Bombay HC asks Sr Adv Milind Sathe (for petitioner): Have you made any application (complaint) before News Broadcasting Standards Authority?

This is not a statutory body. They may not be amendable under Article 32. Please decide the larger issues in the case, Sathe urges Court
They should first approach the Press Council and other authorities. Let them look into the matter first: ASG Anil C Singh urges the Court.
On September 3, a coordinate Bench had asked the respondents to file their reply affidavits. It was also expected to exercise restraint in regard to reporting of investigation in a manner that could hamper or prejudice the ongoing investigation...: Court records

[Can visually impaired become judges ? ]

#SupremeCourt to shortly deliver judgment on this significant issue

The court to hand down verdict in the suo motu case concerning visually impaired in judicial services Image
The genesis of the case lies in the rules governing judicial appointments in Madhya Pradesh which contained discriminatory language that prevented blind individuals from becoming judges.

This exclusion was challenged after a mother, whose visually impaired child aspired to the judiciary, wrote to the court, leading to a court-initiated public interest litigation.

#SupremeCourt to shortly hear plea by Ranveer Allahabadia and Ashish Chanchlani in the case over remarks made in #indiasgotlatent show

Allahabadia and Chanchlani were protected from arrest in the last hearing

Dr Abhinav Chandrachud: We have moved an application. We are seeking lifting of one part of the order which refrained him from airing his shows etc. He has no sense of humour at all.. but he has 280 employees and it is his livelihood. It can be ordered that let no profane words be uttered.
SG: this is an isolated case. It is not vulgar but it is perverse. I saw the show also out of curiosity.. humour is one thing, vulgarity is one thing, and perversity is another level. Leave alone man and woman.. me and AG cannot see it together. The judges cannot see it together. Let him stay quiet for sometime .. Assam called him. He did not come.
