New Delhi, 18: In a shocking development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Union government on Monday told the Supreme Court that the United Kingdom has the right to keep 'Kohinoor' diamond.

The counsel for Modi government told the apex court that India should not claim 'Kohinoor' diamond as it was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away, a statement which left judges baffled.

The Solicitor General said that 'Kohinoor' was handed over by Maharaja Ranjit Singh to the East India Company. Therefore, as per Culture ministry, it was neither stolen nor forcibly taken away.

Subsequently, Chief Justice asked the Centre if it was for dismissal of a petition seeking the return of Kohinoor.

The court also warned Modi government that it would face problem in future in putting any legitimate claim on the diamond.

In reply, the Solicitor General said that this was the stand of Culture ministry,  which also had Ministry of External Affairs  in the loop.

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to file a detailed reply within six weeks on the Kohinoor Diamond issue.

Is Modi Govt taking care of indians or UK. Is he PM for UK or India. He has already sold India in the hands of foreign investers and now selling indian assets also which was inherited from old kings. May be Modi will sell Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, Vidhana soudha, Srirangapatna Mandir, Kollur Mandir to foreigners and make money for bjp and its supporters. shame on you bjp Govt. It will be better to kick out this Govt very soon otherwise we Indians will be completely sold out to foreigners. Beware of this looter's Govt.

If a slave gives a \gift\" to his master, there is always room for reinterpreting the idea behind the \"gift\". But if the new masters are not different from the old, how can this happen? This is the tragedy of India - and this is why we ought to see that the Cong, BJP, CPI etc are actually a continuation of the British colonial legacy. You can defeat them in some cricket matches, but when it comes to substantive issues, you concede the match even before it begins. This is the colonialism of the mind."

@Tolerant Indian: Disappointing. The Brits don't deserve our Kohinoor. But if was a gift, then we shouldn't be expecting it back. Blame our Maharaja of Punjab. Height of MASKA GIRI.

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.
