Court grants EOCO arrest warrant to arrest Manhyia South MP
The High Court in Accra has granted EOCO a warrant to arrest Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah over an ongoing investigation.
The Karnataka High Court has received assurances from the state government that no coercive actions will be taken against cinema theatre/multiplex operators as they challenge the constitutionality of the newly introduced 2% cess on movie tickets under the Karnataka Cine and Cultural Activists (Welfare) Act, 2024. The court, while recording the government's assurance, did not pass any interim orders, including staying the operation of the Act, which came into effect on September 30.
The petitions, filed by Multiplex Association of India, PVR INOX, and Vinayaka Chitramandira Theatre, challenge Sections 9(1), 9(2), and Section 11 of the Act, which mandate the deposit of the cess by the 10th of every month and the submission of required returns. The court has adjourned the hearing until October 26 and directed the government to file a written response to the petitions.
