Shilpa Shetty Withdraws Travel Plea Amid Rs 60-Crore Fraud Probe

Actor Shilpa Shetty has formally withdrawn her interim petition seeking permission to travel abroad amid a Rs 60-crore fraud probe involving her and husband Raj Kundra, the Bombay High Court was informed on Thursday. The move comes after the court signalled strong reservations about granting the couple permission. Advocate Niranjan Mundargi, appearing for Shetty, told a bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad that the foreign trip - to the US for a "professional commitment," reportedly linked to an international video collaboration - "did not materialise," and that she was not pressing the current travel request.

Shilpa Shetty Withdraws Travel Plea Amid Rs 60-Crore Fraud Probe

Actor Shilpa Shetty has formally withdrawn her interim petition seeking permission to travel abroad amid a Rs 60-crore fraud probe involving her and husband Raj Kundra, the Bombay High Court was informed on Thursday. The move comes after the court signalled strong reservations about granting the couple permission.

Advocate Niranjan Mundargi, appearing for Shetty, told a bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad that the foreign trip - to the US for a "professional commitment," reportedly linked to an international video collaboration - "did not materialise," and that she was not pressing the current travel request. He was allowed to file a fresh application if the couple wished to travel in the future. 

The main writ petition challenging the Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against Shetty and Kundra has been listed for further hearing on November 17.

During the hearing, complainant's counsel Yusuf Iqbal objected to an affidavit dated October 14 submitted by Shetty, stating it was "not notarised in accordance with law." He alleged that Shetty had not signed the affidavit before the notary.

Mundargi stated that he had no instructions regarding the notarisation issue. "Be that as it may, the applicant is not intending to travel as of now and seeks liberty to withdraw," he submitted. 

The case was registered following a complaint by businessman Deepak Kothari, who alleged that he was induced to invest Rs 60 crore in Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, a company linked to Shetty and Kundra, and that the funds were diverted for personal use.

Earlier this month, the High Court had rejected the couple's plea to travel to Phuket, observing that the applicants had failed to produce credible documents to justify the trip and noting that the investigation into the alleged fraud was still ongoing.

Sri Lanka defeated tournament favourties Pakistan to reach the final, and Akhtar feels that winning the final won't be a cakewalk for India. "We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well. Ye khala ji ka ghar nahi hai jaha pe India...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
