Supreme Court over the legality of driving-licence holders for light motor vehicles (LMVs) operating commercial vehicles without any additional endorsement has multiple stakeholders including drivers, fleet operators and cab aggregators worried, as a reversal of an older ruling could hurt them. A division bench of the top court in 2017 ruled that holders of LMV licences should be allowed to operate transport, or commercial vehicles, as long as the vehicles were up to 7,500 kg of unladen weight. In 2018, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways issued a notification complying with the court order. Insurance companies appealed against the order before a three-member bench, arguing that this put the safety of people at risk. The bench referred the matter to a five-judge constitution bench, which at a hearing on July 20 asked the ministry to submit its position on the matter.

Dunzo’s valuation is proving to be a roadblock in new financing for the troubled quick commerce startup.Reliance Retail, the largest investor with 26% stake in Dunzo, is averse to the idea of slashing the valuation of the startup by nearly 50% in a fresh funding deal being stitched together by a set of existing investors, according to people aware of negotiations. For the telecom-to-retail conglomerate, a steep cut will mean a significant value erosion of its $200-million investment made in Dunzo during a $240-million round in January 2022, they added. The now cash-strapped startup, which also counts Google as one of its investors, was then valued at close to $800 million. Dunzo’s frenetic efforts to raise further capital will now depend on all its investors agreeing to a reduced valuation, people cited said.‘Must Finalise Valuation’ The sharp downturn in the Bengaluru company’s consumer business, from its peak during the Reliance Retail investment last year, has triggered the ongoing decline in Dunzo’s valuation. “There is a soft commitment of multiples of tens of millions for Dunzo, but for these conversations to close, the valuation needs to be finalised, and with Reliance Retail’s cash, the total pool can be widened, which the firm needs on priority,” said one person aware of discussions. In recent weeks, Dunzo has reached out to multiple family offices — such as Premji Invest, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw of Biocon and others — in search of a new consortium of investors.

Archaeologists have discovered a small bedroom in a Roman villa near Pompeii that was almost certainly used by slaves, throwing light on their lowly status in the ancient world, the culture ministry said on Sunday. The room was found at the Civita Giuliana villa, some 600 metres (2,000 ft) north of the walls of Pompeii, which was wiped out by a volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. It contained two beds, only one of which had a mattress, two small cabinets and a series of urns and ceramic containers, in which the remains of two mice and a rat were found. «These details once again underline the conditions of precarity and poor hygiene in which the lower echelons of society lived during that time,» the culture ministry said in its statement.
