#SupremeCourt issues notice a PIL seeking media gag order on the case of Malayali nurse Nimisha Priya who is on death row in Yemen.
Bench: Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep
Petitioner-in-person KA Paul: I want just three days not to talk about this matter. It is her request.
Paul: Complete gag order. Let the government speak. But not those two people. Continuously they are appearing in the media and making false statements.
Order: we issue notice to the Attorney General. Fix it on Monday 25th August 2025.
J Nath: whatever order, we will pass on Monday.
Paul: Delicate negotiations are in progress in Yemen. Individuals such as advocate Subhash Chandran and his associates and Mr Kanchapuram saying we paid the money, some of them are saying we negotiated. I have never met them, I have nothing to do with them and I have not received a dollar from them.
Paul: she will be put to death on 24th or 25th. I want just 3 days not to talk about this case

#SupremeCourt hears a plea filed by Sambhal Mosque Committee against Allahabad High Court order that upheld the trial court's order directing an advocate commissioner to survey the
mosque in a suit which claims that the mosque was built after destroying a temple.
Bench: should we tag this with the Places of Worship Act matter?
Counsel for respondent: Issue related to Places of Worship Act does not arise in this case. We are just seeking access. It is already a protected monument.
Senior Advocate Huzefa Ahmadi for the petitioner: the high court gave a finding that there is no bar under the Places Of Worship Act. I am in appeal against that. So the issue arises
#SupremeCourt constitution bench to continue hearing today Presidential Reference by President Droupadi Murmu (@rashtrapatibhvn) on 14 questions on the power to assent on Bills, including whether Court can fix timelines for the President/Governor to decide on Bills.

This comes after the BMC Commissioner by an order dated August 14, 2025 decided to close down slaughter houses in Mumbai City for 2 days during Paryushan i.e August 24 and August 27 (Ganesh Chaturthi).
#paryushan2025 #BMC #BombayHighCourt
Adv Abhinav Chandrachud for the Jain Community submits that the BMC Chief failed to consider the fact the population of Jains is more in Mumbai than in Ahemdabad. He pointed out that Ahmedabad already has decided to close down slaughter houses in the city for all the days during the Paryushan Parva.
