#SudarshanTV matter hearing commences in the #SupremeCourt.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appears for the Govt, and informs the bench about the proceedings before the Inter Ministerial Committee.
SG says a fresh notice has been issued to #SudarshanTV today, based on the recommendations by the Committee. A hearing has been fixed for tomorrow.

SC agrees to adjourn the hearing to let the Govt conclude the proceedings and pass final orders.
#SupremeCourt adjourns #SudarshanTV case to Oct26.

With Justice KM Joseph not being a part of the bench today, sr adv Sanjay Hegde asks if the old bench will be back or the matter will need to be argued all over again. SG Mehta objects to a lawyer questioning bench's composition
A lawyer seeks to appear on behalf of @SanjeevSanskrit & intervene in the case since he was a panelist on a show on #UPSC-Jihad & his comments were mentioned during a previous hearing.

But Chandrachud J replies: "You keep appearing on TV shows only. You don't have to be here."

In the #Hathras case, #UttarPradesh Govt has filed an affidavit even before the #SupremeCourt has heard the PIL or agreed to admit it.

The reply alleges an insidious propaganda by political parties, a section of media to malign the Yogi Govt despite a "diligent probe".
This affidavit claims political parties, a section of media is trying to give a communal & casteist colour to #Hathras incident & hence, the #SupremeCourt should monitor the #CBI probe in a time bound manner. This will ensure a free probe besides weeding out false narratives.
About the midnight cremation of the #Hathras victim, UP Govt says she was cremated in the presence of her family members, who agreed to attend in order to prevent further violence. Affidavit adds it was done to maintain law & order.

First hearing of the PIL is around 12.30 PM

#Delhi High Court is hearing a petition by actor #RakulPreetSingh against tirade of charges against & 'fake news' against her.

Her lawyer submits she was called as a witness by #NCB & didn't implicate anyone.
"I am a non-smoker, a teetotaller, never did drugs. I have been replaced in a short film because of all this. My reputation is in tatters. All news channels are airing unsubstantiated charges": #RakulPreetSingh to High Court.
ASG Chetan Sharma, for Govt, says she is not an accused as on date & he sympathises with her. "But any observations by this court at this juncture may have a ripple effect. This is a sensitive case."

But HC tells him there has to be some balance, I&B should question channels.

Sr adv Harish Salve begins arguing for the petitioners.

The bench seeks to know where is the threat issued by the #Delhi Assembly Peace & Harmony Committee.
Salve takes the bench to the relevant page in the petition.

"This is quite remarkable. Who is this deputy secretary issuing this serious threat. What privilege, whose privilege?" Salve submits before the bench headed by Justice Sanjay K Kaul.
I am an outsider. I am nit interrupting proceedings of your committee. Whether I can be asked to appear or not is for somebody to decide. But if I don't want to appear in a matter that has political overtones. I don't want to come in middle of this. Can I be compelled?: Salve
