Delhi HC to pronounce order on CPR plea for using 25% of its funds on Monday

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court will pronounce on Monday its order on the plea of the leading think tank Centre for Policy Research for utilising 25% of its funds in its fixed deposits for salaries months after its license under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act was suspended in February. The suspension came five months after the Income Tax department surveyed the premises of CPR, Oxfam India, and the Independent and Public Spirited Media Foundation, which funds digital media entities. ​​ The high court on Tuesday directed the Union government to decide by Wednesday the amount CPR could use from the 25% unutilized funds. The government told the court CPR’s foreign funding needed to be stopped as it was receiving its foreign contributions for “undesirable purposes” likely to affect the state’s economic interest.
