Breaking: Plea in Supreme Court seeks to protect fundamental rights of people of District Mewat-Nuh as they are being "forcefully converted to Islam" and is in a pitiable condition compared to the "dominant Muslim group."
#SupremeCourt

@Districtnuh Image
The petition prays for restoration of land, properties, cremation sites of Hindus and form an SIT to probe instances of gang rapes, murders and kidnapping committed by "Muslims" upon the "Hindu residents of the place."

#SITProbe
Plea says that after the establishment of Tablighi Jammat the Neo Muslims became fundamentalist Muslims and slowly
they over powered the entire area and at present they are more than 95% in the area after eliminating Hindus from the area.

A Supreme Court bench led by Justice Ashok Bhushan to shortly hear Uutarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat's plea challenging the Uttarakhand HC order asking for CBI FIR against him and quashing charges against 2 investigative journalists.

@samachar_plus Image
Attorney General KK Venugopal for @tsrawatbjp : The CM was not a party in this case and the HC ordered a CBI probe. This is against SC verdicts which disallows destabilizing the government as such verdicts demand resignation of the CM which is happening.
AG: The question in one of the cases by you states that can the court suo motu orders an investigation. In this case, no notice was issued to the Chief Minsiter.

Justice UU Lalit led bench hears Pendyala Hemlatha, the wife of activist-poet and accused in the #BhimaKoregaon case, Dr P Varavara Rao's plea seeking his release on bail on medical grounds, claiming that Rao is being treated inhumanely by authorities

#SupremeCourt Image
Senior Advocate Indra Jaising appears for Rao.

Jaising-- there is violation of right to health

SC-- there are three dimensions- cognizance has been taken so we cannot say detention of the man is illegal

The issue if bail is before the HC
SC: Bail could be on merits or on medical grounds. Medical grounds also the High court is seized of the matter. The Nanavati hospital report is before the HC. Because 2 judges recused the matter is not getting heard. That is bothering us.
