Police detain activists at India Gate as Maneka Gandhi calls SC’s Delhi-NCR stray dog shelter order “impractical” and warns of ecological harm. Delhi govt to implement plan despite protests.
New Delhi: Today, 11th Feb, The Supreme Court of India has ruled that banks are not required to station security guards at all ATMs 24×7 to enforce orderly queues and ensure that only one customer enters at a time. This decision came from a bench comprising Justices Bhushan R Gavai and K Vinod Chandran, as they overturned a 2013 directive issued by the Gauhati High Court.
Lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan strongly opposed the idea of ‘one nation, one election’, calling it as “ridiculous and unconstitutional”, and said holding simultaneous polls was impractical in a parliamentary democracy. He also hailed the recent apex court judgements that gave a stay on lawsuits about reclaiming religious places, especially mosques, and ‘bulldozer justice’.
