So do we know what happened with the case yesterday?

Nothing posted on court website yet. Usually takes a day or two to catch up.

The order is yet to be published so we don’t know what (if anything) happened but it’s listed to be in court again on Wednesday.

That seems a much quicker court follow up appearance than it has been in the past, maybe something has actually happened, apart from the standard adjournment?

Cue firing squad being issued with rifles..

By all accounts the Judge was partying late on into the night in a Forest just outside of Pune.

Any sign of the order? Delhi High Court website doesn't seem to load for me these days.

2 years and 230 pages later and still no better informed as to what the feck is going on!

Point 3 is the interesting one for me, this complaint (if I’ve understood the procedure correctly) is the ED saying to the Adjudicating Authority that they believe the Venkys have a case to answer (re their investigation).

Respondent no 2 is the Directorate of Enforcement.

Just checked and it’s listed as the sixth case to be heard on Wednesday - who thinks I need to set my alarm??

@paullarrygher

Delhi High Court updated their website a while ago, perhaps that’s why it no longer loads for you?

This is the link I use https://delhihighcourt.nic.in/app/

Could Wednesday's edition be that the Vs say "oh no we don't"...? 😉 

(thanks for keeping us up to date - feels like being a kid again waiting for next weeks installment or the new season of a show after a few months... 🤣)

If the ED think there is a case to answer they seem to have a 95 per cent success rate in their pursuit of bringing a case.

They need to ‘defend’ themselves to the Adjudicating Authority but them saying they intend to do so (if indeed they do*) may well get brought up on Wednesday.

* I think we all know they will.

Re your new show analogy - do you think we’re at the stage where we know it will be shit but we’re sticking with it anyways 😁😁

Please don’t let the Venkys be part of the 5%.

Thanks for your work/vigilance here.

I just had a phone call from a trusted source close who claims:

“ I understand venkys are to be heavily fined for financial misconduct and will have penalties added to their business and associated companies.”

[Rogerb]

Penalties very appropriate for a football club.

Does this enable anyone to revisit their" fit and proper" status?  (Thought not..)

[Tomphil2]

Doesn't the DoE still have seized labels on a number of Venky properties ?

It may depend on whether any decision by the Adjudicating Authority is deemed to be a conviction (I don’t think it will be).

If it was, they may be caught by 2.1.8(b)(i) of the Owners’ and Directors’ Test (under disqualify event)

If they have/will be fined for illegal financial activity, even if the "Fit and Proper Test" doesn't demand a sale, it is more than enough to create a movement with a concretely evidential reason for their removal. One which local MPs would be able to take a solid and non-political position on.

Local MP's...Well, that's a laugh....

It’d be a sure vote winner for them - if they could be bothered.
