#DelhiHighCourt hears bail plea of accused Ankit Chaudhary in a murder case related to #DelhiRiots that took place in February, 2020.
Defense counsel: I was implicated in 9 murder cases. None of those 9 chargesheets the cell ID chart was available. We made an application how did you confirm my location when there is no cell ID.
HC: Can you file your written submissions so that there is clarity.
Counsel: My phone was dead. Two outer locations getting shown near the place of the incident. My phone was switched off at the relevant time. Merely because my house is in the vicinity - that should be a neutral fact.
Counsel cites inconsistency in the statements of witnesses who have deposed against his client. #DelhiRiots
Counsel: I was first arrested in one FIR (non murder case) and then I was implicated in 14 different FIRs.
Counsel: Eye witnesses are not qualified witnesses.
Counsel: The prosecution relies of a WhatsApp group Kattar Hindu Ekta. I am not directly or indirectly related to that group. Not a single message.
Now counsel for co-accused Rishabh Chaudhary begins arguments on bail.
HC: How much time will you take?
Counsel: Half an hour. I have to cite judgments.

Delhi High Court takes up plea to include PM CARES Fund within the category of "State" under the Constitution of India.

Senior Advocate Shyam Divan appears for the petitioner. The matter is before a Bench headed by Chief Justice DN Patel.

#DelhiHighCourt #PMCARES Image
Divan: Our central point is when you have governmental functionaries, or high governmental functionaries in this case, can they create a structure that is apparently exempt from the Constitution or outside the reach of the Constitution?

#DelhiHighCourt #PMCARES
Divan: Or are governmental functionaries obliged to remain within the four corners of the Constitution?
