M&Co. View: – This ruling aligns with the global trend of expanding the scope of arbitral matters and marks a significant shift in India’s arbitral ecosystem. Traditionally, such disputes were considered outside the purview of arbitration.

CRIMINAL LAW
Ministry of Home Affairs Issues Advisory on Prison Reforms
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stressed the need to modernize prison administration and enhance inmate care in a comprehensive advisory sent to all States and Union Territories in November 2024. There are 1412 jails in the country, and it is crowded with more than 100% of its capacity. The overcrowding affects the prisoners and their resources. Primarily it involves the difference between the class of prisoners. For a fact, till 2016 December, 4.33 lakh prisoners were against the capacity of 3.81 lakhs. Inhumane psychological, physical suffering, and violent clashes are sometimes imposed on prisoners. According to the National Human Rights Commission, custodial violence is the “worst form of excesses by public servants entrusted with the duty of law enforcement.” In 2018, there were already 6,623 people in prison with mental illnesses. The guide offers recommendations to boost security protocols, guaranteeing the humane treatment of inmates, and tackling jail congestion. The government’s efforts to enhance the criminal justice system and establish a more rehabilitative jail environment are in line with this growth. The Supreme Court had scheduled a compliance hearing on 22nd October. The S.C has also ordered super-intendent’s of jails to submit report of under-trial prisoners who shall be entitled to extension of the benefit of section 479 of the BNSS. Read more
M&Co. View: – The recent policy under Section 479 of the BNSS prioritizes reducing overcrowding in prisons by releasing undertrial prisoners based on detention duration. However, this approach raises concerns about public safety. A short detention may not ensure adequate rehabilitation, increasing the risk of recidivism and potentially jeopardizing societal security. Public safety must remain a primary focus alongside judicial reforms.
Government of India Strengthens Measures Against Cybercrime: New Guidelines Issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) unveiled new regulations in December 2024 to combat the growing menace of cybercrimes in India. The nation’s response to cybercrimes, including as hacking, online fraud, identity theft, and data breaches, is being strengthened in part by these rules. The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) updated the court on the portal’s progress. ACP Jitender Singh stated that the first phase, focusing on addressing unlawful content, is nearly operational. Officers from all states and union territories are expected to be onboarded within a month. However, the court noted that full integration is far from complete, as major platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn have not yet joined. Also Karnataka is set to become the first state in India to have a DGP-rank police officer to oversee cybercrime investigations. Since Bengaluru residents have lost a whopping Rs 1,242.7 crore to cybercrimes in the first eight months of this year. This is Rs 214.6 crore more than what had been lost in the last three years combined.

Market Update: India’s Benchmark Indexes Experience Modest Decline on December 31, 2024
On December 31, 2024, India’s benchmark indexes, the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex, experienced slight declines, closing at 23,522.9 and 77,761.62 points, respectively. The downturn was primarily driven by a 2.2% drop in information technology (IT) stocks, which accounted for four of the top five losers on the Nifty 50. This sectoral weakness was influenced by elevated U.S. Treasury yields, making emerging markets like India less attractive to foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Over the past ten sessions, FIIs have sold shares worth approximately $2.8 billion. Additionally, small-cap and mid-cap stocks declined by about 0.5%, reflecting broader market concerns. In individual stock movements, Adani Wilmar’s shares fell by 7.1% following the announcement of the Adani group’s exit from a consumer goods joint venture with Singapore’s Wilmar. Conversely, Rail Vikas Nigam gained 3% after securing a bid for a Central Railway project. Overall, the market sentiment was subdued, mirroring the cautious outlook in other Asian markets. Read more

BPCL Adapts to Challenges in Russian Oil Supply, Focuses on Diversification and Expansion
Indian state refiner Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) is facing challenges in securing its usual supply of Russian crude oil from the spot market, with shortages of 2-3 cargoes per month. Russian oil, accounting for 35-37% of BPCL’s crude processing at its three refineries, has been pivotal due to its discounted prices. However, reduced Russian exports, increased domestic demand, and new supply contracts—such as Rosneft’s deal with Reliance—are tightening availability. To mitigate these challenges, BPCL is turning to alternative sources like Omani and Argentinian crude and plans to explore West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Middle Eastern oils if shortages persist. The company has secured a new annual deal with Qatar for 10,000 barrels per day (bpd) starting FY 2025/26, maintaining 53% of its crude supply through term deals. Read More
M&Co. View: – BPCL’s proactive approach to diversifying its crude oil sources is commendable, especially given the volatility in global oil markets. The strategic focus on alternative suppliers and long-term deals shows resilience, but the challenges highlight India’s need to further strengthen its energy independence through renewable sources.

TAX
GST Council Hikes Tax on Used EVs to 18%, Clarifies Applicability Only to Dealer Margins
The GST Council’s recent decision to increase the GST on used electric vehicles (EVs) from 12% to 18% has confused, and clarified to apply only to the profit margin of resale transactions by businesses, not private sellers. For instance, if a dealer buys an EV for ₹9 lakh and resells it for ₹10 lakh, the 18% tax applies solely to the ₹1 lakh profit. Individual transactions remain exempt, addressing initial misunderstandings. This change aligns EV taxation with petrol and diesel vehicles while maintaining a 5% GST for new EVs to promote adoption. Concerns have emerged about its potential impact on the second-hand EV market, as higher dealer margins may deter buyers. Separately, the Council recommended GST exemptions for contributions to the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund and retained aviation turbine fuel outside the GST regime, preserving existing tax structures. Read More
M&Co. View: – The clarification that the 18% GST applies only to dealer margins is helpful, but the higher tax risks deter buyers in the second-hand EV market. Policymakers must balance revenue generation with incentivizing EV adoption to support India’s clean energy transition.
