lawbeat.in/top-stories/rs…
Counsel appearing on behalf of the Delhi Police is explaining the basis for imposing costs on Rashid as a condition for granting him custody parole to attend Parliament.
Court: This man hasn't even got his liberty back. He has just been granted custody parole.

Counsel for Delhi Police: My lords, considering the background and inputs...the condition has been imposed
Counsel for Delhi Police: Transportation has been done by the Delhi police, not by jail authorities. He is being tried for serious offences under the UAPA.
Senior Advocate N.Hariharan for Rashid: What I am trying to persuade your lordship is that if custody parole is granted, I should not be burdened with the salary of 15 people.
Senior Advocate N.Hariharan for Rashid: I'm ready to pay travel expenses. But I shouldn't be saddled with salaries, lordship.
Bench discusses
Court: We have a question before us, whether he is entitled or not. Would it be that, in the garb of custody parole, we are letting him attend Parliament? We have to consider that aspect.

Court reserves order..

Bench: Justice MM Sundresh and Justice NK Singh Image
Senior Advocate Siddharth Mridul appears for Dr. Subires Bhattacharyya, another accused in the same case.

ASG SV Raju appears for CBI, argues “This is very serious.”
J. Sundresh: We are not punishing somebody, how long inside?

ASG Raju: 3 years. CBI is not at fault. They are at fault. They are delaying.

J. Sundresh: Why are they at fault? What is the scam?

ASG Raju: Large no. Of undeserving persons who are appointed, this is the teacher recruitment scam and the education scam in West Bengal. These persons were appointed because they paid a bribe to the Minister and these two and others.

Supreme Court hears West Bengal Migrant Workers Welfare Board v. Union of India.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan alleges authorities are randomly detaining Bengali Muslims as “Bangladeshis,” only to later verify they are Indian citizens.

Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya BagchiImage
Some deported individuals were brought back after verification, Bhushan says, highlighting arbitrary enforcement and human rights concerns.

Justice Kant questions the issue: If documents are in Bangla, verification may take time, but the state argues ownership and jurisdiction matter.

Bhushan counters: Citizens should not be detained; verification can happen without restricting freedom. Court examines legality and procedure.
Justice Bagchi asks if there’s a system to verify migrant labourers’ place of origin before detention.

Justice Kant suggests a nodal agency to coordinate between home and work states.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan says authorities are detaining Bengali Muslims during verification, creating panic and fear among the community.
