NewsClick Case | SC Judgment In 'Pankaj Bansal' On Informing Grounds Of Arrest In Writing Not Applicable To UAPA: Delhi High Court https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/delhi-high-court/delhi-high-court-supreme-court-pankaj-bansal-uapa-grounds-of-arrest-newsclick-prabir-240075

directing ED to inform grounds of arrest in writing to the accused , cannot be said to be squarely applicable to a case arising under UAPA. Justice Tushar Rao Gedela held that under UAPA, the grounds of arrest need to be informed to the arrestee within 24 hours of such arrest, however furnishing of such grounds in written are not mandated under the enactment.

Thus, the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in Pankaj Bansal (supra) while relying upon V. Senthil Balaji (supra) which was purely in relation to the provisions of PMLA cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be made applicable, mutatis mutandis, to the cases arising under UAPA,”

 Supreme Court Pauses 'Bulldozer Actions', Orders That No Demolition Should Take Place Without Its Permission https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supreme-court-bulldozer-action-against-house-of-persons-accused-of-crime-269797  "Till next date there shall be no demolitions without seeking leave of this court. However such order would not be applicable for unauthorised constructions on public streets, footpaths, abutting railway lines or public spaces," the Court ordered

Notably, Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta raised objections to the Court's order, saying that the hands of statutory authorities can't be tied in this manner. However, the bench refused to relent, saying that "heavens won't fall" if the demolitions are stopped for two weeks. "Stay your hands. What will happen in 15 days?", Justice Gavai asked...

The SG, however, argued that a "narrative" was being built that a particular community was being targeted. "The narrative has appealed to your lordships," he said. In response, Justice Viswanathan said, "outside noises" are not influencing the Court: "Outside noise not influencing us. We won't get into question of...which community...at this point. Even if there is one instance of illegal demolition, it is against ethos of the Constitution".

बुलडोज़र नहीं चलेगा। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा है कि बिना उसकी इजाज़त के बुलडोज़र नहीं चलाया जाएगा। अब राजनीति के तहत सांप्रदायिक संतुष्टिकरण के लिए किसी मुसलमान के घर पर बुलडोज़र चलाना मुश्किल हो जाएगा। न जाने कितने लोगों के घर इस तरह से गिरा दिए गए, हौसला इतना बढ़ गया कि ज़िले ज़िले के अफसर अपना संवैधानिक दायित्व भूल गए और सरकार को खुश करने के लिए घर गिराने लगे। जिनके घर गिराए गए ज्यादातर मुसलमान थे। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने एक अक्तूबर तक बुलडोज़र से डिमोलिशन पर रोक लगाकर अंतिम राहत तो नहीं दी है लेकिन बड़ी राहत ज़रूर दी है।
