Family feud between Baba Kalyani, sister for Hikal stake escalates

The Baba faction shared a letter that the late N Vaghul, ex-head of ICICI, wrote to them on the disputes over the ownership of Hikal shares between Sugandha's husband Jai Hiremath and Surajmukhi Investment & Finance, an erstwhile subsidiary of Kalyani Steels.

Baba, the patriarch of the diversified Kalyani group led by its flagship Bharat Forge, and his sister Sugandha along with her husband Jai, are embroiled in a legal battle over the ownership of Hikal (matters are pending in the Bombay High Court and a civil court in Pune).

THE MAN WHO RESHAPED ELECTIONS

THE Election Commission's 75 years can appropriately be classified as the commission before T N Seshan and after Seshan. It is rarely that one individual singlehandedly influences the stature and credibility of an institution of national importance the way Seshan was able to do in the Election Commission.
