Shah Rukh Khan secured a major win as the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) ruled in his favor, overturning the reassessment proceedings and order initiated by the tax authorities for the 2011-12 financial year. Against an income of Rs 83.42 crore declared by the actor in his income-tax (I-T) return, the tax officer denied his claims for foreign tax credit (for taxes paid in the UK) and reassessed the income as Rs 84.17 crore. Such reassessment was done beyond four years from the end of the relevant assessment year (2012-13). The ITAT bench held that reassessment of the case by the income-tax department was not legally justified, marking a crucial win for the actor in his prolonged battle over foreign tax credit claims.

Kejriwal's claim that the Yamuna gets «poisoned» in Haryana was inaccurate. In reality, the river remains relatively healthy as it enters Delhi from Haryana. It is within Delhi that the river suffers, with drains dumping waste into it, depleting its vitality. What Kejriwal could have highlighted is the significant reduction in Yamuna's flow by the time it reaches Delhi, which strains the river and makes it more susceptible to pollution. However, politics has helped bring attention to the long-neglected Yamuna, which has been burdened with pollution for decades, depriving Delhi of the ecological and aesthetic benefits of a riverfront.
