NCB (2024) BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra Condemns Arrest of Sharmishta Panoli, Demands Immediate Release Over Social Media Controversy PRABHAT KUMAR BILTORIA 04 June 2025 Bar Council of India Chairman and BJP MP Manan Kumar Mishra strongly criticized the arrest of law student Sharmishta Panoli by Kolkata Police for a social media post. He demanded her immediate release, citing a serious violation of free speech and judicial fairness. BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra Condemns Arrest of Sharmishta Panoli, Urges Immediate Release In a powerful statement released on June 2, 2025, Manan Kumar Mishra, senior advocate and chairperson of the Bar Council of India (BCI), as well as a BJP Rajya Sabha MP, strongly opposed the arrest of 19-year-old law student and Instagram influencer Sharmishta Panoli by the Kolkata Police. Allegations Over Religious Sensitivities Panoli was detained over a social media video that allegedly hurt religious sentiments in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Despite her public apology and deletion of the post, she was arrested in Gurugram and transported to Kolkata under transit custody. On May 31, she was remanded to 14 days of judicial imprisonment by a local court in the Alipore neighborhood. Freedom of Speech Must Be Respected Mishra called the arrest a blatant misuse of power and a serious attack on the constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression. He stated, “Word choice alone does not constitute blasphemous behavior. It’s unacceptable for a young student to become a scapegoat while politically aligned individuals avoid accountability.” Call for Legal and Judicial Fairness Condemning what he described as the “selective anger” and “politically motivated” action by the West Bengal government, Mishra urged authorities to ensure fairness, impartiality, and rule of law. “A fair trial and immediate release are necessary to restore faith in our judicial process,” he added. Selective Targeting Raises Questions The BCI Chairman highlighted the broader concern of selective targeting of certain communities by the authorities while ignoring more serious infractions by others. Mishra reiterated his support for Sharmishta Panoli, pointing to her swift apology and the disproportionate response she received in return. Conclusion: Upholding Democratic Principles This incident raises serious concerns about the balance between law enforcement and democratic freedoms. As calls grow louder for Sharmishta Panoli’s release, the case underscores the urgent need to protect freedom of expression, ensure judicial transparency, and prevent the misuse of state machinery for political vendettas.

NCB (2024) ESSAY WRITING COMPETITION BY TNNLU LEGAL JOB OPPORTUNITY AT NLU, ODISHA Supreme Court Petitioned After Alleged Police Assault on Journalists Reporting on Madhya Pradesh Sand Mafia PRABHAT KUMAR BILTORIA 04 June 2025 Two journalists have filed a Supreme Court petition alleging assault by Madhya Pradesh police over their reporting on the sand mafia. The case highlights concerns around press freedom, fabricated charges, and threats to journalists in India. Background: Reporting on the Sand Mafia Leads to Trouble Two Indian journalists have filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India, seeking urgent intervention against alleged police brutality by the Madhya Pradesh Police. Their appeal follows a series of investigative articles exposing activities of the notorious sand mafia in the region. According to the petition, the journalists were allegedly assaulted inside the office of the Superintendent of Police in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, during May 2025. Case Heard by Supreme Court Bench A bench comprising Justices Sanjay Karol and Satish Chandra Sharma heard the matter and agreed to list it for urgent consideration. The reporters’ legal counsel claimed they are facing arrest in false and fabricated cases and are under threat after exposing corruption tied to illegal sand mining operations. “They Were Assaulted in a Police Station” – Advocate’s Appeal The petitioners, fearing for their safety, have sought refuge in Delhi. Their attorney argued that the journalists lacked financial means to approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court and were instead forced to seek protection from the apex court. She further alleged that the threats included possible custodial violence and even death. The assault, she noted, was not just a case of police overreach but part of a broader pattern of suppressing journalistic freedom. Debate Over Anticipatory Bail for Journalists Justice Sharma questioned whether all journalist-related cases in India should automatically be granted anticipatory bail. The attorney responded by emphasizing the severity of the threats and stated that lives were genuinely at risk. The Press Club of India has publicly condemned the incident, calling for a transparent investigation and protection of media personnel. Urgent Listing and Strong Remarks by the Court The court’s remarks indicated seriousness but also caution. “You are running a risk,” Justice Sharma told the attorney, hinting at the potential outcome if the case returns to the same bench. Justice Karol added, “We are telling you, if it comes before this bench, you know the conclusion,” prompting the advocate to assure the bench that she would make every effort to convince the court of the petitioners’ plight. Conclusion: Press Freedom Under Threat? This developing case has brought renewed attention to the ongoing threats against journalists in India, especially those reporting on powerful and illicit operations like the sand mafia. As the matter progresses, the outcome could set a crucial precedent for media protection, police accountability, and the role of the judiciary in defending press freedom.

NCB (2024) ESSAY WRITING COMPETITION BY TNNLU LEGAL JOB OPPORTUNITY AT NLU, ODISHA LEGAL JOB OPPORTUNITY AT MIND MERCHANTS Supreme Court Rejects Plea Against Assam’s Deportation Policy on Bangladeshi Infiltration PRABHAT KUMAR BILTORIA 04 June 2025 The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a plea challenging Assam’s controversial deportation drive targeting alleged illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Here’s what happened in court and what it means for the region. Writ Petition Against Assam’s Push-Back Policy Rejected The Supreme Court of India has rejected a writ petition challenging the Assam government’s controversial “push-back policy,” aimed at curbing infiltration from Bangladesh. The bench comprised Justices Sanjay Karol and Satish Chandra Sharma. Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde, who represented the petitioner, was advised by Justice Sharma to approach the Gauhati High Court since the court was not inclined to entertain the plea. Subsequently, Hegde withdrew the petition, which was then officially dismissed. Allegations of Due Process Violation in Deportation The petition, filed by the All BTC Minority Students Association, accused the Assam government of forcibly deporting Indian citizens to Bangladesh under the guise of expelling illegal immigrants. According to the plea, individuals were being detained and transported without due legal procedures, violating fundamental rights. February 4 Ruling Ordered Deportation of Verified Foreigners Previously, on February 4, a different Supreme Court bench led by Justices Abhay S. Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan had directed the state to immediately deport 63 declared foreigners. Their Bangladeshi nationality had been confirmed by the Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of Bangladesh. Petition Alleges Misuse of Court Order to Deport Indians The new petition claimed that the Assam government was misapplying the February 4 judgment to indiscriminately detain and deport individuals without confirmation from the Foreigners Tribunal, nationality verification, or legal remedy exhaustion. Constitutional Violations Cited by Petitioner According to the appeal, the “Push-Back Policy” violated Articles 14, 21, and 22 of the Constitution of India. It also challenged the policy’s alignment with the Court’s ruling in In Re: Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955. That landmark verdict upheld the constitutionality of Section 6A — a provision that acknowledges the Assam Accord. Conclusion: Legal Clarity Needed Amid Rising Deportation Concerns The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the plea against Assam’s deportation policy highlights a growing legal and humanitarian dilemma at India’s northeastern border. While the state government defends its actions as necessary to tackle illegal immigration from Bangladesh, critics argue that constitutional rights and due process are being compromised. As the debate around the “push-back policy” and the application of the Citizenship Act, 1955 intensifies, it becomes crucial for both judicial and administrative bodies to ensure transparency, legality, and respect for human rights. The involvement of tribunals, verified documentation, and clear policy execution are essential to uphold the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

Supreme Court Directs Medical Treatment for Disabled Rape Survivor at AIIMS On 2 June 2025, the Supreme Court of India passed a critical order allowing a physically disabled gangrape survivor to receive emergency medical treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, or any other appropriate hospital. The order was issued as a directive to the Union Government in response to a petition filed on the survivor’s behalf. Bench Emphasizes Urgent Medical Attention The bench, comprising Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice B.V. Nagarathna, instructed that should the petitioner’s counsel seek immediate care, the concerned authorities must facilitate her admission into AIIMS or another suitable medical facility. Senior Advocate Shobha Gupta represented the petitioner, while the State of Punjab was represented by Additional Advocate General Shadan Farasat, and the Union Government by Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati. Petitioner’s Background: Burn Injuries and Sexual Assault The case highlights the petitioner’s harrowing experience. While recovering from burn injuries at a civil hospital, she sought refuge at the Khambra Church in Jalandhar. During her transit in a cab booked online, the driver allegedly stalked, raped, and unlawfully confined her, subjecting her to multiple instances of gang rape and sexual abuse. Legal Proceedings and Fast-Track Conviction A First Information Report (FIR) was filed under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, after she was rescued by a local One Stop Center. The accused was convicted by a Fast Track Court and sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, the conviction is now under appeal at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Seeking Rehabilitation Through Victim Compensation Scheme The ongoing petition requests full implementation of the 2017 Punjab Victim Compensation Scheme for survivors of sexual assault. Now residing in Delhi, the petitioner seeks assistance from the Delhi Legal Services Authority for comprehensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial aid. Demands for Financial and Social Support Due to her permanent disability and the trauma endured, the survivor also seeks: Monthly financial assistance for medical care, nutrition, and housing Support for caregiver services Maximum compensation as per the 2017 scheme Violation of Disability Rights in India This case also brings attention to the lack of enforcement of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The Act guarantees individuals with disabilities their right to dignity, healthcare, and equal justice. It mandates a legal system that is accessible and inclusive, which was not ensured during this investigation and trial. Conclusion: A Call for Justice, Dignity, and Reform This case underscores the urgent need for systemic reforms to ensure that survivors of sexual violence, especially those with disabilities, receive timely medical attention, legal support, and dignity. The Supreme Court’s intervention reflects a crucial step toward upholding the constitutional and human rights of marginalized individuals. However, the gaps in implementation of laws like the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and victim compensation schemes remain deeply concerning. Strengthening accessibility, accountability, and survivor-centric legal processes is essential. Ensuring holistic rehabilitation — including medical, emotional, and financial support — should not be an exception but the norm. As society and the legal system move forward, justice must be both inclusive and compassionate. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?
