The Delhi High Court, on Monday (2nd Dec) led by Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, will hear former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s plea against the ED’s charges on December 20. Sisodia argues that the charges lack prior sanction under CrPC due to his public servant status, echoing the Supreme Court’s ruling that requires such approval for prosecution.
Uttar Pradesh has implemented an ordinance that eliminates anticipatory bail for serious crimes, including rape, to uphold a zero-tolerance approach towards grave offenses. The amendment, part of the “Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (Uttar Pradesh Amendment), Ordinance 2024,” aims to prevent accused individuals from avoiding arrest and influencing evidence in cases involving severe crimes, marking a significant shift in the state’s legal approach.
