Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan Image

@BasanagoudaBJP

Read our report: barandbench.com/news/karnataka…
Matter taken up.

Senior Adv Sidhartha Dave appears for BJP MLA B Patil Yatnal.

Senior Adv AM Singhvi appears for State of Karnataka

Kant J: How come Article 131 comes here? That is between State and State. They could have decided it on merits.

Senior Adv Dave: Yes
Senior Adv Singhvi: High Court is right, all the investigation is between Centre and State. Also aggrieved person here should be CBI, the consent from whom was withdrawn.

Kant J: Yes. You may be right. High Court could have said that CBI is aggrieved party and not the other one
Senior Adv Dave: There is not even a whisper about my locus in the entire impugned Judgment.

Order: Issue notice. Mr Singhvi appears for Congress Leader and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. Liberty is granted to all the respondents to take their preliminary objections.
Kant J: We will see what can be done. CBI is not before us.

Senior Adv Singhvi (for DK Shivakumar): Sometimes CBI is also reasonable.

Senior Adv Dave: Please note that Mr Singhvi is saying CBI is reasonable.

(Court laughs)

Senior Adv Singhvi: I have said this for CBI not for its sister organization.

"If you don't like India, please don't work in India... We will ask government to block Wikipedia in India."

Delhi High Court issues contempt of court notice to Wikipedia for not complying with the Court's order directing it to disclose info about people who made edits on ANI's Wikipedia page.

@Wikipedia @ANIImage
ANI has sued Wikipedia for defamation.

The news agency has said that Wikipedia allowed defamatory edits on its page which referred to ANI as the "propaganda tool" for the present government.
HC had ordered Wikipedia to provide subscriber details to ANI of three people who made edits on its page.

Today, ANI filed a contempt application in the High Court alleging that the order has not been complied with.

#SupremeCourt bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud hears the case of ABP news channel against the case it faces for airing interview of dreaded criminal and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, prime suspects in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder case

Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi: This is Article 19(1)(a) case and the HC order has a chilling effect on free speech. This is investigative journalism and nothing else. The journalist knows that phones are readily available in the jails. He used his sources and conducted the interview.Image
Rohatgi: HC was just considering how inmates get such benefits and someone pointed out the interview. The HC then directed FIR against the journalist. This is killing the messenger and then who will expose the rot? this is the state of investigative journalism!

CJI: the fact remains that you gained access to the jail and publish an interview in TV channel, whose permission did you take? we see the broader point of 19(1)(a)... but there are restrictions by virtue of incarceration...
Rohatgi: if at all this case has to go on then let it to go to CBI. how can the punjab police look into this at all ?

#MadrasHighCourt while hearing petition challenging detention of YouTuber #SavukkuShankar under #GoondasAct asks Tamil Nadu authorities:

"How many people are telling lies in TV channels and media? All the similar cases, where some information is provided on corruption or something, have you arrested? How many persons?"Image
Justice SM Subramaniam: Is it possible for government to run behind all such persons spreading false news? Only if it affects public order (you can invoke preventive detention) … How it (Savukku Shankar’s comments) affected public order?

#MadrasHighCourt #SavakkuShankar
Justice Subramaniam: It is the person who views YouTube – it his basic right (choose what to see). Can you stop your thought process?

YouTube may have good and bad videos, a person has a right to choose what to watch, Judge adds.
