The couple's advocate Prashant Patil said that Shetty and Kundra received the <keyword id="20675198" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="eviction-notices" source="keywords">eviction notices</keyword> only on October 3. He termed the notices arbitrary and illegal and sought them to be quashed. According to the pleas, there is no grave urgency for the petitioners to vacate their premises and that the issuance of such eviction notices was uncalled for. "The petitioners are also seeking relief on humanitarian grounds as the premise in question is their residential premise in which they have been staying with their family of six members for almost two decades," the petitions said. The pleas also sought HC to stay the effect of the eviction notices. As per the pleas, the ED had in 2018 lodged a complaint against one <keyword id="21346793" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amit-bhardwaj" source="keywords">Amit Bhardwaj</keyword> and others for an alleged Bitcoin fraud and on charges of <keyword id="19899231" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="money-laundering" source="keywords">money laundering</keyword>. Both Shetty and her husband have not been named as accused in the case. The ED, during its probe, had summoned Kundra for questioning on several occasions. Kundra had appeared before the agency after each summons, the pleas said. In April 2024, Shetty and Kundra received a notice based on an order passed by the ED provisionally attaching their assets including their residential premise in Juhu that had been purchased by Kundra's father in 2009. Both Shetty and Kundra submitted their response to the notice. "However, in contravention to the provisions of law, the adjudicating authority confirmed the provisional attachment order on September 18, 2024. This order clearly states that the attachment is confirmed only till the conclusion of trial and is subject to its outcome," the pleas said. "The petitioners (Shetty and Kundra) on October 3 received two notices dated September 27, 2024, directing them to vacate their residential premises and the farmhouse," the petitions said. The petitions said no eviction order/notice can be issued prior to conviction. The pleas added that their residential premise has no connection with the scheduled offence or any proceeds of crime. The petitions further claimed that Kundra had absolutely no connection with the alleged fraud.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud with justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra also asked the West Bengal government to file an affidavit explaining the process to determine 77 communities as OBCs. The top court, however, did not stay the Calcutta High Court order but issued notice on West Bengal's application seeking a stay on the order. In the meantime, the top court also asked the government to file an affidavit explaining the process followed for the determination of 77 communities as OBCs. The court sought to know the nature of the survey and the study relied upon the classification of 77 communities as OBCs. The court also sought to know details of the consultation the state government had with the WB Backward Commission prior to including the 77 communities in the OBC list. The court has asked the WB government to file the affidavit within one week. The top court was hearing West Bengal Government challenging Calcutta High Court order.

The IOA had dissolved the ad-hoc panel on April 4 while UWW had lifted its suspension on February 13 this year after WFI conducted its elections. "We are going to take it to double bench. The IOA had dissolved the ad-hoc panel . We will also approach world governing body UWW and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). They had warned that outside interference may impact out athletes," WFI President Sanjay Singh told PTI. "Two World Championships are approaching. Indian wrestlers' participation could be blocked," he feared. The U-17 World championship is set to be held in Amman, Jordan from August 19-25 while the U-20 World championship is scheduled in Pontevedra, Spain from September 2-8. UWW President in his April 25 letter to WFI President had made it clear that ad-hoc panel running the show was not acceptable to them. "In case any decision or order should be made against your federation, and a third party be designated to run the daily affairs of our sport in India in violation of the UWW Statutes, UWW would have no other option than to re-impose a temporary suspension of your federation until further notice, and which, this time, could maybe include your athletes,"UWW president Lalovic wrote. The Centre had suspended the WFI on December 24, 2023, three days after it elected the new office bearers, for allegedly not following the provisions of its own constitution while taking decisions, and requested IOA to constitute an ad-hoc committee to manage its affairs. On March 4, the court had issued notice to the central government, WFI and the ad-hoc committee on the petition filed by the top grapplers.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The United States is preparing for civil unrest surrounding the election.</li><li>Election Day itself isn't as high of a risk as the postelection period, analysts say.</li></ul>The turmoil that took place after the last US presidential election has left its mark.So this time around, as Election Day looms, businesses and governments around the country are preparing in advance — especially if the results are close.The consensus going into Election Day is that will be the case.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harris-trump-presidential-election-swing-state-polls-sun-belt-2024-10">Seven swing states</a> offer multiple avenues for each candidate to win. And the final polls have largely shown the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as a virtual tie nationally.Glen Kucera, an executive at Allied Universal, a private security company, told Business Insider that his clientele are concerned enough to seek more resources to protect themselves and their businesses."The threat is kind of imminent and everywhere," Kucera said. "We're trying to get ahead of the threat."In the final stretch before Election Day, it seems like everyone — from voter advocacy groups and election officials to risk management and security companies — is preparing for civil unrest."I think what is also now on people's minds is the emotion, the anger that goes with some of these elections," Kucera said. "We're being deployed to try to figure all those imminent threats out and try to protect the public as we go into this election."But just how high is the risk?<h2 id="6f2d6248-0787-4c0f-9dc3-5d53c2aad9c9">Election Day isn't the biggest worry</h2>Election Day itself isn't likely to be the most high-risk day for unrest because there will be extensive protective measures taken, said Rachel Brown, an expert on violence, hate speech, and civic engagement at Over Zero, which works to deter identity-based violence."I wouldn't expect us to see a high level of organized violence. People should feel safe voting, and if there is any danger, it's likely to be very highly localized, such as a single person taking action where there seem to be groups trying to mobilize," Brown said on Friday at a press panel hosted by the National Task Force on Election Crises (NTFEC), a cross-partisan election organization.That appears to be the case in Washington and Oregon, where authorities are searching for what they say is a lone actor responsible for placing incendiary devices on at least two ballot drop boxes, burning hundreds of ballots. Officials in Clark County, Washington, where some 488 ballots were damaged, said in a press release that they have been in contact with the majority of the voters affected to issue them replacement ballots.<div type="image" title="A ballot box was damaged in Multnomah County in Portland, Oregon." height="1500" width="2250" msid="114923430" hostid="261" sizebytes="146584"></div>There are protections in place for the voting process, voters, and election workers, Brown said. Voter intimidation is criminal and prosecutable, and locally, voting sites are preparing for any incidents, including swatting attacks, where a fake call is made to law enforcement to trigger an armed response, Brown said."Some of the threats that many of us aren't even thinking about day to day, election officials are working day in and day out to prevent and then respond to," Chris Crawford, an NTFEC staffer and policy strategist at Protect Democracy, said at the panel. "There are remedies when activities like this arise that election officials can still try to ensure that every person can have their votes submitted and counted."The greater risk is likely postelection, when the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-kamala-harris-preparing-legal-challenges-election-decided-court-2024-8">results may be decided in courts</a> instead of on election night. Then, there's the waiting game until Congress counts the electoral votes on January 6, followed by the Presidential Inauguration Ceremony on January 20.Brown said she is "most concerned" about a spike in conspiracy theories and threats to state capitals, vote count locations, and the individuals who oversee them.Anticipating such unrest after the election, businesses in Portland and other cities have begun boarding up their windows."Violence tends to happen to target the process and to contest results," Brown said. "We know the dates that are relevant in the process and are able to anticipate where that might happen, but in a close election, we could see the use of violence or intimidation to attempt to sway how the results are processed."<h2 id="39042411-d542-4c03-b120-8bb15025a411">How great is the risk?</h2>Verisk, a data analytics and risk management company, ranked the United States among the five most high-risk countries for civil unrest, which could also lead to extensive insured losses, in the next year. Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and South Africa rounded out the list, with France, Greece, and Spain the riskiest in Europe.Verisk wrote in an October analysis that election-related violence is rare in the United States and that the January 6 riot in 2021 was "a standout protest event in US history." The company said the peaceful 2022 midterm elections showed that the threat of civil violence remained comparatively low.Emotions run higher during presidential elections, however, and the company's Strikes Riots and Civil Commotion Predictive Model found that the tension and political polarization could reach a boiling point, sparking unrest in urban centers like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston."Not only is the underlying SRCC risk higher than in January 2021, the potential for flashpoints to ignite civil unrest is also greater," Torbjorn Soltvedt, principal analyst at Verisk Maplecroft, said in a press release.Robert Munks, Verisk's head of research for the Americas, said that risks may also rise following the election during the certification processes."Crucially, the risk of election-related unrest will rise substantially if the outcome of the election is tightly contested," Munks said, "particularly should Trump lose to Harris."

The US is bracing for civil unrest around the election. But just how high is the risk?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The 2024 election is already the most litigated in US history.</li><li>Republicans and Democrats have been involved in a bevy of pre-election lawsuits.</li></ul>With the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-long-will-it-take-to-call-us-presidential-election-2024-10">2024 US presidential election</a> just days away, the high-stakes race is already the most litigated in modern American history.For months, Republican allies of former President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-harris-presidency-impact-ai-artificial-intelligence-2024-10">Donald Trump</a> and Democratic allies of Vice President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-closing-argument-washington-dc-speech-policty-economy-trump-2024-10">Kamala Harris</a>, have been involved in a barrage of pre-election lawsuits, with Republicans waging the majority of the legal challenges in key battleground ground states. And while preelection litigation might not feel like a fundamental part of democratic presidential elections in the US, the 2024 cycle has proved it to be a keystone political strategy."Probably the most discouraging part of this whole litigation experiment is that it has little or no connection to democracy and credible elections," said John Hardin Young, an election law expert and senior counsel at the Washington, DC, law firm Sandler Reiff Lamb Rosenstein &amp; Birkenstock."It's gamesmanship," said Young, who said litigation has "become part of the political strategy.""It's, in a way, a prelude to postelection challenges where the political message has been mangled together with the litigation," he added.Legal experts told Business Insider some of the lawsuits brought by Republicans could set the stage for potential court challenges after the election on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/election-impact-companies-trump-harris-2024-10">November 5.</a>But it all really depends on how close the election between Trump and Harris is, the experts said. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harris-trump-presidential-election-swing-state-polls-sun-belt-2024-10">National polls</a> suggest the race for the White House will be a tight one.The Republican National Committee said that the party's "election integrity" operation, announced earlier this year with the Trump campaign, has been involved in 130 lawsuits across 26 states this election cycle.Many of the lawsuits center on the handling of mail-in voting, overseas ballots, and voter rolls. Democrats have intervened in a slew of them.When the RNC announced the "election integrity" program back in April, it said it would deploy more than 100,000 volunteers and attorneys across all battleground states."This gives voters confidence that their ballot will be counted properly, and in turn, inspires voter turnout," RNC spokeswoman Claire Zunk told BI in a statement. "While Democrats continue to interfere in our election and dismantle election safeguards, we are protecting the vote for all Americans."The Trump campaign declined to comment for this story, referring BI to Zunk's statement. Harris' campaign referred BI to a previous interview with a campaign spokesperson discussing litigation strategy.<h2 id="4aadeff5-56ea-4983-849f-48a2f25372bd">Harris campaign memo says the Republican lawsuits aim to 'sow doubt'</h2>Operatives for the Harris campaign said in a recent memo to "interested parties" that Republicans' lawsuits are "part of an effort to sow doubt" in the results of the 2024 election."Trump Republicans believe they have a better chance of winning when fewer people vote and fewer votes are counted. That's why they are spreading misinformation and filing dozens of baseless lawsuits in an obvious attempt to suppress voter turnout," the October 11 memo obtained by Business Insider says.The memo was written by Dana Remus, President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-dropping-out-presidential-race-2024-7">Joe Biden's</a> former White House counsel who is now leading the Harris campaign's legal team, and Monica Guardiola, the Democratic National Committee's acting co-executive director.It says that Democrats are "prepared and enter this final stretch with a playbook to protect the integrity of our elections — before and after November 5."Democrats, they say, have already intervened in "dozens of baseless Republican lawsuits to debunk their lies and defeat them in court."The DNC, together with the Harris campaign, have scored 15 court wins over the last three weeks, largely after intervening in lawsuits brought by Republicans, the campaign told BI.The memo says the upcoming election is already the "most litigated in American history," but that the campaign is the most prepared.The 2020 general election previously held the record as the most litigious in modern history.In the two-month period between November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021, plaintiffs filed 82 lawsuits in 10 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Post-Election Litigation Analysis by the Stanford-MIT Healthy Election Project.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_interest/election_law/litigation/">The American Bar Association</a> logs less than 40 preelection lawsuits having been filed before Election Day 2020.As of November 1, there were a record 203 voting and election cases pending in 40 states, with 25 lawsuits alone filed in the battleground state of Georgia, Democratic election attorney Marc Elias, who is also part of the Harris campaign's legal team, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/marceelias/status/1852343593744150952">said</a> on X.And more are expected.<div type="image" title="Trump addressing the RNC on Thursday." height="1500" width="2400" msid="114947214" hostid="261" sizebytes="223364"></div><h2 id="909afd83-4da5-414d-b8dd-21382fdaf7bc">Republican legal strategy is more organized than 2020</h2>In recent weeks, Republicans have faced a series of court losses but have also had some success.A federal judge in the swing state of Pennsylvania this week <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-military-overseas-ballots-1cb8e5b1b4e564482125e1633642c06b">dismissed</a> a lawsuit brought by a group of Republican congressmen that sought new verification requirements involving overseas and military ballots.

The ACLU is involved in dozens of election-related lawsuits."In 2020, it felt slapdash and very reactive and improvisational," Lakin said, adding that now Republicans' efforts seem to be more strategic with the laying of "narrative groundwork.""There is definitely a fair number of lawsuits that really do seem to have served no purpose other than a narrative purpose" to potentially be leveraged in the event that the election results are not favored by Republicans, said Lakin.To tighten and not repeatpart about setting groun rules, maybe we cut graf above and below and add this transition graf below:Jason Torchinsky, a partner at the law firm Holtzman Vogel and a Republican election lawyer, told BI filing lawsuits before the election is an effective strategy.there's no doubt there has been an "unprecedented level of preelection litigation" this cycle, "but all of that litigation is aimed at setting the ground rules whether you're coming at it from the right or the left.""Preelection litigation to set ground rules is often much more successful than postelection litigation," Torchinsky said, explaining, "The courts are very, very reluctant to look like they are determining the outcomes of elections."<h2 id="240a3465-ceb0-4039-86a1-45b348592c02">A possible 'period of uncertainty' after the election</h2>During a Zoom panel discussion this week, Elias warned there may be a "period of uncertainty" after Election Day."But honestly, there have been periods of uncertainty after the elections for many years. It's just people get more anxious about them now," he said."So I think if people vote, they should have confidence that the process will almost certainly sort itself out OK," he said.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A judge has granted a preliminary injunction to halt the merger between Tapestry and Capri Holdings.</li><li>The two companies planned to have multiple luxury brands — including Versace — operating under one umbrella.</li></ul>Versace's parent company, Capri Holdings, suffered a steep loss in after-hours trading on Thursday after a federal judge blocked its proposed merger with Tapestry, the parent of fashion brands Kate Spade and Coach.Jennifer Rochon, a judge in the Southern District of New York, granted the Federal Trade Commission's request for a preliminary injunction to halt the merger of the two companies while the commission investigates the deal.Rochon wrote that the FTC argued in its case that the merger would "substantially lessen competition in the market for accessible-luxury handbags."Rochon ruled in favor of the FTC's stance, writing in her ruling that the "merging parties are close competitors, such that the merger would result in the loss of head-to-head competition.""The Court thus finds that there is persuasive additional evidence of unilateral effects of the merger causing anticompetitive harm," Rochon wrote.Following the court order, Capri's stock was down 45% in after-hours trading on Thursday. The company's stock is down 18% year-to-date.Tapestry's stock, however, surged about 12% in after-hours trading.In response to the judge's ruling, Capri released a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.capriholdings.com/news-releases/news-releases-details/2024/CORRECTING-and-REPLACING-Capri-Holdings-Intends-to-File-Notice-of-Appeal/default.aspx">statement</a> saying that it — along with Tapestry — intends to file a notice of appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.Tapestry announced in August 2023 that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tapestry-coach-owner-acquires-capri-holdings-versace-michael-kors-2023-8">it would buy Capri for $8.5 billion.</a> Under the proposed merger, six high-end fashion brands would operate under one umbrella: Capri's Versace, Jimmy Choo, and Michael Kors, along with Tapestry's Coach, Stuart Weitzman, and Kate Spade. However, in April, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tapestry-coach-owner-acquires-capri-holdings-versace-michael-kors-2023-8">the FTC </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ftc-sues-tapestry-capri-coach-michael-kors-kate-spade-2024-4">announced a lawsuit</a> to block the merger. The FTC wrote in an April 22 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04/ftc-moves-block-tapestrys-acquisition-capri">press release</a> that it believed this business move would give Tapestry "a dominant share of the 'accessible luxury' handbag market" and "eliminate fierce competition between the two companies.""The proposed merger threatens to deprive millions of American consumers of the benefits of Tapestry and Capri's head-to-head competition, which includes competition on price, discounts and promotions, innovation, design, marketing, and advertising," read the FTC's April 22 statement.The FTC added that the deal would impact the companies' incentives "to compete for employees and could negatively affect employees' wages and workplace benefits."Tapestry and Capri said in an April 22 statement responding to the FTC lawsuit that their companies "face competitive pressures from both lower- and higher-priced products.""In bringing this case, the FTC has chosen to ignore the reality of today's dynamic and expanding $200 billion global luxury industry," Tapestry said in its <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240422792070/en/">statement</a>.The trade commission celebrated the Thursday ruling."Today's decision is a victory not only for the FTC, but also for consumers across the country seeking access to quality handbags at affordable prices," Henry Liu, director of the agency's Bureau of Competition, said in a statement to The New York Times.Representatives of the FTC, Capri Holdings, and Tapestry didn't respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside business hours.

The suit has been filed against various entities using his name, photographs, voice and word "<keyword id="19960424" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhidu" source="keywords">Bhidu</keyword>" without his consent. Through this suit, actor Jackie Shroff seeks direction to protect the Plaintiff's name, voice, image, likeness, and all other elements of the Plaintiff's persona which are distinctive and the unauthorized use by third parties is likely to create confusion and deception amongst the public. The bench of Justice Sanjeev Narula on Tuesday issued a summons on the actor's suit and said it will consider the case tomorrow on the interim injunction application. The actor seeks a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from infringing the Plaintiff's personality rights and publicity rights by the use of the Plaintiff's name 'Jackie Shroff", "Jackie', '<keyword id="21052256" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jaggu-dada" source="keywords">Jaggu Dada</keyword>', 'Bhidu' voice, image and any other attribute which is exclusively identifiable with him for any commercial or personal gain. The plea asks the court to pass a decree of permanent injunction restraining Defendant Bhidu Shawarma restaurant and its associates, servants, agents, affiliates, holding companies, and representatives, from infringing the Plaintiff's registered trademark by using the same as part of its trade name 'Bhidu Shawarma &amp; Restaurant' or any other trade name/trade mark which is deceptively similar to the Plaintiff's registered trademark numbers. The suit also pertains to the violation of the Plaintiff's moral rights in his performances conferred upon him by virtue of section 38B of the <keyword id="21653033" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="copyright-act" source="keywords">Copyright Act</keyword>, 1957. The Plaintiff, as an actor has acted in many cinematographic films and thus enjoys moral rights in his performances in such films and is entitled to restrain any third party from distorting, mutilating or making other modifications to his performance that are prejudicial to his reputation. In the context of the claims in the present proceedings, the Defendants are extracting clips of movies or other cinematographic works which contain performances of the Plaintiff, for the purpose of creation, communication of graphic/ interchange formats (GIFs), etc. The suit states that Plaintiff has not been informed prior to the creation and dissemination of such GIFs, nor has his consent been sought or secured. The Defendants, by reproducing clips containing the Plaintiff's performance, and that too in a manner which brings disrepute to the Plaintiff and makes him the subject of unsavoury humour, are violating his moral rights in his performances. The misappropriation of any attribute of the Plaintiff's persona without his express permission for a commercial purpose is liable to be restrained not only on the basis of the traditional conception of publicity rights namely the exclusive right to commercially exploit one's persona but also on the basis of the tort of dilution, more particularly tarnishment. Recently, the Delhi High Court also restrained the unauthorised use of actor Anil Kapoor's personality or name for commercial purposes. In the year 2022, Amitabh Bachchan had also moved the Delhi HC against the illegal use of his voice and image. (ANI)

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Joe Biden may propose term limits and an ethics code for the Supreme Court, The Washington Post reported.</li><li>The plan would need congressional approval, and Biden is turning to his allies for help.</li></ul>President Joe Biden may be preparing to take on the conservative-majority Supreme Court head-on, according to a new report by The Washington Post.Biden is planning to announce a proposal to establish term limits and an enforceable <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-signs-code-of-conduct-lacking-an-enforcement-mechanism-2023-11">ethics code</a> on the high court, the outlet reported, citing people briefed on the plan. Specific details of the proposal — or when it might be officially announced — were not immediately available.The Supreme Court has an existing code of conduct, rolled out last November, which outlines when a sitting Justice should recuse themselves from a case and when outside activities may create the appearance of a conflict of interest. However, unlike the code that binds lower court justices, the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-ethics-rules-missing-word-should-shall-2023-11">Supreme Court's ethics code</a> lacks any enforcement mechanism. It requires sitting Justices to regulate themselves, with critics regarding the measures as toothless against the court's lifetime appointees.Most changes to the Supreme Court would require congressional approval to enact, so Biden is turning to his allies in the House and Senate for help, the Post reported."I'm going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I'm about to come out — I don't want to prematurely announce it — but I'm about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court," the Post reported Biden said, according to a transcript of a Saturday call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "I've been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help."Representatives for the Biden administration and Supreme Court did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.The proposals would appear to be an attempt to restrain the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-rulings-executive-power-grab-strengthen-judiciary-2024-7">Supreme Court's expanding power</a> and balance the polarized conservative court without adding new Justices to the bench.Biden has rejected calls to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-biden-does-not-want-to-expand-supreme-court-2022-6">expand the Supreme Court</a> for years, despite arguments to do so amid ongoing ethics concerns facing the Court.Justice Clarence Thomas has been the subject of intense scrutiny following reports that he accepted lavish gifts and vacations from Republican megadonor <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trips-justice-clarence-thomas-took-with-harlan-crow-2024-6">Harlan Crow</a>.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alito-disqualified-over-flag-incidents-in-lower-court-expert-says-2024-5">Justice Samuel Alito</a> has also been sharply criticized after it was discovered that a Revolutionary-era "Appeal to Heaven" flag, regarded as a pro-Trump symbol, was flying for weeks over his New Jersey vacation home last summer.Two Democratic Senators earlier this month called for a special counsel to investigate Thomas over allegations of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/senators-request-doj-special-counsel-investigate-clarence-thomas-taxes-ethics-2024-7">tax fraud</a> and failure to disclose gifts from Crow he had been given.Democratic Rep.

Law firms' body deprecates attempts to undermine integrity of SC judges

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri blocked student-loan forgiveness and cheaper payments through the SAVE plan.</li><li>A range of SAVE provisions set to go into effect July 1 are now halted.</li></ul>President Joe Biden's new student-loan repayment plan just got dealt two blows by federal courts.On Monday, judges in Kansas and Missouri district courts handed down their rulings on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-states-lawsuit-block-save-student-loan-income-driven-repayment-2024-4">two separate lawsuits</a> filed by GOP state attorneys general seeking to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/student-loan-forgiveness-blocked-save-plan-lawsuit-gop-attorneys-general-2024-3">block the SAVE income-driven repayment plan</a>, introduced last summer to lower borrowers' monthly payments.Earlier this year, the Education Department started <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/student-loan-forgiveness-debt-cancellation-save-income-driven-payment-plan-2024-2">implementing a SAVE provision ahead of schedule</a> that canceled student debt for borrowers with original balances of $12,000 or less who made as few as 10 years of qualifying payments. The attorneys general argued that relief was unconstitutional, among other things, and requested that the relief — and the plan overall — be blocked.The <a target="_blank" href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.moed.211135/gov.uscourts.moed.211135.35.0.pdf">Missouri court</a> ruled on one of the lawsuits led by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey that the Education Department can no longer carry out student-loan forgiveness via SAVE as the legal process continues. The ruling still preserves borrowers' abilities to enroll and make payments through the plan."These borrowers have already made payments under the program, have already had those payments calculated under the early implementation of certain provisions of the Final Rule, and some borrowers anticipate imminent forgiveness," the ruling says. "These borrowers and the public have an interest in ensuring consistency in loan repayment programs, and any preliminary injunction would harm their expectations of such consistency."The Department of Education didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.The <a target="_blank" href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ksd.151881/gov.uscourts.ksd.151881.76.0.pdf">Kansas court</a> meanwhile ruled that it would preserve actions the Education Department had already implemented through the SAVE plan but that it would halt the new provisions set to go into effect on July 1, including cutting payments for undergraduate borrowers in half.Kansas' ruling is set to go into effect on June 30.Both of the rulings are preliminary, and while student-loan forgiveness is blocked for the time being, courts have yet to hand down their final rulings.Mike Pierce, the executive director of the advocacy group Student Borrower Protection Center, said in a statement that "millions of borrowers are now in limbo as they struggle to make sense of their rights under the law and the information being provided by the government and their student loan companies.""Are borrowers' bills accurate? Are interest charges correct? Will the amount due today be the same due tomorrow? Will borrowers' promised cancellation still receive critical relief? These basic, essential questions have no answers," he said.Judge Daniel Crabtree, who delivered the Kansas ruling, was previously skeptical of the GOP attorneys general's case and ruled on June 7 that just <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/student-loan-borrowers-gop-block-save-plan-standing-just-barely-2024-6">three of the original eleven states had standing to challenge the plan</a>.Still, these two rulings are setbacks for borrowers who were hoping to benefit from the SAVE plan that the Education Department has been touting for the past year. While the department continues to carry out separate relief for borrowers through one-time account adjustments, its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-announces-new-student-loan-forgiveness-plan-who-qualifies-relief-2024-4">broader plan for debt cancellation</a> — expected to benefit more than 30 million borrowers — is highly likely to encounter legal challenges this fall as well.Kansas and Missouri's attorneys general celebrated the rulings. Kansas Attorney General <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/KSAGOffice/status/1805357027243303093">Kris Kobach wrote on X</a>: "Kansas's victory today is a victory for the entire country. As the court correctly held, whether to forgive billions of dollars of student debt is a major question that only Congress can answer. Biden's administration is attempting to usurp Congress's authority."
