The Jharkhand High Court directed the state government to frame clear guidelines for identifying persons originating from outside Jharkhand, stressing administrative clarity. The division bench made the observation while hearing a plea concerning a missing child from Gumla district.
The Supreme Court ruled that the police acted “completely illegal” by filing a charge-sheet against an individual contrary to a court order prohibiting coercive action. Although it dismissed contempt notices against the officers involved after accepting their apologies, it warned that future violations could lead to contempt proceedings and mandated a review of police directives.
Yesterday, 3rd July, The Enforcement Directorate (ED) plans to challenge the Jharkhand High Court’s decision to grant bail to former Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The ED argues that the court’s belief in Soren’s innocence is mistaken and that he does not meet the requirements of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Soren’s legal battles have drawn widespread attention. The appeal’s outcome could significantly impact his political career and legal processes in Jharkhand.
