The Bombay High Court has dismissed a plea filed by a candidate seeking another chance to complete document verification in a Maharashtra government recruitment process after he failed to appear within the prescribed timeline. The court held that vague claims of illness and failure to check emails could not justify reopening an almost-completed selection process.

Before the court, the petitioner argued that he missed the verification process due to health issues and because he was unable to regularly access his email during the relevant period. He claimed that he became aware of the missed schedule only on March 28, 2026, after which he immediately submitted representations requesting one final opportunity.

The Supreme Court of India has restored a penalty of more than ₹162 crore imposed on Talwandi Sabo Power Limited, holding that a power generating company can be penalised for failing to demonstrate its declared electricity generation capacity even without proof of deliberate wrongdoing.

The dispute arose after the Punjab State Load Despatch Centre (PSLDC) accused Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL) of “misdeclaration of declared capacity” on several dates in January 2017. According to the authorities, the company failed to demonstrate the declared generation capability when called upon by the grid operator.

The Supreme Court of India has clarified that an arbitration clause contained in an earlier redevelopment agreement can become binding in later agreements if those agreements clearly adopt all terms of the original contract.

The dispute arose after Hirani Developers entered into a redevelopment agreement with Nehru Nagar Samruddhi Co-operative Housing Society in 2011 for redevelopment of a dilapidated property. The agreement included an arbitration clause under Clause 36 for resolving disputes through a sole arbitrator.
