Solicitor General Tushar Mehta Yesterday (Oct 25) informed a bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Vishwanathan that the Auliye-e-Deen Committee had withheld crucial information in its petition challenging the demolition of nine Muslim religious sites, graveyards, and hutments, some of which were protected ancient monuments in Gir Somnath, Gujarat. He noted that the removal of encroachments on the same land began five months ago and pointed out that the court was not told that similar actions, including the demolition of several temples, had been ongoing since 2020.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (Oct 23) clarified that its earlier interim order restraining health influencer Revant Himatsingka – who goes by FoodPharmer on social media – from disparaging Bournvita does not stop him from making factual assertions regarding it. The Court did not order a takedown of Himatsingka’s videos but said that an October 15 interim order restraining him from making disparaging comments against Bournvita will continue.
