1. Analysing the Supreme Court’s judgment on sex work

Analysing the Supreme Court’s judgment on sex work

Analysing the Supreme Court’s judgment on sex work For more than three decades, sex workers have told governments and courts how anti-trafficking interventions cause profound harm including forced rescues, indefinite detention in “corrective homes”, separation from children and even threat to life. And for decades, these accounts were only acknowledged in fragments, and never in a comprehensive rights-based framework. That is what makes the Supreme Court’s judgment of May 29, 2026, so significant. Across nearly 300 pages, the court departs from many assumptions that have long shaped anti-trafficking discourse globally. It recognises that agency and vulnerability can coexist; rejects the conflation of migration with trafficking; affirms that constitutional rights do not disappear because society disapproves of sex work; holds that consenting adult sex workers cannot forcibly be rescued; and that any intervention must begin with an inquiry into consent. Invoking Article 142, the court gives these directions legal force. But the judgment also exposes a paradox: it adopts arguments that have been painstakingly developed by sex workers but does not acknowledge the workers or their collectives (such as the National Network of Sex Workers among others). This is not only a question of credit; it reveals how even progressive jurisprudence can reproduce a hierarchy of knowledge in which those most affected by law remain its least recognised authors.

FIR not withdrawn despite apology: Mother of girl who abused PM seeks protection

FIR not withdrawn despite apology: Mother of girl who abused PM seeks protection FIR not withdrawn despite apology: Mother of girl who abused PM seeks protection Days after the 15-year-old apologised for using derogatory language against PM Modi, her mother said that the FIR against her has not been withdrawn despite her being a minor. If Prime Minister Modi has forgiven her, then the police should also close the matter and withdraw the FIR, the girl's mother said. The mother of the 15-year-old girl whose video abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar went viral has appealed for the FIR against her daughter to be withdrawn, saying the teenager has realised her mistake and is deeply ashamed. She said that the FIR against the teenager, who had used extremely derogatory language against the Prime Minister, has not been withdrawn even though PM Modi had said that the "misguided children" should be forgiven and guided on the right path. Speaking to, the woman said her daughter should not have used abusive language against elders and apologised on her behalf to the entire country. On behalf of my daughter, I apologise to the entire country. The most important thing for me is that today she realises her mistake and there is shame in her eyes," she said. The mother said young people have every right to protest and raise their voices through demonstrations, social media or YouTube, but should avoid using abusive language.

'CJP stands with students': Abhijeet Dipke backs Jharkhand protest

'CJP stands with students': Abhijeet Dipke backs Jharkhand protest RANCHI: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday extended support to students protesting in Jharkhand over alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) recruitment examinations. In a post on X, Dipke said, "Spoke to the students who are protesting in Jharkhand over irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams. The CJP stands with all the students in Jharkhand and supports their demands." The CJP also posted on X, saying, "CJP stands with the students of Jharkhand who are protesting over the irregularities in the JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams." Meanwhile, hundreds of students continued their protest for the fifth consecutive day in Ranchi on Sunday, demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the 14th JPSC examination, JSSC-CGL and other recruitment tests. The protesters have been holding an indefinite sit-in at a stadium since July 29 and are demanding reforms in the recruitment process and action against those responsible for the alleged discrepancies. During the protest, students raised slogans including "Order CBI probe in JPSC", "Long live Students Unity" and "Shame on Hemant Soren". This time, OMR sheets of candidates have been leaked. Chief Minister Hemant Soren has ordered a CID probe, but we are not satisfied," JPSC aspirant Rahul Kumar Kranti told PTI. He alleged that earlier probes into the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC)-CGL paper leak had failed to result in any action and claimed that the latest investigation could also be "covered up" after a few months.
