The Supreme Court upheld anticipatory bail granted to MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in a rape case but removed adverse remarks made by the Kerala High Court against the survivor. The Court said such observations were unnecessary and ordered them to be expunged.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected bail for YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, arrested last year for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence officials. The court said there was “abundant evidence”, noting attempts to delete conversation records and alleged transmission of sensitive data to operatives of the Pakistan intelligence agency.
