Economic offences concentration in metros highlights chargesheet rates and rising cybercrime across states and cities.
The NCRB data shows concentrated incidence of economic offences in specific metropolitan centres and states, with police filing chargesheets in a measured proportion of registered financial fraud cases; the report also separately records metropolitan and state-level differentials in cybercrime incidence.

Economic offence rate highest in the capital, showing concentrated frauds, high pendency and arrest activity.
Delhi recorded the highest incidence of economic offences among Union Territories in 2023, with most cases classified as forgery, cheating and fraud; additional matters involved criminal breach of trust and counterfeiting. Reported losses ranged from small-value cheating to very large-scale frauds. Investigations were marked by substantial carryover pendency, thousands of arrests and a charge-sheeting rate that was roughly half, while pendency remained notably higher than national averages. NCRB statistics use the principal-offence rule and may reflect reporting practices as well as incident levels.

Liquidation as last resort under IBC; courts should not override Committee of Creditors' commercial wisdom.
Ordering liquidation under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is a last resort and courts should ordinarily not interfere with the Committee of Creditors' commercial wisdom as such intervention would undermine the IBC's aims of keeping the corporate debtor viable and realising creditor dues. The CoC retains a vital interest in an approved resolution plan until the plan is implemented, since payments to creditors arise only after implementation, and insolvency regulations permit the CoC to function until either plan approval or a liquidation order is passed.

The court stayed an Economic Offences Wing probe initiated on NHRC directions into aided madrassas and issued notice to the NHRC and complainant, on a petition arguing the NHRC acted without jurisdiction because the complaint omits the date of alleged violations and thus may breach the one year limitation under Section 36(2), and that none of the bases for inquiry in Section 12 A apply; respondents were directed to file replies within four weeks and a further hearing was scheduled.
