The Madras High Court declined to hear YouTuber Savukku Shankar’s plea to defreeze bank accounts and return seized devices, directing him to instead seek relief before the jurisdictional magistrate after his arrest over alleged assault and ₹2-lakh extortion.
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a petition claiming that Class IV employees in Uttar Pradesh district courts were being forced to do household work at judges’ residences. The Court ruled that the petition was not maintainable, as the association lacked legal authority to file it. It also stated that carrying legal files to judges’ homes does not qualify as forced labor. The Court noted that affected employees could individually file complaints if they faced such issues.
