SC had observed it would form a committee leading to formation of standards for electronic media. It had also said that one "cannot say that Muslims are infiltrating the civil services." The channel was injuncted from airing any more episodes till further orders.
Centre in its reply has informed SC that it should first regulate digital media as it has a wider reach. Next ir contends that SC should not lay down standards without an amicus or committee of amicus since its one show or a few episodes.
@MIB_India
News Broadcasters Association, on the other hand says their regulations are referred to by various HCs and that they have rules and an authority in place to recieve complaints against electronic media, impose cost on them or even refer them to @MIB_India for license revocation
.@SureshChavhanke @SudarshanNewsTV has informed SC that UPSC Jihad was used as a terminology in the show owing to the foreign funding pooled in by the Zakat Foundation and how "infiltration was happening in the UPSC"

Supreme Court to hear petitions seeking the registration of FIR into instances of alleged communal speeches attributed to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and a social media post, since deleted, depicting him discharging a firearm toward an animated image of two Muslim men @himantabiswa #SupremeCourtImage
SG Tushar Mehta: There is a factual development

Passover sought as Sr Adv AM Singhvi is in another court

Matter to be taken up shortly

CJI: call him
CJI: why have you not gone to the HC unless HC also has become a ground for political battle.

Singhvi: this affects the fundamental rights under Article 14,15 and 21. If this case cannot come here then this court has to determine what is the contour of article 32. We are seeking a SIT and what SIT in Assam can do against Boss of Assam. There is a list of 17 cases before you where have ordered this in much weaker.

CJI: We will ask political parties to use restraint and be within the boundaries of constitutional morality. But this is becoming a trend just before the elections.

Singhvi: he is a habitual and repeated offender. This would be the ideal case for SC to exercise it's article 32 power. There are examples of Bilkis Rasool , Vinod Dua etc.

CJI: yes we will make sure that and we are under an obligation to create the infrastructure for the same.
Adv Kalita: 76 years has passed and we still do not have a woman present of the Supreme Court Bar

Another woman lawyer: no no that cannot be. It has to be on merit.

CJI: environment created should not look like one is completely dependant for the post. Everytime one cannot depend on reservation
