Bombay High Court will hear the PILs filed registering protest over the media trial being conduct in the reporting on the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput today.
Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni will begin the hearing shortly
In the previous hearing, Senior Advocate Devadatt Kamat continued arguments on behalf of the petitioners point out how the state had abdicated from its constitutional responsibilities by merely forwarding complaints to private organisations like NBA.
After hearing the case since its inception in October 2018, yesterday, a Spl MP/MLA Court had opined that the case ought to be transferred since it was not a case file against MP/MLA.
Bombay HC hears the anticipatory bail application of veteran actor Vikram Gokhale in connection with a case of alleged cheating and fraud over a 25-year-old land development project at Mulshi.
Sr. Adv. Shirish Gupte appearing for Gokhale argues that he was only the brand ambassador to attract people to the project.
He states that he was never on the board of the company Sujata Farms which is the company developing the project.
Court asks if there are any advertisement to prove Gupte's point.
Gupte: This project is 25 yrs old, the ads are 25 yrs old.
I can get it, but I do not have them now.
Supreme Court to shortly hear an anticipatory bail plea filed by former Punjab Director General of Police Sumedh Singh Saini---an accused in the 1991 Balwant Singh Multani murder case
Senior Adv Mukul Rohatgi: interest of the state is evident in this case. I will show you how gross and vindictive is the attitude of the case.
Senior Adv Rohatgi states the career credentials of Sumedh Singh Saini: :"he is a highly decorated officer. There are scores of death threats on this man. He took part in hundreds of operations and busted terror networks. When he was a DGP, he lodged five cases against current CM
Senior Adv Jitendra Sharma: I am not saying accused should not be handcuffed, but a request needs to be made before the magistrate for it
CJI: some prisoners are dangerous and they need to be handcuffed
Sharma reads SC verdict saying accused will not be handcuffed as a general rule.
CJI: a accused intends to assault the police and you want magistrate to ask him whether he wants to be handcuffed? Only a foolish person will say yes to handcuff. There are the ones who kill police
