#StanSwamy, bail & the case:

* #StanSwamy was not in #NIA custody even for a day after his arrest in Oct last year

* All along, he was lodged in #Taloja jail which is under the #Maharashtra govt

* The Maharashtra jail didn't have allopathic doctors,had only 3 #ayurveda experts
* #StanSwamy was later diagnosed at JJ Hospital, which is also a #Maharashtra govt hospital

* JJ Hosp gave reports to #BombayHighCourt that Stan's vitals were manageable, not grave

* At one stage, Stan said he didn't want to get admitted in JJ Hosp since they couldn't help him
* Two days later, his lawyers said he was ready to get admitted & #BombayHC shifted #StanSwamy to pvt Holy Family Hospital on May 28

* #NIA opposed his regular bail plea in HC

* While Stan's bail plea remained pending, HC gave priority to his application on medical condition

Of 527 pages on acquittal of Tarun Tejpal, #Goa judge Kshama M Joshi has used around 400 pages, dissecting testimony of the complainant in arriving at how an 'educated journalist' should've known whether she 'pulled up' her underwear or 'picked up'.
Goa court scans the complainant's phone & messages to note that "it was entirely the norm" for her to have flirtatious relationships & sexual conversations with friends & acquaintances.
Since she refused to give access to her email citing concerns of privacy when her phone details had already been used to humiliate her over her personal details, #Goa judge holds that she "wants to hide something."

SC also seeks responses from national commissions for women & children on providing relief in camps etc. Next hearing in June
Another petition filed by families of two #BJP supporters allegedly killed by #TMC workers will also be taken up by the #SupremeCourt later today.
#WestBengal Govt, through sr adv Sidharth Luthra, points out that post-poll violence matter is already pending before a five-judge bench in the #Calcutta HC and hence, the #SupremeCourt may not need to hear this matter at this juncture.

#SupremeCourt commences hearing of its suo motu proceedings on ameliorating the conditions of migrant workers during the #COVID19 induced #lockdown.

It expresses displeasure at Centre not submitting its affidavit in time.
"You were directed to file your affidavit a day before the hearing but you have done it just now. Our orders are meant to be compiled with," SC tells Centre.

Adv Prashant Bhushan, appearing on behalf of some activists, addresses the shortcomings in replies filed by states.
SC clarifies it hasn't directed states to grant cash transfer in lieu of dry ration after Bhushan mentions that court also wanted to know about cash transfers.

As he talks about cooked food, SC observes the situation doesn't appear to be as grave as last year for migrant workers

#SupremeCourt hearing on #OxygenShortage in #Delhi underway: Centre informs that #Delhi received more than 730 MT of medical #oxygen yesterday, in compliance with the court order.
SG Tushar Mehta adds a survey last evening has revealed all major #Covid
hospitals have sufficient #oxygen & there wasn't a single complaint of stock-out. A large quantity of #oxygen received y'day is still to be distributed by #Delhi, prolonging the turn around time. S
SG Mehta's note further points out #Oxygen to #Delhi has come at the cost of demands by some other states & under the orders of the #SupremeCourt.

Open access to courts is a valuable safeguard to constitutional freedom. Freedom of the press is a facet of constitutional freedom of speech & expression: #SupremeCourt holds.
#SupremeCourt emphasises on the freedom of the media as it deals with an appeal by the @ECISVEEP against scathing observations against it by the #Madras high court on Apr 26.
"Real-time updates of court proceedings are extension of freedom of press and principles of open courts. It will only bolster public participation in dispensation of justice. There can't be any gag on such reporting": #SupremeCourt

Suo motu case on #COVIDEmergency commences in the #SupremeCourt with SG Tushar Mehta saying all efforts are being made to comply with the court order to give #Delhi its 700 metric ton of #Oxygen.
#SupremeCourt, however, questions Mehta why the Centre argue before the #DelhiHighCourt that 700 MT wasn't the number fixed by the top court. It adds it was only after this denial by the Centre that the contempt notice was issued.
Centre's formula on allocation of #Oxygen has to be more scientific; it is too general at present, notes #SupremeCourt, asking SG till the time a better formula can be evolved, Centre should inform how it will cater to #Delhi.
