Gasoline trade amid refinery disruptions relies on sanctioned fleets and dark ship-to-ship transfers, alongside continuing fuel export restrictions.
Russian refinery disruption has increased gasoline imports and made India a significant supplier of gasoline to Russia. Indian supplies were principally linked to the Vadinar refinery, and increased Indian purchases of Russian crude may mean exported gasoline was produced from Russian crude. Russia has retained a gasoline export ban while domestic production remains disrupted. India-origin cargoes imported during August were carried on sanctioned fleets and involved dark ship-to-ship transfers, including transfers conducted with automatic identification system signals switched off.

Digital arrest fraud: judicial responses seek a distinct offence while preserving due process and proportionality in economic-crime enforcement.
Suo motu consideration of digital-arrest fraud reflects a proactive judicial response to video-call scams involving impersonation of police, judicial officials or bureaucrats. The Union and the States have been directed to assess the problem, with a call for a distinct offence carrying proportionate penalties. Economic-crime enforcement remains subject to safeguards requiring written grounds of arrest and preventing pre-trial detention from becoming punishment. Due process, proportionality and the presumption of innocence remain central constraints.

Natural justice in licensing enforcement requires meaningful hearing and reasoned orders before cancellation or suspension of regulated operations.
Natural justice in regulatory licensing enforcement requires a meaningful hearing, proper legal analysis, and a reasoned decision before licence cancellation or suspension. Maharashtra FDA withdrew cancellation of drug-sale licences after criticism of the procedure adopted.

Food-safety licensing compliance supports reopening while contractual operation requires notice, hearing, and a reasoned regulatory decision.
Food-safety licence suspension of five eateries was reconsidered after a fresh inspection recorded 88 per cent compliance. The suspension had continued because a third-party operator ran the eateries while licences remained in the association's name, despite no identified legal prohibition. The Food and Drug Administration proposed a fresh notice, hearing, and reasoned order on the contractual arrangement, while current compliance permitted services to resume.
