On December 2, the Supreme Court temporarily released YSRCP social media in-charge Sajjala Bhargava Reddy, allowing him to approach the High Court regarding multiple FIRs alleging derogatory online posts about Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu. The court granted him two weeks of protection from arrest while emphasizing the importance of High Courts.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled against providing protection to married individuals seeking live-in relationships, citing the promotion of bigamy and undermining the rights of spouses and children. The court emphasized the significance of marriage and family as fundamental social institutions and criticized the petitioners for tarnishing their families’ reputations.
