HC junks plea seeking CBI probe against Mukesh Ambani, RIL over ‘illegal’ gas extraction
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking a CBI probe against Reliance Industries Limited and its chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani for alleged unlawful extraction of natural gas from ONGC’s Krishna-Godavari basin fields.
A bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Suman Shyam refused relief to the petitioner Jitendra Maru who had sought registration of an FIR for the offences of theft, dishonesty, misappropriation and criminal breach of trust.
A copy of the order was not yet available.
As per Maru, RIL allegedly engaged in a “massive organized fraud” from 2004 to 2013 by drilling sideways from its contracted deep-sea wells into the adjacent Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) wells, thus illegally extracting natural gas.
The petition claimed that the ONGC had discovered this alleged unauthorised extraction in 2013 and had reported it to the Government of India.
Maru in his plea relied on an independent investigation conducted by consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton and also a report submitted by the retired Justice A P Shah Committee which had concluded that RIL had tapped into ONGC’s reserves. -

Veteran KBO pitcher driven to prove skeptics wrong
baseball-pitcher Veteran KBO pitcher driven to prove skeptics wrong By Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, March 26 (Yonhap) — Now entering his 20th season in professional baseball, Kia Tigers pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. He has won three Korean Series championships and both the regular-season and Korean Series MVP awards. On the other hand, his Tigers have also finished dead last in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) and missed their share of postseasons during Yang’s time. This year, pundits aren’t giving the Tigers much of a chance. They won the 2024 Korean Series title but then fell flat on their face in 2025 by finishing eighth among 10 teams. Then during the offseason, they lost a pair of All-Stars in shortstop Park Chan-ho and designated hitter Choi Hyoung-woo in free agency. By most measures, they are probably a worse team than a season ago. Yang, 38, wants to prove skeptics wrong. “I really don’t understand it,” Yang said of low expectations for his team, during a media scrum Thursday following the annual media day in Seoul. “Of course, we’ve lost two good players with Hyoung-woo and Chan-ho, but it hurts my pride to see us regarded as a weak team just because those two have left. I don’t know what the basis of such thinking is, and I think we should all try to show something different on the field this year rather than just talk tough.” Yang cited the example of his own team from last season to illustrate his point. The Tigers were virtually a consensus pick to repeat as the Korean Series champions, but they got off to a slow start amid mounting injuries and never recovered. “Just because we’re viewed as a bad team now, it doesn’t mean we will finish the season as one,” Yang added. “I know pundits make their predictions and they’re often wrong anyway.” In the twilight of his career, Yang said he has put aside all personal goals for the good of the team — even if it means he won’t be accumulating his career wins, innings and strikeout totals at the same rate as usual. Yang is already the KBO’s all-time leader with 2,185 strikeouts. He is second overall with 2,656 2/3 innings, as Song Jin-woo’s leading total of 3,003 remains in sight. Yang also trails Song in wins, 210 to 186. “Honestly, I have absolutely zero goals as far as my innings or win totals are concerned. My priorities have changed over the past year,” said Yang, who has thrown at least 150 innings in 11 straight seasons. “I know it sounds cliched, but I just want to help the team win. The team has to keep using good players to win and I want to be a part of that.” Yang dispelled the notion that he had been forcing his way into the starting rotation just so that he could continue to pad his stats. “I’ve never been that way. I’ve wanted only to pitch long innings to ease the burden on our bullpen,” Yang said. “It’s always been about the team.” Now in his late 30s, Yang said the way his body has been betraying him lately also forced him to adjust his goals. “I think I might have been overestimating myself at times. I now accept the fact that I don’t throw as hard as I once did and my mechanics maybe aren’t as sound as before,” Yang said. “So I think it will help the team more if I go out there and work really hard for just

Malaysia’s Leading Herbal Repair Cream Brand Jolicare Launches in Australia
, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For millions of Australians living with dry, itchy, and sensitive skin, the search for something that truly works is deeply personal. For many families, it is a challenge they navigate every single day. Jolicare, Malaysia’s leading herbal repair cream brand, is here for them. Not to offer temporary relief, but to deliver lasting repair. Today, Jolicare officially launches in Australia, marking the brand’s first expansion beyond Southeast Asia. Jolicare Cream and Jolicare Lotion are now available at jolicare.au, bringing herbal solutions trusted by over 100,000 customers to Australian families for the very first time. “We didn’t come to Australia to be just another option on the shelf. We came because we know what this product does for people, and Australians deserve access to it,” said Caleb Wong, CEO of Jolicare. Why Australia, Why Now Two years ago, before Jolicare had any presence in Australia, someone there found us. Just one person, looking for something that worked. It did not stay that way. Since then, orders from Australia have only grown, even without a physical presence in the market. As the brand expanded across Malaysia and Singapore, enquiries from Australian families kept coming, many of them parents searching for a herbal alternative they could trust on their children’s skin. “Our first customer from Australia came about two years ago. And the customers from Australia have only increased since, even without a physical presence there. So I think it’s about time.” Caleb said with a grin. “For a brand built on herbal, lasting repair for the whole family, Australia was not just an opportunity. It was a responsibility,” he added. From One Cream to a National Record Founded in 2021, Jolicare started with a simple belief: that people with dry, itchy, and sensitive skin deserve more than temporary relief. The early years were not glamorous. The team was small, the challenges were real, and there were moments where the brand’s survival was genuinely in question. But the product worked. And customers talked. In 2025, Jolicare was recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for the “Most Skin Repair Creams Sold in a Year”, a first in its category. Today, the brand has sold over 100,000 creams, earned more than 20,000 five-star reviews, and is stocked in over 1,000 retail stores nationwide, including Guardian and Watsons. “Jolicare was built with and for the people who needed it most. Every review they wrote, every friend they told, every pharmacy they walked into asking for us by name. That is what brought us here,” said Caleb. Made with Purpose, for the Whole Family At the heart of every Jolicare product is a straightforward belief: what goes on your skin, and your family’s, should never be a compromise. Jolicare Cream and Jolicare Lotion are formulated with 10+ Premium Herbs, and contain zero parabens and zero fragrances. Both are GMP-certified and independently lab-tested and verified by SGS and MyCO2. Gentle enough for young children, and designed from the ground up for lasting repair, not temporary relief. “Every ingredient in Jolicare is there for a reason. And everything that is not in it, the parabens, the fragrances, was left out for a reason too. We are not here to be the loudest brand. We are here to be the one that actually works,” said Caleb. Jolicare Cream — the brand’s flagship skin repair cream, formulated to deliver lasting repairs for dry, itchy, and sensitive skin. Trusted by families across Malaysia and Singapore, for everyone who needs it. Jolicare Lotion Jolicare – The Herbal Cream for Lasting Repair About Jolicare Jolicare is Malaysia’s

Architectural Governance at AI Speed
Key Takeaways The advent of GenAI has dramatically increased the pace at which code can be produced, making it difficult for traditional oversight patterns to keep pace. Waiting for human oversight puts organizations at a competitive disadvantage and slows innovation. When it is trivial for everyone to deliver code, maintaining architectural cohesion requires combining centralized decision-making with automated, decentralized governance. Teams can apply tools and techniques they already use to create machine-enforceable statements of architectural intent. Event Modeling, OpenAPI, Architectural Decision Records, and Spec Driven Development all produce content that can be enforced through automated or agentic means. Declarative architectural intent, combined with automated oversight, enables teams to move quickly and safely while aligning with architectural intent, without increasing cognitive load. This article was written by participants of the online InfoQ Certified Architect Program . It represents the capstone of their work, reflecting the cohort’s collective learnings on the intersection of AI and modern software architecture. Code is Now a Commodity, Alignment is Still Not GenAI has slashed the effort required to produce code, and rapid prototyping is increasingly common. As a result, the software development lifecycle is now constrained by an organization’s ability to bring ideas into alignment and maintain cohesion across the system. Fig. 1. From Eduardo Da Silva, used with permission Historically, organizations have relied on manual processes and human oversight to achieve architectural cohesion. Startups rely on key individuals to catch misalignment between architectural intent and implementation. Enterprise-level organizations attempt to maintain cohesion through change boards and proliferating ADRs and documentation. In both contexts, identifying misalignment is slow because it requires synchronous dependence on a central authority. In the startup case, development teams are stuck waiting for busy experts. In the enterprise case, they have to wait on review boards and sift through documented guidance with the hope that what they find has not become obsolete. GenAI exacerbates this by accelerating the production of work that’s subject to review. Where previously only developers were producing code over days or weeks, executives and product managers can now vibe-code functional prototypes in minutes or hours. As a result, development teams are left with an impossible choice: be beholden to the pace of manual oversight at the cost of velocity, or push forward without knowing whether they are aligned. Over time, these small pushes compound into architectural fragmentation, which the organization responds to with more process and stricter guidelines, which further increase the difficulty of releasing software in alignment. This is a vicious cycle that slows delivery and blunts innovation. Declarative Architecture, Decentralized Alignment Scaling alignment in the GenAI era requires that organizations move beyond manual oversight toward automated guardrails that enable teams to make safe decisions autonomously. To this end, we propose a strategy of declarative architecture to scale architectural governance. Declarative architecture is the practice of distilling architectural decisions and constraints into machine-enforceable declarations of intent that enable safe independent action. Each declaration governs a bounded scope: a clearly defined context within which it has authority. Without that boundary, declarations become the same sprawling guidance they were meant to replace. Declarative architecture is not about making better decisions. Instead, it focuses on making decisions impossible to ignore. Instead of tracking down and interpreting architectural documents or waiting on experts and review boards, a machine-readable declaration of intent makes the conformant path the path of least resistance. Validation of compliance stops being a function of awareness and memory, and is instead encoded into tools that meet developers where they already are: in their editors, their pipelines, their code review tools. Machine-readability is not a technical nicety in this

California Judge Signals Support for Anthropic in High-Stakes AI Regulation Dispute with Pentagon
AVANDATIMES.COM – A federal judge in California has suggested that the U.S. Department of Defense may be overstepping its authority by labeling AI developer Anthropic a ‘supply chain risk’ due to the company’s insistence on ethical guardrails for military technology. The designation, issued by the Trump administration, effectively bars the San Francisco-based firm from lucrative government contracts, a move the court indicated might be an intentional effort to stifle the company’s advocacy for artificial intelligence oversight. Judicial Skepticism Toward Defense Department Tactics During a hearing on Tuesday, District Judge Rita Lin of the Northern California district court expressed concern over the Pentagon’s motivations for blacklisting the AI firm. ‘It looks like an attempt to cripple Anthropic,’ Judge Lin remarked, signaling that the court may be leaning toward granting a preliminary injunction to freeze the supply chain risk designation. The legal battle centers on Anthropic’s policy requiring human oversight for any AI-driven weaponry and its refusal to permit its models for domestic mass surveillance. According to AvandaTimes monitoring, the Department of Defense argued in court filings on March 17 that such restrictions would undercut its ‘ability to control its own lawful operations’ regarding national security interests. ‘Their stated objectives are not completely backed by the Department of War,’ stated Charlie Bullock, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Law and AI. Analysts suggest this case marks a pivotal moment in determining whether private tech entities can dictate the ethical boundaries of state-sponsored AI applications. Industry-Wide Support for Ethical Guardrails The litigation has drawn unprecedented support from across the technology sector. Amicus briefs have been filed by industry giants like Microsoft, as well as individual engineers from competitors such as OpenAI and Google DeepMind. These experts argue that the lack of transparency in AI logic makes human intervention a necessity rather than an option. In their joint submission, the engineers described the case as being of ‘seismic importance for our industry,’ noting that AI models’ ‘chain of reasoning is often hidden from their operators, and their internal workings are opaque even to their developers. And the decisions they make in lethal contexts are irreversible.’ Technical Risks and the ‘Hallucination’ Factor Anthropic’s push for regulation is rooted in the technical limitations of current Large Language Models (LLMs). While the company’s Claude Gov models have previously been utilized in initiatives like Palantir’s Project Maven, the firm maintains that the risk of ‘hallucinations’—where AI generates false but convincing data—poses a catastrophic threat in combat scenarios. Mary Cummings, a professor at George Mason University, compared these risks to failures seen in autonomous vehicles. ‘We call this phantom braking and it is caused by hallucination,’ she explained, warning that ‘The incorporation of AI into weapons will face similar reliability issues as self-driving cars, including hallucinations.’ Geopolitical Stakes and Policy Gaps The dispute unfolds as the U.S. military increasingly integrates AI into active operations. AvandaTimes noted that the current conflict involving Iran has seen the first large-scale use of AI for target generation in combat. This rapid deployment has outpaced the creation of formal governance frameworks, creating what some experts call a national security vacuum. Brianna Rosen, executive director of the Oxford Programme for Cyber and Technology Policy, highlighted the urgency of the situation: ‘For the first time, the United States is using AI to generate targets in large-scale combat operations in Iran,’ she said. ‘And lawmakers are still debating whether to draw red lines on fully autonomous weapons. The absence of governance is itself a national security risk.’ Political Implications and the 2026 Midterms As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the debate over AI regulation has

Unpacking the Trends: Why Is Microsoft Dropping and What’s Next?
So, Microsoft’s stock has been taking a hit lately, and people are wondering why is Microsoft dropping. It’s not just one thing, really. It seems like a mix of big spending on AI, general worries about the economy, and maybe just a bit of a reality check after the huge AI hype. Let’s break down what’s going on and what it might mean for the future. Key Takeaways Investor concerns are growing over the massive amounts of money Microsoft is pouring into AI development and infrastructure, questioning the immediate return on these huge investments. A general ‘risk-off’ mood in the stock market, where investors are pulling back from higher-risk tech stocks, is also dragging down Microsoft’s shares. The tech industry is seeing a market reassessment of the AI boom, meaning investors are looking more closely at actual profits and sustainable growth rather than just future potential. Microsoft has recently undergone significant workforce adjustments, including layoffs, which are part of a broader trend of corporate restructuring driven by the need to manage costs and reallocate resources towards AI priorities. Despite short-term stock drops and market volatility, Microsoft’s core business strength, massive cloud infrastructure (Azure), and ongoing AI innovation suggest potential for long-term recovery and continued market relevance. Understanding Why Is Microsoft Dropping It feels like everyone’s talking about Microsoft’s stock lately, and not always in a good way. You’ve probably seen the headlines, and yeah, Microsoft shares have fallen over 25% since their peak last fall, with the decline accelerating in 2026 due to concerns about generative artificial intelligence. It’s a bit of a head-scratcher for a company that’s been around forever and seems to be everywhere, right? But there are a few big reasons why the market might be feeling a bit uneasy. Investor Apprehension Over AI Capital Expenditures So, artificial intelligence. It’s the shiny new thing, and everyone wants a piece of it. Microsoft is pouring a ton of money into AI development, especially with its cloud infrastructure like Azure. Think massive data centers, super-powerful chips, and all the research needed to stay ahead. This is great for the long game, but right now, investors are looking at the huge upfront costs. It’s like building a mansion – it costs a fortune before you even get to live in it. The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘When will this massive investment actually start paying off, and how much will it really bring in?’ The sheer scale of these AI capital expenditures is making some investors nervous about the immediate financial hit. Broader “Risk-Off” Sentiment in Technology It’s not just Microsoft, though. The whole tech sector has been a bit shaky. We’re seeing a general mood where investors are pulling back from riskier assets. After a period of rapid growth, there’s a natural tendency to become more cautious. Think of it like a party that’s been going on for a long time; eventually, people start to think about heading home. When this “risk-off” mood hits, companies that are seen as high-growth but also high-cost, like many in the AI space, can get hit harder. It’s a bit of a domino effect across the industry. Market Reassessment of the AI Boom Remember when AI first exploded onto the scene? It felt like a gold rush. Now, the market is taking a step back and really looking at what’s realistic. The initial hype was huge, and maybe expectations got a little out of hand. Now, there’s a bit of a reality check happening. Investors are trying to figure out which AI applications will actually make money and which are just cool ideas.
