Justice Deepak Gupta on Delhi High Court order bail to Asif Iqbal Tanha, Devangana Kalita and Natasha Narwal in a Delhi Riots case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) [UAPA] Act. 
#Supremecourt #Delhihighcourt #UAPA #bail
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"

Supreme Court hears a batch of pleas by women Army SSC officers seeking permanent commission, alleging denial on grounds of discrimination and arbitrary decisions by the IAF.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, and Justice NK Singh Image
Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy argues that this is a rigorous selection process consisting of several stages, which precludes the argument that women officers are less suitable. Stage one is the screening test with Officer Intelligence Ratings, followed by further stages... both women and men undergo the same competition, which is identical for both.
Justice NK Singh asks Advocate Guruswamy whether men and women undergo training together as a mixed group.

Advocate Guruswamy replies that yes, they undergo training together for around 11 months.

We are already aware that draft regulations have been published. We made the suggestions. 2 coordinate benches of this Court have attempted to address this issue as well.

If it is found that this is a perversion of a constitutional scheme we may press that this may not continue. There is no question of proceeding with other states and establishing fait accompli. An actual date may be given.
