Rajasthan High Court rules that once confiscation proceedings under mining laws are initiated, vehicles cannot be released on supurdaginama. Interim custody is permitted only if no proceedings have commenced, ensuring authorities retain control over seized assets during legal action.

Bombay HC quashes termination orders issued by an Inspector under Clause 32(4) of the Maharashtra Private Security Guards Scheme, 2002, ruling that the power to impose major penalties like termination is exclusively vested in the Chairman. The decision reinforces statutory interpretation principles, protecting employees from unauthorized administrative actions.
