(Clockwise) Bilkis Bano, Salman Rushdie. T Raja Singh, and Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary. The Supreme Court heard four key cases today. The bench led by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, who is set to retire tomorrow, agreed to hear a petition challenging the remission granted to 11 convicts in the Biliks Bano case. The court issued a notice to the Gujarat government and issued directions to implead the released convicts.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court-appointed technical committee, which probed allegations of unauthorised use of Israeli NSO Group spyware Pegasus for surveillance, examined 29 phones and found some malware in five of them, but “it doesn’t mean it is a malware of Pegasus,” said CJI Ramana. What has the committee found? To recall, what was the Pegasus case? Read here.
The top court also agreed to review the July 27 judgment upholding the Constitutional validity of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The court will review two key aspects of the verdict — sharing the Enforcement Case Information Report and reversal of the presumption of innocence.
The Supreme Court-appointed committee which probed the security breach during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Punjab in January this year has indicted the then Ferozepur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP). The committee said he “…failed to discharge his responsibilities to maintain law and order…or take any steps for deployment to strengthen the route…” taken by Modi.
In its first reaction to the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, India today condemned the “horrific attack” on the acclaimed author and wished him a speedy recovery. “India has always stood against violence and extremism. We condemn the horrific attack on Salman Rushdie and we wish him a speedy recovery,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. Rushdie was stabbed in the neck and torso at the Chautauqua Institution in New York on August 12.
