Justice Deepak Gupta: " This trend of denying bail by just adding something which is very serious and courts are reluctant to grant bail and in sensitive issues, and national security is brought in and call it anti-national and courts are reluctant. This is more of a #trend."
Justice Deepak Gupta: "As far as CAA is concerned, every citizen has a right to protest whether it's a justified protest or unjustified. I may not agree with what protesters are saying but they have a right to protest as long as the protest is peaceful" #CAA#protests#UAPA
Justice Deepak Gupta: "What Delhi High Court has basically held is that bail can be granted even when a prima facie case is not made out when one is charged under UAPA" #DelhiHighCourt#UAPA#delhiriots#bail

Supreme Court hears the case where village residents oppose the burial of a Christian man in the graveyard of their village in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar
Son of deceased Ramesh Baghel, a farmer from a Scheduled Caste (SC) community, who has kept the body in a mortuary for 12 days now is before supreme court
Justice BV Nagarathna: Why cannot a person before buried where they wanted to. Body is in mortuary? We are sorry to say that A person has to come to supreme court for the burial of his father. The HC, panchayat etc are not able to solve the problem. The HC says there will be law and order problem.. we are pained at this.
SG Tushar Mehta: if the case is to be decided only on emotions then I have nothing to say, else let it be argued
Sr Adv Colin Gonsalves: see the real reason, burial not being allowed because the person had converted.
SG: Intention may be to make this a precedent for rest of country. There is burial ground for the tribals who are not Christians. Though they are not christians they bury their dead. When christians die, just 20 km away there is a christian burial ground and they take the dead their and bury them. This ground is a Hindu tribal burial ground. Thus rather than not being vehement that I will not go 20 kms away.. then there are laws..
Justice Nagarathna: but what about burying in own land?
SG: once you bury or cremate someone in a private land the character of land changes it becomes a sacred place and it also has health issues. That is not permitted.. cremation etc is not allowed in private lands
Justice Nagarathna: no no nothing remains after cremation...
SG: it is not about one person it is the beginning of something else.
