[Sexual Assault Case] “It’s a Political Call. The State Can Handle it; The Court Shouldn’t be Involved”: HC On ‘Badlapur Bandh’ Petition

Yesterday, On 22nd August, The Bombay High Court initially declined to intervene in a petition challenging the legality of a bandh organized by Maha Vikas Aghadi. The court noted that existing laws and state authorities were sufficient to handle law and order issues. After hearing arguments, the court agreed to hear the matter but cautioned against political overtones in the proceedings.
