A 226 & 227 of Constitution of India

Writ Petition Allowed on 22.06.2023

By Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dr. B R Sarangi J & Hon’ble Mr. Justice M S Raman J

Background

This is a case where daughters claim equal share in the property of their late father. After the death of the father petitioner’s 03 brothers got property mutated in their name in the Revenue Record. Petitioner and her 02 other sister filed Mutation Appeal before Sub Collector, Sundargarh. Sub-Collector directed Tehsildar to record the name of 03 sisters in the Record of Rights (RoR). Name was recorded in RoR along with their 03 brothers. Daughter’s than claimed equal share in the property before Claim Commission being daughter of the Coparcener are entitled to get equal share as that of her brothers irrespective of the date of death of her father. Brothers disputed on the basis of the Judgment of the Supreme Court namely Prakash and others v. Phulabati and others & Mangammal @ Thulasi and another v. T.B. Raju and others. In these cases, it was held by the SC that daughters are not entitled to get the benefit being not the co-sharer. Claim Commission decided the matter against the petitioner on 04.01.2020.

Contention of the Petitioner

Judgment, basing upon which the Claims Commission decided the matter, had been referred to the Larger Bench and the Larger Bench decided the same in the case of Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma and others, 2020 (II) OLR (SC) 569, which was in favor of the petitioner.

Being daughter of the Late Kulamani Patel stand on the same footing as are the sons.

In view of the decision of the larger Bench in the case of Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma and others, the decision of the Claim Commission is not sustainable and it be quashed.

Contention of the Respondent’s

Since the parties (Petitioner Daughter) approached the Claims Commission for adjudication of the matter and the same was decided on the basis of the law applicable at the relevant point of time. Wherefore, the present Writ Petition be dismissed.

 Writ Court exercising a limited supervisory jurisdiction constitutionally vested under Article 227 should abhor to undertake a deeper examination in such matters.

Hindu Law & Amendment in Hindu Law (2005)

In Hindu Law Succession of property in a Hindu Undivided Family is governed by two schools of law 1. Mitakshara 2. Dayabhaga. Mitakshara entitles a son to a right equal to his father in the joint family property by birth.

All the male descendants of a Hindu in the male line up to the fourth degree of generation are his sons. The adopted child also gets a right equal to the right of his adoptive father in the joint family property from the date of adoption. The daughter is not given a right by birth in the joint family property.

The Parliament, being inspired by the amendments in four States namely Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra & Karnataka, passed The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 for the whole of India.

The amendment is that even in a joint family governed by the Mitakshara law the daughter of a coparcener is made as good a coparcener as a son. She has the same rights in the coparcenary property as she would have had if she had been a son. She has a right to agitate in respect of her share in the joint family property.

Decision of Larger Bench of the Supreme Court in re Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma and others.

 The finding of the apex Court (Prakash and others v. Phulabati and others & Mangammal @ Thulasi and another v. T.B. Raju) that daughters are not entitled to get the benefit of equal share being co-sharers in the ancestral property, no more remains res integra in view of the Larger Bench judgment of the apex Court in the case of Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma and others.

In the case of Vineeta Sharma, Section 6(1) of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 was under consideration and a question was framed “does the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, which gave equal right to daughters in ancestral property, have a retrospective effect”.

The Apex Court, answered the same in affirmative, held that daughter shall remain as coparcener (one who shares equally with others in inheritance of an undivided joint family property) throughout life, regardless of the question as to whether her father was alive when the law was amended in 2005 or not

Sons and daughters of a coparcener become coparceners by virtue of birth.

Observation of the Orissa High Court

In view of the decision dt. 11.08.2020 of the Apex Court in Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma and others., Claims Commission has committed error apparent on the face of the record by passing the order impugned denying benefit to the daughter.

The earlier judgement of the Supreme Court namely Prakash and others v. Phulabati and others & Mangammal @ Thulasi and another v. T.B. Raju has no effect in view of the subsequent decision of the Larger Bench.

The daughter has a right to get the property of her father from the date the Amendment Act came into force.

Decision

The Writ Petition was allowed and the order dated 04.01.2020 passed by Claims is not sustainable in the eye of law and was quashed. However, the matter was remitted back to the Claims Commission for re-adjudication.

Andhra HC rejects anticipatory bail plea of YSRCP leader in TDP office attack case

Andhra Pradesh’s New Epicenter of Growth and Innovation: Amaravati

Amaravati, the newly planned capital city of Andhra Pradesh, has been hailed as the next epicenter of growth and innovation, thanks largely to the visionary leadership of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). As a symbol of progress and a testament to effective governance, Amaravati’s development story stands as a beacon of hope and prosperity, illustrating what is possible with strong political will and strategic planning. Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, and the leader of the TDP played a pivotal role in conceptualizing and driving the growth of Amaravati. Known for his tech-savvy approach and forward-thinking policies, Naidu envisioned Amaravati as a capital city and a world-class smart city that would set new benchmarks in urban development. His commitment to building a city that could compete on a global stage was evident in his relentless pursuit of investments, partnerships, and world-class infrastructure.

Under Naidu’s leadership, Amaravati was planned to be a city that would integrate modernity with sustainability. His administration worked tirelessly to ensure that the city’s design included cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and efficient governance models. This vision attracted global architects and urban planners, who were tasked with creating a city that would be both futuristic and deeply connected to its cultural roots. The TDP government’s tenure saw several groundbreaking initiatives aimed at transforming Amaravati into a thriving economic hub. One of the most notable achievements was the rapid acquisition and pooling of land through a highly successful land pooling scheme, which ensured that farmers and landowners were fairly compensated while allowing the government to proceed with large-scale urban planning. The TDP government also focused on building critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and administrative buildings, which laid the foundation for Amaravati’s future growth. The iconic Secretariat and High Court buildings stand as symbols of this era, reflecting the TDP’s commitment to creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing capital. Moreover, the TDP’s efforts to attract international investments were crucial in putting Amaravati on the global map. High-profile visits from foreign dignitaries and business leaders underscored the city’s potential as a major investment destination. Special economic zones, IT parks, and other business-friendly policies were introduced to foster an environment conducive to growth and innovation. TDP MLAs were instrumental in pushing forward Naidu’s vision for Amaravati. Their active involvement in the legislative process ensured that the necessary policies and approvals were secured promptly, allowing the city’s development to proceed without significant bureaucratic delays. They engaged with local communities, addressing concerns and building public support for the city’s transformation. Their grassroots efforts helped bridge the gap between the government’s ambitious plans and the needs of the people, ensuring that development was inclusive and beneficial to all.

Amaravati’s rise as a new epicenter of growth and innovation in Andhra Pradesh is a testament to the vision, dedication, and strategic leadership of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP. The city’s development story is not just about constructing buildings and infrastructure; it is about creating opportunities, fostering innovation, and building a future that promises prosperity for the people of Andhra Pradesh. As Amaravati continues to grow, it serves as a powerful reminder of what visionary leadership and committed governance can achieve. The legacy of Amaravati under TDP’s stewardship will continue to inspire future generations, making it a symbol of progress in the heart of Andhra Pradesh.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 10th Feb. Four dairy executives from three states have been arrested in connection with the Tirupati laddoo adulteration case, which sparked nationwide outrage last year. A special Supreme Court-ordered investigation uncovered deliberate contamination in the ghee supplied for making the prasadam. The arrested individuals include Bipin Jain and Pomil Jain, former directors of Bhole Baba Dairy (Roorkee, Uttarakhand), Vaishnavi Dairy (Poonambakkam, Tamil Nadu) CEO Apoorva Vinay Kant Chawda, and AR Dairy (Dundigal, Telangana) MD Raju Rajasekharan. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) found serious irregularities in the ghee supply chain, revealing that Vaishnavi Dairy had secured tenders in the name of AR Dairy using fabricated documents and seals. Additionally, fake records were created to claim that ghee was sourced from Bhole Baba Dairy, despite the company lacking the capacity to meet the required supply. Last year, a Gujarat-based lab had detected traces of fish oil, beef tallow, and lard in the ghee samples purchased from a Tamil Nadu supplier, leading to a major controversy. The Andhra Pradesh government flagged the findings, though the lab had issued a disclaimer about “false positives.” The Supreme Court, condemning the politicization of the issue, directed a high-level probe involving CBI officers, Andhra Pradesh Police, and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The investigation team confirmed violations in the procurement process, leading to the arrests. The famed Tirupati kitchen produces nearly three lakh laddoos daily, using approximately 1,500 kg of ghee, along with cashews, raisins, cardamoms, gram flour, and sugar. The case has raised serious concerns over food safety standards in religious offerings.

Global markets mixed at Christmas

Commodity prices were mixed over the Christmas week, looking for direction amid political developments, while markets were dominated by the perception of high risk ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking office and his promised increase in tariffs on China.

US 10-year bond futures hit their highest since May, rising to 4.26 per cent, after the Federal Reserve signalled that next year’s rate-cutting cycle may be slower than expected. The US dollar index held near a near two-year high, rising to 108.3 last week and ending trading at 108.0.

Analysts believe geopolitical tensions and central bank gold purchases will continue after Trump returns to the presidency in January, and political uncertainty will persist.

Gold fell 0.3 per cent an ounce amid rising bonds and markets’ focus on the impact of Trump’s policies and the Fed’s future roadmap. Silver and palladium were down 0.6 per cent and 0.9 per cent respectively, while platinum rose 0.6 per cent an ounce last week.

Meanwhile, copper rose 0.8% as the Chinese government announced it would reduce import tariffs on processed copper and aluminium from January 1.

China’s finance minister said the decision was to encourage imports of high-grade products and expand domestic demand as the China-Maldives Free Trade Agreement (FTA) comes into effect on the first day of the new year.

On Monday, El Salvador’s legislature lifted a seven-year ban on metal mining. President Nayib Bukele backed lifting the ban to boost economic growth, while environmental groups criticised.

Chile’s environmental body SMA filed four charges against Anglo American-controlled Los Bronces copper mine for failing to comply with environmental permits, resulting in a $17.2 million fine.

Chile’s Cadelco has applied to extend the life of its Gabriela Mistral copper mine by more than 25 years with an investment of $800 million. The mine is scheduled to extend its life from 2028 to 2055 and the use of local groundwater will be phased out by 2035.

Aluminium rose 0.8% and zinc rose 1.3%, while lead fell 1.4% and nickel fell 1% over the past week.

Energy sector prices

As for the energy sector, Brent crude ended the week up 1%, rising to a weekly record high thanks to a larger-than-expected decline in US crude inventories. Greece and Israel concluded an agreement to promote regional energy stability and innovative energy projects in the Eastern Mediterranean and the EU.

India’s Bharat Petroleum announced plans to invest $11 billion in a new refinery and petrochemical project in Andhra Pradesh state in the south of the country to meet growing fuel demand.

Russia’s Gazprom chief Alexei Miller said natural gas production will increase by 61 billion cubic metres to 416 billion cubic metres this year. The Venture Bayou tanker of US-based Venture Global LNG has set sail from its export facility in Louisiana to deliver its first cargo to Germany.

Grain prices

China has also launched a 10-year action plan to boost grain consumption and develop the sector through higher standards, research and international co-operation to enhance food security.

According to the plan, by 2035, China’s grain awareness and consumption should match the country’s economic and social development by 2035.

Soybeans rose 1.1 per cent after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Flavio Dino suspended a law that would have eliminated tax breaks for companies following an agreement not to buy soybeans from deforested areas of the Amazon rainforest. The law would have taken effect on January 1 in the western state of Mato Grosso, the country’s largest soybean producer.

On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the price of a bushel of corn rose 1.7 per cent and rice fell 2.2 per cent.

The price of sugar fell 0.8 per cent due to lower sugarcane yields in India following last year’s drought and this year’s heavy rains, which could bring the country’s sugar production below consumption for the first time in eight years.

The price of a tonne of cocoa ended the week down 15.31% from record highs on concerns about the possible impact of the Harmattan wind on Ivory Coast’s cocoa crop, which could dry out the soil and damage the fruit.

The Controversy Surrounding Ram Gopal Varma: An Analysis of His Legal Challenges

Ram Gopal Varma, a name synonymous with controversial filmmaking and outspoken opinions, has once again found himself at the center of a heated legal and political debate. Known for his audacious tweets and unconventional approach to controversies, Varma has often dismissed legal notices and arrest warrants with an almost cavalier attitude. However, recent developments suggest that the situation this time is significantly more serious. As of November 25th, Varma appears to be avoiding direct confrontation with the authorities. The police from Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh, have made attempts to reach him at his residence, only to find him absent. Teams have been dispatched to Mumbai and Coimbatore to locate him. This escalation raises questions about the gravity of the charges against him and his response to them. The Origin of the Legal Battle The issue stems from a social media post by Varma that promoted his pre-election film Vyuham. In this post, Varma used morphed images of prominent leaders like Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan, and Nara Lokesh, placing their faces onto female characters. The post sparked outrage and led to a complaint by Ramalingam, a TDP Mandal Secretary from Maddipadu village in Prakasam district. An FIR was registered on November 12th, and the police subsequently summoned Varma for questioning on November 19th. Varma, citing prior commitments and a packed schedule, failed to appear, requesting an extension to November 24th. As the situation escalated, Varma and his legal team filed a quash petition and an anticipatory bail plea in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Legal Proceedings and Responses Varma’s advocate, Balayya, has made the following arguments in his client’s defense: - Cooperation with Authorities: Varma has responded to the police notices and expressed willingness to cooperate. His absence, they argue, is due to genuine professional commitments. - Virtual Meetings as a Solution: Given concerns about potential arrest during in-person questioning, Varma’s team proposed a virtual meeting. - Media Speculations: Balayya emphasized that rumors of third-degree treatment against Varma are baseless and only serve to sensationalize the issue. Despite these assurances, the police remain firm. Prakasam SP A.R. Damodhar has made it clear that the choice between virtual and in-person questioning lies with the authorities, not Varma. He criticized Varma’s perceived lack of respect for the process, stating that such requests should have been made earlier. The Political Angle The controversy has also drawn comments from political figures. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy recently condemned what he called “revenge politics.” He questioned the legitimacy of targeting Varma when his films, including Vyuham, have passed the scrutiny of the censor board. Reddy highlighted the importance of free speech and the risks of stifling dissent through legal intimidation. Analyzing the Larger Picture The situation presents a complex interplay of legal, political, and social factors. On one hand, the police are acting on a complaint that falls under the purview of defamation and potential misuse of social media platforms. On the other, Varma’s supporters argue that his actions fall under creative freedom and political satire. This case also raises broader questions about the fine line between free speech and defamation. Should filmmakers and public figures be held to stricter standards when commenting on sensitive political issues? Or does this signify an attempt to curtail dissenting voices under the guise of legal enforcement? Conclusion The saga surrounding Ram Gopal Varma’s legal challenges is far from over.
