#MadrasHighCourt while hearing petition challenging detention of YouTuber #SavukkuShankar under #GoondasAct asks Tamil Nadu authorities:
"How many people are telling lies in TV channels and media? All the similar cases, where some information is provided on corruption or something, have you arrested? How many persons?"
Justice SM Subramaniam: Is it possible for government to run behind all such persons spreading false news? Only if it affects public order (you can invoke preventive detention) … How it (Savukku Shankar’s comments) affected public order?
#MadrasHighCourt #SavakkuShankar
Justice Subramaniam: It is the person who views YouTube – it his basic right (choose what to see). Can you stop your thought process?
YouTube may have good and bad videos, a person has a right to choose what to watch, Judge adds.
#SupremeCourt 7- judge constitution bench to deliver judgment shortly on petitions involving questions on the legality of sub-classifying reserved category groups, viz. the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
Union of India had strongly defended reservation for downtrodden classes in India before the #SupremeCourt, while informing that it is also in favour of having sub-classifications among Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Scheduled Castes (SCs)
CJI DY Chandrachud during the hearing had observed that there was a distinction between the "sub-classification" and "sub-categorisation" of communities.
The CJI had added that States may have to sub-categorise reserved category communities to ensure that reservation benefits reach more backward groups #SupremeCourtOfIndia
