Sugar price controls face persistent retail and wholesale price firmness despite duty-free imports, stockholding restrictions, and export prohibition.
Sugar retail and wholesale prices remained elevated despite measures intended to curb price increases, including duty-free imports of raw sugar, tighter stockholding norms for bulk users and dealers, and a prohibition on sugar exports. Ex-mill rates declined following the permitted duty-free imports, although customary margins continued between ex-mill, wholesale, and retail prices. Projected sugar production is lower than earlier estimates, while annual domestic demand remains substantial.

Aadhaar OTP verification expands online vehicle and licensing services, reducing physical visits and curbing intermediary exploitation.
Aadhaar-based OTP verification will be extended to additional vehicle- and driving-licence-related services through the Vahan and Sarathi portals. The digital arrangement is intended to reduce physical visits to transport offices, prevent intermediary exploitation arising from delayed processing, and enable applications to be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Physical attendance will remain necessary for vehicle inspections, identification of legal heirs, personal hearings, and authentication where Aadhaar OTP verification fails.

Related-party creditor voting in personal insolvency turned on whether the debtor held majority ownership or direct board control.
Dissenting lenders challenged the admission and voting rights of five creditors alleged to be family-linked associate or related entities, contending that their voting share enabled approval of a personal insolvency repayment plan. They alleged invalid post-moratorium guarantee invocations, undisclosed liabilities, inadequate claim scrutiny and incorrect voting-share computation. The third member rejected the voting-rights challenge, treating associate status as requiring the debtor's personal majority shareholding or direct board control, and accepted the repayment plan.

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 enforcement against restaurants was also reconsidered where the premises were substantially compliant, despite licences being issued to one entity and operations being conducted by another. A fresh notice, hearing on the contractual arrangement, and reasoned order were required before further licensing action.

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.

CPI(M) criticised approval of a repayment plan involving Zee Group founder Subhash Chandra, asserting that repayment of Rs 6.5 crore against creditor claims of Rs 22,006.57 crore undermines fairness in insolvency debt settlement.
