Bengaluru, Dec 22: The high court set a December 25 deadline for the police to decide whether Bollywood actor Sunny Leone could perform in the city on December 31.

On Thursday, Justice B Veerappa was hearing a petition filed by Bhavya H S , proprietor of Time Creations, organisers of a New Year's Eve show featuring Sunny and other artistes.

Bhavya had approached the court seeking permission to host Sunny Night, a dance-and-music event, at White Orchid Convention Centre, Manyata Tech Park.

The show has run into rough weather, with Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy refusing permission for it.

Senior policemen told DH they had enough and more on their hands on New Year's Eve, and were in no position to control any crowd that might gather for a glimpse of the former porn star.

On Thursday, the police told the court they had sought clarifications from the organisers. They promised to consider the application after the clarifications were received.

The petitioner's counsel said the clarifications would be provided within a day.

He told the court the police had granted permission for 50 similar events across the city, but denied permission for the Sunny Leone show.

A letter seeking permission had been given to the police on December 1 but had not been considered till now, he said.

The judge wanted to know why the police were discriminating against one person while granting permission to others.

He sought a list of clubs granted permission. "You can't discriminate against one person," he told the police.

The judge dismissed the petition but said Time Creations could approach the court again if the police rejected permission for the show.

New Delhi, Mar 15: The new rules for debit and credit cards to increase security and reduce frauds kick in from Monday. In January, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued new rules to improve user convenience and increase the security of card transactions. These rules will help in curbing the misuse of debit and credit cards.

RBI has directed banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card. For international transactions, online transactions, card-not-present transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card.

These rules will be applicable for new cards from March 16. Those with old cards can decide whether to disable any of these features.

As per the existing rules, these services used to come automatically with the card, but now it will start at the request of the customer.

Debit or credit card customers who have not yet done any online transaction, contactless transaction or international transaction with the card, then these services on the card will automatically stop from March 16.

The Reserve Bank has asked all banks to provide mobile banking, net banking option to enable limit and enable and disable service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If the customer makes any change in the status of the card, the bank will alert the customer through SMS/email and send the information.

Issuers shall provide to all cardholders facility to switch on/off and set/modify transaction limits (within the overall card limit, if any, set by the issuer) for all types of transactions -- domestic and international, at PoS/ATMs/online transactions/contactless transactions, etc.,

The provisions, however, are not mandatory for prepaid gift cards and those used at mass transit systems.

The latest instructions come in the wake of rising instances of cyber frauds and the huge increase in the use of cards.

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.
