On Tuesday, amid allegations of police excesses, former Supreme Court judge Madan Lokur said that the judiciary will have to ensure that the police administration does not exceed the limits of its rights in the investigation and act impartially. He said that this law is being misused to file sedition cases against journalists. He cautioned that the magistrate's court should not blindly rely on the prosecution.
We were addressing a webinar organized on the subject 'Impact of criminalization of journalism'. He said that the laws are being misinterpreted at the time of investigation and while filing the charge sheet. The judiciary needs to be more vigilant.
Parents have filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the waiving of three months (from April 1 to June) fees of private schools during the lockdown and to regulate the fees till regular school starts.
