Indian Supreme Court nails sudden airfares

India’s federal government told the Supreme Court Friday that new regulations to curb sudden airfare surges have received administrative approval and will be officially notified within two weeks.Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed a three-judge bench, led by Justice Vikram Nath, that the finalized rules are ready following administrative clearance. The court directed the government to place the published regulations on record ahead of the next hearing, scheduled for Nov. 16.The update comes during a public interest litigation filed by activist S. Laxminarayanan, which challenges what it calls opaque and exploitative pricing models used by private airlines during peak travel periods, holidays, and emergencies. Senior counsel Rabindra Shrivastava raised concerns over ongoing delays in publishing the framework, noting that travelers face steep price hikes during the upcoming festival season. The petition seeks an independent regulatory body to ensure transparent fare structures and protect consumer interests. It also questions the reduction of free check-in baggage allowances from 25 kilograms to 15 kilograms, arguing passengers are forced to pay extra for previously included services.

Indian home ministry writes to Punjab government on Jhota murder case

India’s Ministry of Home Affairs is demanding an official report from the Punjab government following the high-profile killing of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota in the district of Mansa.Union Home Minister Amit Shah issued a statement on social media platform X condemning the killing, while also referencing a separate case involving a suicide under alleged pressure in Dirba. Shah highlighted corruption and intimidation allegations raised by Jhota’s family against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a state lawmaker, pointing to what he characterized as worsening threats from illicit narcotics, gangsterism, and organized crime across Punjab.Shah questioned Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s administration over its handling of public safety, demanding an impartial investigation into potential political protection for local criminal networks. He reaffirmed commitments by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to dismantle regional drug cartels. The shooting has triggered sharp political sparring between the BJP and AAP, giving opposition parties significant momentum to challenge the state government over its broader law-and-order record.

Punjab CM's OSD questioned for six hours by CBI

India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Rajbir Singh Ghuman, officer on special duty (OSD) to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, for nearly six hours Friday as part of an ongoing corruption investigation.Ghuman arrived at the CBI office in Chandigarh around 3 p.m. and emerged at 8:45 p.m., telling reporters he answered approximately 40 questions. He claimed the probe is a political plot to malign the Chief Minister and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of upcoming elections.The inquiry stems from an Oct. 5 ruling by the Punjab and Haryana High Court ordering a probe by a central agency into alleged irregularities surrounding government transfers, postings, and tenders. Following the order, the CBI registered a First Information Report against Ghuman and several others.India's Supreme Court has directed federal authorities not to take coercive measures against Ghuman while the investigation proceeds, but rejected pleas to stay the FIR or pause the inquiry.Ghuman, who was served a notice via WhatsApp following two previous missed summons, said he will continue to cooperate with investigators and is scheduled to appear again Monday.

Alnoor Fatehali Nathoo settles with the ASC for market manipulation and insider reporting violations

The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has concluded a Settlement Agreement and Undertaking with Alnoor Fatehali Nathoo of Calgary, Alberta, for breaching Alberta securities laws. Nathoo participated in a market manipulation of Softlab9 Software Solutions Inc. (Softlab) shares and failed to comply with insider reporting requirements.Softlab was a British Columbia reporting issuer whose shares traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Nathoo was a director of Softlab between October 2019 and September 2022.Between February and November 2020, Nathoo coordinated his trading activity with others to create a false and misleading appearance of trading activity in Softlab shares and to artificially increase the company’s share price. He used accounts in his own name and an account belonging to his spouse—over which he exercised control and had beneficial ownership—to engage in uptick trading and bid support. Uptick trading and bid support are trading strategies used in market manipulation to give a false appearance of momentum or investor interest in a stock and to create an artificial price that does not reflect genuine supply and demand. This conduct can mislead investors, distort price discovery and undermine trust in the capital markets.Nathoo admitted he engaged in conduct he knew may contribute to a false or misleading appearance of trading activity in, and an artificial price for, the shares of Softlab. As a director of Softlab, Nathoo was required to file insider reports and make related disclosures. However, he failed to report shares he acquired from another Softlab director in November 2019 and Softlab shares he acquired through his spouse’s account. Nathoo admitted that these failures breached Alberta securities laws.As part of the Settlement Agreement and Undertaking, Nathoo agreed to resign all positions he may hold as a director or officer of any reporting issuer; be prohibited for eight years from acting as a director or officer, engaging in investor relations activities, and participating in the capital markets in a management capacity; be prohibited for eight years from trading in or purchasing securities or derivatives, with limited exceptions; and pay $105,000 to the ASC, inclusive of $20,000 in costs.Nathoo was a respondent in a Notice of Hearing issued by the ASC on April 2, 2024. A copy of the Settlement Agreement and Undertaking is available online.In June 2025, Michael Baron, another respondent, settled with the ASC in relation to market manipulation of Softlab shares.The hearing into the allegations against the remaining respondent is in progress. For more information on the hearing, visit the Status of Current Proceedings page at asc.ca. The ASC gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the BC Securities Commission (BCSC), Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter.The ASC is the regulatory agency responsible for administering the province’s securities laws. It is entrusted with fostering a fair and efficient capital market in Alberta and with protecting investors. As a member of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the ASC works to improve, coordinate and harmonize the regulation of Canada’s capital markets.

Speeding driver gets his muscle car impounded by BC Highway Patrol

The driver of a souped-up Dodge Challenger Hemi R/T blames his car for getting two excessive speed impounds from BC Highway Patrol, in different areas of BC, since summer 2025.On October 2, at 10:15 a.m., on Highway #1 near Golden, a BC Highway Patrol officer stopped a black Dodge Challenger that was observed going 151 km/h in a 100 zone. The 59-year-old Vernon man had previously lost the same vehicle in June 2025 to an excessive speed impoundment issued by BC Highway Patrol – Falkland. “The driver of the Dodge Challenger said his car was ‘too fast,’ but our officer pointed out that there are two pedals,” said Sergeant Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “We’d like to invite all drivers to experiment with using the ‘go fast’ pedal a little less.”The driver was issued excessive speed (41 to 60 km/h over the limit), section 148(1) of the BC Motor Vehicle Act ($368), Tinted windows, section 7.05(8) of the BC Motor Vehicle Act Regulations ($109), the cost of a tow and a seven-day impound (ICBC may choose to increase a second offence to a 30-day impound) at the driver’s expense, increased high-risk driver premiums for at least three years (since the driver is on his second excessive speeding offence, he will pay escalating costs) that push the total cost to $2,500 or more.“We stop drivers of all ages who are speeding excessively,” says Sergeant McLaughlin, “but arguably, drivers of this age should really know better.”
