Cannot be taken lightly: Supreme Court condemns harassment of 14-year-old girl linked to CJP protest

Cannot be taken lightly: Supreme Court condemns harassment of 14-year-old girl linked to CJP protest The Supreme Court on Thursday took strong exception to vigilantes browbeating and harassing a 14-year-old girl who had taken part in the Cockroach Janta Party protests in Delhi's Jantar Mantar. A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said that allegations concerning intimidation of the girl and browbeating her or her family members cannot would be a serious issue. Nobody should be protected if violence against a child is involved. If persons accused of such acts were roaming free and attempting to browbeat the child or her family so that they do not pursue criminal proceedings, it would be a serious matter," the CJI remarked. The girl came under spotlight after right wing influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj openly told on social media that he had beaten the girl's father during the CJP protests. Bhardwaj was initially booked only for the offences under Sections 115(2) (causing simple hurt) and 126(2) (wrongful restraint) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). He later took to social media and claimed that had cracked the skull of the girl's father and was detained by the police only for a few hours. Meanwhile, after Cockroach Janta Party leaders along with the girl and her father protested at the Parliament Street police station, more serious charges were added and he was arrested.

BJP leader files contempt case against CJP's Saurav Das for X post targeting P&H High Court Chief Justice

BJP leader files contempt case against CJP's Saurav Das for X post targeting P&H High Court Chief Justice A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader has moved Punjab and Haryana High Court to seek contempt of court proceedings against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convener Saurav Das for imputing political motives to High Court's recent direction for release of pending dearness allowance/dearness relief (DA/DR) of Punjab government employees and pensioners. The judgment was delivered by a Bench of Chief Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rohit Kapoor on August 03. Justice Mishra was then the Acting Chief Justice of the High Court. The petition filed by advocate Nitin Garg, who is the State General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Punjab Unit, the youth wing of BJP, alleges that Das on August 20 criticised the judgment and claimed that the matter was clandestinely withdrawn from another "independent bench" in violation of the roster. The plea accuses of Das of making false claims about the Court's judgment. In August, the High Court had directed the Punjab government to release up-to-date pending installments of DA/DR to all its employees and pensioners by August 31. The Court had also ordered Punjab not to resort to any unproductive expenditures such as large-scale advertising campaigns in print or social media, till these dues are cleared. In an August 20 post on X, Das claimed that the ACJ Mishra had withdrawn the "politically sensitive case" from another bench "that had a reputation of being" independent" in violation of the roster.

Delhi High Court makes biometric Aadhaar authentication mandatory for GST registrations across India The Delhi High Court has directed the authorities to make biometric-based Aadhaar authentication mandatory before any person or entity is given a registration under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime [Neha v. A Bench of Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Shail Jain passed the interim order on petitions raising concerns about fraudulent GST registrations that are taken using stolen or frozen PAN card and Aadhaar details of unassuming citizens, to swindle money. "For the time being, directions are issued to all the authorities across the country not to allow any GST Registration without biometric based AADHAR authentication henceforth," the Court's September 8 order said. The Court added that the government is at liberty to apprise it of any practical difficulty it may encounter in implementing this measure. The petitions on which the order was passed included one by a woman named Neha. Her plea stated that two GST registrations were fraudulently obtained using her PAN and Aadhaar, without her knowledge or consent, to swindle over ₹4.46 crore from her savings bank account with Punjab National Bank. Upon inquiry, the Bank disclosed that it had received a purported GST notice for the said amount in favour of a GST authority. Neha lodged complaints in March 2026 before the concerned GST authorities.
