Special NIA court will consider #BhimaKoregaon accused Stan Swamy's application seeking clone copies of data collected from him on December 21, 2020.

@NIA_India

#stanswamy
Adv. Sharif Sheikh and Adv. Pasbola arguing for Swamy submitted to the court that huge amount of data was collected from him, yet the amount of data cloned and provided to him was only 8 TB.
NIA opposed the application.

Special PP, Prakash Shetty: Whatever is relevant from the data we have taken from them we have given a copy to them.

Entire data has not been taken, only what is relevant is being taken.
Pasbola: It is not right for the prosecution to say if I am relying only on a part, then I will give only part.

If they are going to refer to documents or electronic evidence in court, then shouldn't they give a copy? There is an order of this court in our favour.
Court: will it not be voluminous?

Pasbola: No milord, just a pendrive, or a harddisk, maybe... It is electronic data, how can it be voluminous? They just have to clone and give us.

Court to NIA: Whatever is taken, copy should be given, that is the law.
Shetty seeks time to take instructions on the amount of data taken.

Adv. Sheikh moves on to the other applications filed seeking Swamy's bag and regarding possibility of his transfer to another jail.
NIA' reply and jail authorities both apprise the court that none of them have any bag that belongs to Swamy.

Sheikh asks the Court to record this stand taken by both authorities before disposing off the application.
Sheikh also apprises the court of the reply received from the jail authorities on the possible transfer.

The jail authorities state that since Swamy is suffering from various ailments and due to his age, he may have to be transferred to a better equipped jail.
Sheikh submits to the Court to any such transfer should be done only after intimating the court and giving Swamy an opportunity to argue in that.
After a brief hearing of all submissions, the court posts the hearing of all applications to December 21, 2020, when the Court will consider them.

#MadrasHighCourt again suggests that State should have mechanisms to monitor media reports so reported offences can be acted against without waiting for a complaint.

Says print media, visual media reports should be checked.

"Each and everything, let us not wait for a PIL." Image
It is seen there is no mechanism to take note of acts of negligence, damage to public property, civic duties which may be reported in the media, Court notes.

#MadrasHighCourt
Court says there should be a special committee of officials from all government departments which could go into media and social media reports and act to address any reported problems then and there.

#MadrasHighCourt, Madurai Bench while hearing PIL re misuse of Advocate stickers pasted on vehicles:

"First of all, what is the legal sanctity of the sticker? ... When widely it is misused, and it is reflecting (badly) on the profession, why not the Bar Council give it up?” Image
Court also orally expresses reservations over a proposal that directions may be given so that Advocate stickers are only purchased from the Bar Council, which may be verified by the police.

#MadrasHighCourt
Court: It may not be possible for police to verify if sticker is issued by Bar Council or not.

People are fabricating calling letter and #NEET card. It is not very difficult (to fabricate advocate stickers as well).
