Supreme Court hears appeal challenging the Madras High Court's decision to allow Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna to receive the Sangita Kalanidhi MS Subbulakshmi Award.

ASG Venkataraman: Award was
conferred and it was greatly publicised. He is a person who made misogynistic comment against her

#SupremeCourt

ASG: the single judge order is in effect. The music academy could not have given the award yersterday. Can an injunction be breached and a public act be committee? Court is not powerless.

ASG: the court can stay this award or till suit is pending the fourth respondent cannot use the name of the award at all

Sr Adv Gopal Sankarnarayanan: Fourth respondent is not represented here as of now.

#BREAKING: Supreme Court issues notice on plea challenging constitutional validity of provisions of Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986

Bench: Justice BR Gavai and Justice KV Viswanathan

#UPGangstersAct

Senior Adv R Basant (appears for Petitioner): Whether only on basis of one base case another case under the act can be registered by the police itself. Furthermore, police is complainant, prosecutor and adjudicator under provisions of the act. Please note. This is important

Sr Adv Basant: Also, under this Act, without even a case of FIR against a person, its entire property are allowed to be attached. This aspect came up in Dharmendra Kirthal (2013) 8 SCC 368 as well and the court had issued notice but later did not consider the issue.
