#BombayHighCourt to shortly pronounce the interim order in the pleas filed by Mumbai journalist and digital news portal challenging the recently notified #ITRules2021.

@GoI_MeitY
Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni had reserved the verdict yesterday.

#BombayHighCourt #ITRules2021

barandbench.com/news/litigatio…
The petitioners had sought an interim stay on the application of the #ITRules2021 till the Writ Petition challenging the Rules was decided on merits.
Order: We may observe that as far as Rule 14 is concerned , no immediate urgency as Committee is not set up.
In these circumstances, oversight committee itself has not taken affect. We urge petitioners to come as and when it set up .
Order: We find no case is made out for stay on Rule 16. Hence that is not stayed.

Rule 9 prima facie seems to be against the freedom of speech. We have stayed Rule 9 (1) and (3) and not (2). We have not granted stay on Rule 7.
Order: Rule issued. 3 weeks to file detailed reply.

[BREAKING] CJI NV Ramana laments the lack of debates in parliament and hows laws with "gaps" are being passed. #supremecourt #CJIRamana

1/n: "Earlier different, different laws used to be discussed and elaborated in the parliament."
2/n CJI Ramana: So the burden of the courts while interpreting or implementing the law is less. So the legislative part was clear with respect to what they want to tell us. #supremecourt #CJIRamana
3/n CJI Ramana: Why they are making such a legislation. Now it is sorry state of affairs, now we see legislation with sorry state of affairs. Now we see legislations with lot of gaps, and lot of ambiguity in making laws. #supremecourt #CJIRamana
