MK Stalin case: Supreme Court hears plea by AIADMK leader SA Duraiswamy challenging TN CM Stalin’s 2011 assembly election win from Kolathur constituency.

The plea alleges that Stalin and his party representatives indulged in corrupt practices, particularly by providing money and gifts to secure votes.

Bench: Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi.Image
Sr. Adv. DS Naidu, appearing for Duraiswamy refers to a prosecution witness statement:

Naidu: the witness is the editor of a magazine called “kumudam snehidi”.

Court: what’s the meaning of that?

Another counsel: kumudum means lotus. Snehidi means friend.

Naidu: a friend of lotus. May be figurative meaning.

Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal (for Stalin): most inappropriate definition.

Court bursts into laughter.
Naidu: kumudam was once India’s largest selling family magazine. It’s basically a women’s magazine. Like women’s era. It’s the women’s wing of kumudam publications. Perhaps, the lotus is being compared with women and Snehidi is the friend of the woman, or the fairer sex.

Justice Maheshwari: (in jest): we can’t say anything…

[Jitendra Kumar Mehta vs ED]

Plea concerning seizure of electronic devices during criminal investigations

Sr Adv A Sundaram: some sort of information is being looked at. No predicate offence against me and my phone is being looked to find a link with predicate offence. There needs to be some guidelines to stop such fishing and roving inquiry. Where is my privacy I ask ? If my phone contain something.. then how it affects them.. there is nothing.Image
CJI: tell us why your mobile has been taken away ? There are people siphoning off thousands of crores and phones cannot be looked into? If they rely on something which is not related to this then we can intervene. We can look at it from case to case also. But not like this. Let them see first.

Sundaram: Then my plea becomes infructuous!

CJI: why did they come to you.

Sundaram: please see the summons, nothing against me.
Justice Bagchi: This is a fallacious argument by you Mr Sundaram. ECIR is in respect of an offence and not an individual. There is no notice needed for seizing a device.

CJI: you are behaving as if you have nothing to do. ED just raided your place early morning as if you called them for tea.

Order: Issue notice.

Supreme Court hears a batch of pleas seeking steps to be taken against hate speech incidents.

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta

#hatespeech #SupremeCourt Image
State agencies were enabled to take suo motu action on hate speeches without waiting for complaints.
Adv. Nizam Pasha: there are 5 points why this matter was entertained. The problem was not the inadequacy of laws. The problem was the reluctance of state agencies in taking action particularly when the perpetrators were associated with the ruling establishment.
