The Calcutta High Court allowed a doctors’ organization to protest from December 20 to 26 for justice regarding the alleged rape and murder of a medic. The court mandated the protest occur 50 feet from Dorina Crossing to mitigate traffic issues, limiting the number of participants and setting size restrictions on the demonstration stage.
The Kerala High Court dismissed defamation charges against three individuals for waving black flags at Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s convoy in 2017. The court ruled that such protests do not amount to defamation or illegal obstruction, underscoring the legitimacy of this form of dissent within the framework of freedom of expression.
The Supreme Court, led by Justice Abhay Oka, plans to review the e-prisons portal’s functionality on October 3, addressing its practical value for bail processes. The court emphasized the need to understand the data it provides to expedite bail formalities and ensure individuals are promptly produced before the trial court. Further discussions are scheduled for November 5.
