ICD-bound containers selected for scanning may be scanned at a Mobile Scanner regardless of their original allocation to a Drive Through Scanner, without further permission from the Container Scanning Division. Port Terminal Operators must ensure scanning before onward movement: containers from BMCT may use the nearest Mobile Scanner or DTCS02, while other terminals must use the designated Mobile Scanners. Containers reported clean are released under prescribed Customs procedures; suspicious containers must move to the nominated CFS for 100% examination. Operators must maintain records and submit consolidated weekly scanning reports each Monday. The arrangement takes immediate effect.

Filing deadlines for electronic PGIRP-1 to PGIRP-6 forms monitoring insolvency resolution processes of personal guarantors to corporate debtors are extended until 31 December 2026. The extension applies to all applicable forms required through the e-platform. Penalties for delayed submission or modification of these forms will be levied only after 31 December 2026, allowing additional time for compliance during the transition.

Primary evidence consists of the document itself produced for the court's inspection. Each part of a document executed in several parts is primary evidence, and each executed counterpart is primary evidence against its executing parties. Documents produced through one uniform process, such as printing, lithography or photography, are primary evidence of each other's contents. Copies made from a common original, however, are not primary evidence of that original's contents.

Proof of the contents of documents may be established by either primary evidence or secondary evidence. Both forms are recognised as permissible evidentiary means for demonstrating what a document contains. Documentary contents may therefore be proved through primary evidence, or alternatively through secondary evidence, for use in legal proceedings.

Judicial notice under section 56 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, removes the requirement of proof for any fact of which the Court will take judicial notice. Such facts are categorised as facts not requiring proof, so parties need not adduce evidence to establish them before the Court in a proceeding.

A counterclaim operates as a cross-suit, and its adjudication conclusively determines rights independent of the original suit. Dismissal of the plaintiff's suit and a decree on the defendant's counterclaim constitute distinct decrees even where they arise from a common judgment or formal decree. Each adjudication requires a separate appeal. Failure to independently challenge either determination permits it to attain finality and may trigger res judicata; consequently, a single composite appeal is not maintainable.

Character is relevant in civil proceedings where it affects the amount of damages to be assessed. Character includes reputation and disposition, but evidence is ordinarily limited to general reputation and general disposition rather than particular acts used to demonstrate either quality. This limitation remains subject to the applicable exception for character evidence.
