Delhi University professor Ratan Lal granted bail after he was arrested by Delhi Police for his Shivling post on social media and booked for promoting enmity.
Judge in bail order: The undersigned, in personal life, is a proud follower of Hindu religion and would call the post distasteful and unnecessary comment made on a controversial topic. #GyanvapiMosque#Shivling@DelhiPolice@ratanlal72
Judge: For another person, the same post can appear to be shameful but may not incite the feeling of hatred towards another community.
The Supreme Court Bar Association holds the farewell function in honour of Justice L Nageswara Rao who had his last working as Supreme Court judge today before the top court closed for vacations.
Sr Adv Pradeep Rai: Justice Rao has a multi faceted personality. Apart from being a good cricketer, He acted in many films as a police inspector. He was there even in serials. He acted in the movie "Kanoon Apna Apna" in which he acted with Kader Khan and Sanjay Dutt
Rai: Though I wanted to dig out more, Justice Rao' staff say we cannot dig more than this. Draupadi in Mahabharat prayed for a husband who was Humble, Good looking, handsome, & married 5 Pandavas. Madam (to Justice Rao’s wife) you prayed the same and you got Justice Rao.
