@AmishaShriv it cannot be expected from a girl of six years that she would tell the full name of the other person, who is residing in the nearby area: #BombayHighCourt
@AmishaShriv She would know that person with the first or last name/surname or may identify that person by the name of the person's child/children i.e. father of a particular boy/girl: #BombayHC
@AmishaShriv Giving full name of the accused by the mother from the said nickname therefore cannot be viewed from an angle of implication of the accused: #BombayHighCourt

#SupremeCourt to hear Maharashtra Government’s plea challenging acquittal by Bombay HC of former Delhi University professor & activist GN Saibaba & others in alleged Maoist links case. Bench comprises Justices MR Shah & CT Ravikumar.
Sr Adv R Basant to appear for Saibaba, Sr Adv Nitya Ramakrishnan for two others, ASG SV Raju for State of Maharashtra. Last year, SC stayed release of Saibaba & others by suspending Bombay HC's acquittal order.
Yesterday, Basant proposed that the matter can be remanded to Bombay HC to be heard afresh on all concerned issues. Shah J said that before remanding, HC's acquittal order would have to be set aside. Read the report here.
Yesterday's arguments ranged from meaning of gender, maintainability of petitions, if court should deal with personal laws & if law should follow popular will.
SG Mehta: Before the petitioners start, I have something to place on record. In continuation of my request that states should be heard, UOI has written letters to all Chief Secretaries...
#SupremeCourt to hear a batch of petitions challenging the Gujarat government's decision to prematurely release 11 life convicts in the #BilkisBano case. A bench comprising Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna is hearing the matter.
The bench is hearing another matter now, which is to continue after lunch.
Joseph J (before rising): At 2, we also have that matter (referring to the plea by #BilkisBano). But, we will continue with this current matter, & see how the board holds up.
