Mangaluru, Jan 7: Thousands of mourners on Sunday evening attended the funeral prayers of Ahmed Basheer, who breathed his last earlier today four days after he was attacked by a gang of trouble mongers in the city.

47-year-old Basheer was laid to rest at the burial ground located near the Muhiuddin Juma Masjid at Kuloor-Panjimogeru on the outskirts of the city after Magrib prayers.

On January 3, hours after Deepak Rao, a youth from Katipalla area in Mangaluru was hacked to death by a gang of four miscreants another gang had attacked Basheer at Kottara Chowki area in the city without any provocation.

The attack took place at around 9:30 p.m. when Basheer was returning his home at Akashabhava after closing his fast food outlet. A critically injured and unconscious Basheer was rushed to a hospital by two ambulance drivers. After four days of treatment, he breathed his last at 8:10 a.m. on Sunday.

Even though the family members wanted to conduct the last rites immediately after the post mortem, they had to wait till the arrival of victim’s second son Irfan from United Arab Emirates. Irfan had landed in Abu Dhbai just three months ago. He reached Mangaluru at around 6 p.m. Basheer’s elder son had returned from Middle East two days ago.

Meanwhile, the preparations for the funeral rites as per Islamic customs had commenced in the hospital itself. The body was given bath and covered in plain white cloths before transporting it in an ambulance to his hone at Akashabhavana at around 2 p.m. for public viewing.

The mortal remains were then taken to the mosque in a vehicle for mayyit namaz at around 4 p.m. Thousands of people thronged the mosque ground to see Basheer’s face for the last time. As soon as his second son reached the spot, the mayyit was taken to nearby graveyard and laid to rest amidst prayers.

Though they were not in a condition to speak, Basheer’s family members did not forget to appeal the people not to disrupt peace. They also urged the people to pray for the departed soul. “Nobody can give justice to my brother except the Almighty God. We request all the good people to pray for the departed soul. No one should lose patience and indulge in any wrong doing. Our anger towards the killers should not provoke us to cause any harm to our innocent brothers and sisters of other faiths,” said Basheer’s teary-eyed brother Abdul Hakeem Kuloor.

New Delhi Aug 6: In a new twist in the Vijay Mallya case, a certain document connected with the case in the Supreme Court has gone missing from the apex court files. 

A bench comprising Justices U.U. Lalit and Ashok Bhushan adjourned the hearing to August 20.

It was hearing the review plea filed by Mallya against a July 14, 2017 judgment wherein he was found guilty of contempt for not paying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks despite repeated directions, although he had transferred $40 million to his children.

The bench was looking for a reply on an intervention application, which it seemed has gone missing from the case papers.Parties involved in the case sought more time to file fresh copies.

On June 19, the Supreme Court sought explanation from its registry regarding Mallya's appeal against the May 2017 conviction in the contempt case for not repaying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks not listed for the last 3 years.

A bench comprising Justices Lalit and Bhushan had asked the Registry to furnish all the details including names of the officials who had dealt with the file concerning the Review Petition for last three years.

The bench said according to the record, placed before it, the review petition was not listed before the court for last three years. "Before we deal with the submissions raised in the Review Petition, we direct the Registry to explain why the Review Petition was not listed before the concerned Court for last three years," said the bench.In May 2017, the apex court held him guilty of contempt of court for transferring $40 million to his children, and ordered him to appear on July 10 to argue on the quantum of punishment.

The bench said let the explanation be furnished within two weeks. "The Review Petition shall, thereafter, be considered on merits," it added.In 2017, the apex court passed the order on a contempt petition against Mallya by a consortium of banks led by the SBI. 

The banks claimed Mallya transferred $40 million from Daigeo to his children's accounts, and did not use this money to clear his debt. Banks cited this as violation of judicial orders.
