Shah Rukh Khan Prevails in Tax Case Tribunal Decision

Actor Shah Rukh Khan has won a significant legal battle against the Income Tax authorities, following a ruling from the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) regarding his 2011 film, RA One. The dispute centered on Khan's declared income of Rs 83.42 crore for the financial year 2011-2012, which the IT department contested by rejecting his claims for foreign tax credits related to taxes paid in the UK. The department subsequently calculated his tax liability at Rs 84.17 crore, over four years later. However, the ITAT determined that the reassessment was not legally justified, stating that the assessing officer failed to provide new evidence to warrant a reassessment beyond the statutory four-year period. The tribunal noted that the matter had already been examined during initial scrutiny, rendering the reassessment proceedings legally flawed. Khan's agreement with Red Chillies Entertainment stipulated that 70% of the film's shooting occurred in the UK, making a corresponding percentage of his income subject to UK taxes. sources

Tejashwi Yadav's Bold Response to Nitish Kumar's Poll Offer

As political tensions rise in Bihar ahead of the state elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has firmly dismissed speculation that his party is attempting to lure Chief Minister Nitish Kumar back into the Opposition fold. During a press conference, Yadav refuted claims of outreach, stating, "There is no offer, don't talk nonsense," and emphasized that only he and Lalu Yadav are authorized to make political offers. This speculation is fueled by Kumar's history of shifting alliances, having previously partnered with RJD for a successful campaign in 2015 before aligning with the BJP in subsequent elections. Recent exchanges between the two leaders have been heated, with Kumar asserting that he supported Lalu Yadav's rise to Chief Minister, while Yadav countered that it was RJD's backing that facilitated Kumar's political successes. The ongoing rivalry reflects the complex political landscape as both parties prepare for a significant electoral battle. sources

Massive Black Holes Merge and Propel Through Cosmos

A groundbreaking observation has revealed a rare merger of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), resulting in one black hole being ejected from its galaxy, 3C 186, at speeds exceeding 1,000 kilometers per second. Researchers led by Marco Chiaberge from Johns Hopkins University found that the galaxy's quasar was misaligned, indicating the SMBH had moved approximately 33,000 light-years from its center, likely due to a galactic merger. Utilizing the Very Large Telescope in Chile and the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, the team detected blueshifted light from the black hole's accretion disk, signifying its rapid approach towards Earth. They propose that the collision of two galaxies merged their central black holes, creating gravitational waves that propelled the new black hole in the opposite direction. While the evidence for this recoil kick is compelling, experts caution that further modeling is necessary to validate the merger hypothesis, as active galactic nuclei can exhibit complex motion. sources
