The Gujarat High Court declined to intervene in protests by residents of a housing complex in Vadodara against a Muslim woman’s flat allotment, stating it’s not a public interest matter. The woman, employed by the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Skill Development, faces opposition and discrimination. Residents demand her relocation to another housing scheme to avoid potential “threat and nuisance.”
Pradipbhai Ramamlal Modiya, a convict in the Bilkis Bano gang rape case stemming from the 2002 Gujarat riots, sought a 30-day parole after his father-in-law’s death but was granted 5 days by the Gujarat High Court. This case has been a focal point of national outrage, with the Supreme Court intervening to quash the remission granted to the convicts by the Gujarat government in 2022, emphasizing its significance in the pursuit of justice.
