Supreme Court directs MeitY to include action against unauthorised court clip uploads in policy

The Supreme Court, in a batch of petitions concerning live streaming and recording or publishing of court proceedings, directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to include in its proposed policy necessary measures for action against those who fail to comply with the Court's directions. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana that suggestions received had been sent to MeitY and sought listing after the Diwali break. He also flagged breaches of the Court's earlier directions and sought take-down of content in case of breach. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, for an intervenor, suggested maintaining a duly authenticated repository of court proceedings on an official Court website, with watermark and cryptographic signing, from which clips could be extracted. Justice Bagchi said steps on these lines were being taken administratively and that steps to prevent extraction of clips from High Court YouTube channels were underway, while difficulty persisted in implementation. The Court had earlier restrained commercial exploitation of courtroom clips; Bhushan argued the term was vague, and Justice Bagchi said a YouTuber would need permission from the Secretary General for extraction. Noting that MeitY is formulating a policy, the Court ordered that necessary measures for taking action against non-compliance will also be incorporated in the policy. In its July 24 order, the Court had barred extraction, dissemination, monetisation, posting, re-posting, uploading, transmitting, modification, storing or hosting of audio-video recordings of judicial proceedings on social media or digital platforms without prior permission of the Secretary General of the Supreme Court or Registrar Generals of jurisdictional High Courts, while clarifying that news outlets may report Court proceedings without sharing clips.

Supreme Court refuses to interfere with Khurram Parvez bail, dismisses NIA plea in UAPA terror funding case

On Friday, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the Delhi High Court order granting bail to Khurram Parvez in the National Investigation Agency's terror funding case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, and dismissed the NIA's petition, having regard to the long period Parvez has spent in custody. A Bench of Justices MM Sundresh and PB Varale passed the order. Additional Solicitor General Raja Thakare appeared for the NIA, and Senior Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir appeared for Parvez. Mir submitted that Parvez has a prosthetic leg, has been in custody for nearly five years, and that the trial has not reached the stage of framing charges, which has been deferred since August 19 when the NIA sought time to file a supplementary chargesheet. In July, the Delhi High Court had refused to stay a trial court order granting bail to Parvez and Irfan Mehraj in a 2020 UAPA case and instead imposed stricter bail conditions. The NIA had challenged the July 18 order of the Patiala House Court by Principal District and Sessions Judge Pitamber Dutt granting bail. The case arises from an NIA FIR registered in October 2020 alleging that NGOs, trusts and societies in Jammu and Kashmir collected funds in India and abroad under the guise of charitable and welfare activities and diverted them to finance terrorist activities, and that the organisations developed links with banned outfits including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. The accused dispute the allegations. The NIA alleged that Parvez, coordinator of the Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Societies, raised funds from international entities under the guise of promoting human rights and channelled them to support terror-related activities, propagated a secessionist agenda through NGOs, and provided material support to protesters during the 2016 Kashmir unrest. It alleged that Irfan Mehraj was a close associate of Parvez and worked as a researcher with the JKCCS until March 2022. The trial court bail order paved the way for Parvez's release, as he had recently obtained bail from the Delhi High Court in a separate 2021 NIA case alleging that he recruited overground workers for the banned terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba; in that order the High Court imposed 13 conditions, including a bar on uploading, sharing or circulating anti-national material on social media.

Madras High Court directs Tamil Nadu police to monitor online content targeting judges and bar intimidating public meetings

The Madras High Court has directed the State of Tamil Nadu not to permit any public meeting or march that aims to target, defame or intimidate a sitting judge. A bench of Chief Justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan held that abusive, defamatory or caste-based attacks on a sitting judge are not protected free speech and violate the reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2) of the Constitution, while citizens may criticise a judgment. The court directed the State police and district administration to evaluate applications for public meetings, marches and protests on judicial matters on a strict case-by-case basis under the BNSS and local police Acts, deny permission for gatherings aimed at personally targeting a judge, and immediately end any assembly that turns into a personal attack and take legal action. The directions were passed in a public interest litigation filed by R Karthikeyan seeking preventive and punitive action against organised public campaigns targeting sitting judges. The petitioner had also sought action against office bearers of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamaath (TNTJ) and Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) and cited protests after a Madurai bench order on reservation benefits post conversion.

CBI registers FIR against Chandra Proteco, directors over alleged ₹210.13 crore bank fraud

The CBI registered an FIR against Chandra Proteco Limited and its directors, including Ranjeet Gupta, Anilesh Gupta and Aparna Gupta, on a complaint by Indian Bank over an alleged ₹210.13 crore bank fraud. The agency said the accused allegedly conspired to obtain cash credit, term loans and letters of credit worth ₹541.46 crore from a six-bank consortium led by Indian Bank, and that the company allegedly diverted funds through associate entities and non-consortium accounts. The CBI also searched premises in Prayagraj and seized financial documents. The case includes cheating and offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act; the alleged wrongful loss to five banks, including Indian Bank, was ₹210.13 crore.

Bombay HC quashes School Tribunal order reinstating peon, says procedural lapses need real prejudice

The Bombay High Court, in a writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 by the school management and principal, held that the School Tribunal's order was perverse and quashed the reinstatement of a school peon. The Tribunal had set aside the peon's dismissal and directed reinstatement with full back wages and consequential benefits under Section 9 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977. The Court applied State Bank of Patiala v. S.K. Sharma, (1996) 3 SCC 364, observing that procedural violations do not automatically vitiate an inquiry except in cases of no notice, no opportunity and no hearing, and that real prejudice must be shown. It noted that the employee had received the charge-sheet, replied, nominated a representative to the Inquiry Committee, and participated in proceedings where evidence was recorded. The Tribunal had doubted the complaint's authenticity, noted the lady teacher was not examined, and held the inquiry findings baseless without discussing the alleged misconduct and disrepute. The impugned order had remained stayed since 12 August 2005, subject to the management depositing the awarded back wages.
