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"

Bench: Justice MM Sundresh and Justice NK Singh Image

Supreme Court hears appeal against Allahabad HC order upholding appointment of professor Naima Khatoon as the vice-chancellor (VC) of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Image
Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: If this is the way Vice Chancellors are appointed, I shudder to think what will happen in future

CJI Gavai: Rather than prelude tell us your arguments.
Sibal: She will get only 6 votes if 2 votes are excluded. It is only because of VC vote in the executive committee and there was another. If you take these two out, then she is out

[WV Migrant Workers Welfare Board vs Union]

Adv Prashant Bhushan: Authorities are randomly picking up Bengali Muslims claiming them to be Bangladeshis and when it is verified it is seen they are Indians. Some were deported and then it was verified and then taken back.

Justice Kant: But they were owned by the state and state said they belong to the state.

Bhushan: Here Delhi police says documents are in Bangladeshi language. What is that? It is Bangla. So what ?

Justice Kant: suppose someone comes to Delhi... And has document in Bangla. Suppose now it has to be verified..

Bhushan: But how can they be detained. Let them verify.

#SupremeCourtImage
Justice Joymalya Bagchi: on migrant labours isn't there a system in place to check the place of origin of such workers and the verify the same

Justice Kant: a nodal agency is needed to coordinate between state of origin and the state where they are earning livelihood.

Bhushan: But what they are doing is detaining the persons when being verified.. this is panic among bengali Muslims

Justice Bagchi: this is a serious issue of mass migration. Here the workers are from eastern part coming to North and work. The nodal agency can coordinate .

Bhushan: some are even being tortured in such detention centres. Even foreigners act does not give authority for this even if someone is termed a foreigner.
Justice Kant: Issue notice

Bhushan: In the meantime please say that in case verifying
It is fine but no detention

Justice Kant: We cannot overlook ground realities...Suppose someone is Infiltrator and he enters illegally. How to deal with that situation. If you don't detain..the writing on the wall is that they will disappear. Yes some mechanism needs to be there. .. may be some card from place of origin and authorities from other state can accept the bona fide
