INDIA – Delhi HC Restrains Associations Of Hoteliers From Boycotting OYO
The Delhi High Court (HC) has restricted various welfare associations of hoteliers from issuing notices or boycotting and banning the OYO hospitality company. In an interim order, the tribunal said it appeared that the act of hotelier associations pushed other hoteliers and service providers to behave in violation of the agreement between them and Oravel Stays Private Limited, which works under OYO’s name. The court observed that it would be illegal for OYO to have a suitable contract with other hoteliers and service providers and for the associations to boycott the business prima facie. The suit claimed that the association was “unlawfully conspiring and colluding with other similar organizations to come together and protest and force the plaintiff to submit unwarranted, unlawful demands, thereby stopping his company and causing serious public inconvenience/unrest,” said the judge.

USA – How Canada’s Legal Weed Can Prevent You From Entering The U.S.
Canada legalized weed last October, but cannabis possession in the U.S. remains a federal crime. That can spell difficulty for Canadians who want to cross the border but who have convictions of marijuana possession from years before. There’s Mark’s tale. He was detained for marijuana possession in his late teens back in the winter of 1982. He pleaded guilty in court, obtained a conditional discharge, and continued with the rest of his life. That’s until last May. While crossing the border with his spouse, he was pulled over and questioned about his 37-year-old detention. He is now banned from crossing the U.S. border.
INDIA – Reveal Foreign Income In Tax Returns Or Face Disciplinary Action
Black Money has always been a problem for India, and for ages, the government has tried to cope with it. Recognizing the constraints under current laws, the government has implemented a thorough fresh black money law to deal specifically with money stashed away from overseas. The bill was implemented as the ‘Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Tax Act, 2015′ (Black Money Act) in May 2015. In the Indian tax return from FY 2011-12, reporting requirements for foreign assets were initially introduced under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (IT Act). Initial non-disclosure may have attracted an endless punishment under the IT Act; however, penal effects on non-disclosure have become more stringent following the implementation of the Black Money Act. The main implications of the Black Money Act are mentioned; undisclosed overseas income and assets are taxed at a flat rate of 30%. Exemptions or deductions that may otherwise apply in such instances shall not be permitted. Dissimulation of income and assets and tax evasion concerning foreign assets will be liable for prosecution with a punishment of up to 10 years imprisonment. Although there is no taxable income, beneficial owner or beneficiary of overseas assets will be needed to file returns. Rs 10 lakhs penalty may be levied for failure to file tax returns or for filing tax returns with insufficient disclosure of foreign assets. Failure to file a tax return or disclose data on international revenue and property in return for income may result in prosecution with a penalty of up to seven years’ imprisonment. Therefore, considering the severe penal consequences for non-reporting or inaccurate reporting, it is advisable to accurately report all overseas revenue and assets in the Indian tax return, to avoid penal consequences under the Black Money Act.
USA – San Francisco Prohibits E-Cigarettes Due To Minor Use
San Francisco has become the first city in the United States to prohibit the sale of electronic cigarettes-they hope that the prohibition of nicotine products will stop children from using it. Under U.S. federal law, you must be at least 18 years old to buy these products, although the age limit is 21 in the state of San Francisco, California. However, Figures indicate that middle and high school learners (11-18 years of age) who have started using nicotine products have increased by 36%, one of the causes of this issue is the use of e-cigarettes and vaping products. The mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, now has ten days to create these fresh rules into legislation, but she says she’s going to do it. The law would start in seven months, although some companies selling these products might challenge the decision.
INDIA – HC Reserves Order On Death-Row Convicts’ Plea In 2007 Pune Gang Rape And Murder of BPO Employee Case
On Tuesday (June 25), the Bombay High Court (HC) reserved its order on requests filed by two males, sentenced to death in the 2007 rape and murder of a BPO employee in Pune, urging them to strike down their requests for mercy and commute their death sentences. Purushottam Borate (37) and Pradeep Kokade (30) stated in their petitions that they had suffered “unnecessary and avoidable delay of 1,509 days in executing the death sentence, solitary confinement lasting more than seven years.” Their lawyer, Yug Chaudhry, had earlier stated that the two-year delay in issuing their execution warrant was unprecedented in India after their mercy petition was dismissed. Chaudry argued that the government had not complied with the execution warrant issuing mandate. He informed the court that the trial court must set an execution date, but the state government must make the required requests and make an attempt to set a date. Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni, appearing for state government, informed the court that it should understand, while deciding on the petitions, that it was the judiciary that concluded if both of the accused were to be sentenced to death.
USA – U.S. Supreme Court May Act On ‘Dreamers’ Immigrants, After A Lengthy Delay
In the coming days, the U.S. Supreme Court will have the last opportunity before its Three (3) months summer break to decide whether to take up President Donald Trump’s long-stalled bid to end a program which protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants illegally brought to the nation as children from deportation. The Trump administration on November 5 requested the Conservative-majority court to reject three lower court rulings that blocked the Republican president’s 2017 plan to end the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program introduced by his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama in 2012. Currently, DACA protects about 700,000 immigrants-mostly Hispanic young adults-from deportation and offers them with job permits. These immigrants are often called “Dreamers” based on the name of previous unsuccessful legislation intended to provide them with legal status.

On Tuesday (June 26, 2019) a single judge bench of the Madras High Court upheld the tax demand for more than Rs 2,500 crore as a dividend distribution tax (DDT) raised by the income tax department on the IT provider Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) as a result of its share buyback. The case arises from the demand for payment of a 15% tax on the remittance of Rs 19,415 crore to its non-resident shareholders in the United States and Mauritius, against the buyback in May 2016 of 94 lakh of its equity shares. Rejecting the company’s appeal against the demand of the department as untenable at this stage, Justice K Kalyanasundaram directed the company to exhaust all other legal remedies available, including shifting the appeal power, before approaching the high court. The operations of Cognizant stay unaffected by this litigation that has been going on for over a year.

UNITED KINGDOM: The Standards Of International Law On The Prohibition Of Torture Continue To Be Ignored: Reports
UN General Assembly on December 12 1997, declared June 26 to be the International Day of the United Nations in Support of Victims of Torture. The purpose of the day was to guarantee the complete eradication of torture and the efficient working of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Despite benefiting from an absolute ban, the crime of torture is far from being efficiently eradicated. The participation and complicity of states in torture is not just a matter characteristic of dictatorships or the usual suspects of violations of human rights. The problem remains to be challenging in nations with reasonable human rights records as well – for example, the U.K. in May 2019. The government faced new criticism after being accused of secretly creating a torture policy that is (allegedly) contrary to international legal norms.
