Today (22nd April): The Supreme Court has asked the Gujarat Government to respond to the bail plea of retired IAS officer Pradeep Sharma, accused of illegally converting government land during his tenure as collector of Kutch district. After the Gujarat High Court rejected his bail plea, Sharma appealed to the Supreme Court, citing previous misconduct allegations.
On Tuesday(19th March),The Supreme Court overturned an FIR against Shiv Prasad Semwal in Uttarakhand due to lack of evidence for a cognizable offense related to a newspaper article about government land encroachment. The court ruled that the allegations did not constitute recognizable criminal offenses, providing significant relief to Semwal. The FIR was subsequently dismissed.
