Granting bail to #DeepSidhu, Delhi Court says that Sidhu's arrest in ASI FIR clearly suggested that "it was an attempt to defeat the bail order" in the first FIR and was "a grave affront to personal liberty".
"Such vicious and sinister action of investigative authorities amounts to playing fraud with established criminal process and shows scant regard to constitutional protections enshrined, protected and cherished under the Constitution on India,", the Court added.

Nagpur Bench of #BombayHighCourt will continue hearing the suo motu Public Interest Litigation (PIL) registered to consider issues concerning COVID-19 management in the city of Nagpur.
[Allahabad High Court] A bench led by Justice Siddhart Varma heard the suo moto case (574/2020) on the Covid crisis in Uttar Pradesh. A Letter Petition was also heard along which contended that the referral system (CMO reference) before admitting a patient is arbitrary.
J.Varma: What is this Referral letter?
Adv Anuj: If you have to be admitted into a private hospital or covid facility, you need to have a referral letter. I have personally suffered because this referral letter was not issued.
J. Varma: Mr. Goyal (AAG), please look into this.
Anuj: Now private hospitals are allowed to take 90% beds on their own, but in govt hospital, private and government medical colleges will continue to take 70% beds only after this CMO reference (referral letter)
The Court was hearing a case registered suo motu after it received two letters highlighting various difficulties faced by COVID-19 positive patients in the State.
