We are delighted to share that Phoenix Legal led by our co-founding Partner Saket Shukla along with Zoeb Cutlerywala (Partner), Rahul Tyagi (Principal Associate) and joy pereira (Senior Associate) successfully managed to obtain a stay on investigation in connection with the FIR registered against Mr. Arnab Goswami, director of ARG Outlier Media Pvt. Ltd. before the Karnataka High Court on 17 December 2024, in the nick of time.   The FIR u/s 505(2) of the then Indian Penal Code (Statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) was registered at the behest of one of the office bearers of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, pursuant to the news reporting conducted by the R. Kannada News channel with regards to a video which was received by the news channel, shot by members of the public. Mr. Goswami was wrongly and out of context implicated in the present case as being the owner of Republic Kannada and it was alleged that the reporting was done by the channel to rile up public opinion during the time of election. Mr. Goswami had no role nor had he hosted or participated in any manner whatsoever, in the reporting in question. In any event, the FIR/complaint failed to establish any case u/s 505(2) of the IPC. Terming the FIR to be a "reckless registration of a crime", the Hon’ble Karnataka High Court while exercising its Writ Jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India r/w Section 482 of the then Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 stayed the investigation in relation to the FIR observing that it was not understood how section 505(2) could spring even in the remotest sense in the present case.   https://lnkd.in/gWGSzq8K   https://lnkd.in/gGtgkvpu

Our Partner, Aman Avinav authored an article titled "Draining the endless swamp of tax disputes," published by India Business Law Journal. In this article, Aman delves into the reintroduction of the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, aimed at resolving outstanding income tax disputes and promoting timely settlements. The scheme, designed to benefit the government, taxpayers, and courts alike, offers a straightforward mechanism for settling disputes at the appellate stage while addressing longstanding issues in procedural delays. The article also highlights key exclusions under the scheme, such as cases arising from search assessments and undisclosed foreign assets, along with a significant proposal to decriminalize TDS payment delays—marking a step towards procedural fairness and reducing burdens on businesses.
