@Rezang_La 💯 My constitutional law professor @RandyEBarnett once mentioned that judges confuse the “duty” of judicial review with the “power” of judicial review. While public officials always tend to expand something they think is a power, they’ll never think the same about a duty.
@nishu_thakurIND@iaayushpandey Originalism is not properly understood in India. Judges think it is original intent originalism. That version of originalism was discarded long back in the US. Judges use that discarded theory as a straw-man to attack originalism and justify why they shouldn’t follow it.
There is no law criminalising abusive language. Period. Nonetheless, it is immoral to abuse someone. Period. Today, you’re the accuser, tomorrow you can be the accused. Beware!
@AnirbanSen There is no defamation when someone is abused. No reasonable person would think that a person is actually a “motherf***er” when hurled with such an abusive word.
@iaayushpandey There is also no coherent Indic legal movement to begin with. The root cause: the original public meaning model is incompatible with how organisations linked to the movement approach the constitution. For them, constitution and the rights it guarantees is an anathema!
@iaayushpandey The fundamental problem with Indic legal movement is that even they believe in the living constitution theory when it suits them. And let’s not compare some of the organisations mentioned here with FedSoc. Of course, they well exceed the intellectual heft of FedSoc 🤪
Fact-checker @zoo_bear is begging for donations. I will make sure he gets his entire year’s requirements.
All he has to do is to fact-check publicly whether what Nupur said is derived from Sunan an-Nasa'i 3378; Vol. 4, B 26, Hadith 3380.
Take the challenge, Zubair. "Be a man."
Dainik Bhaskar journalist went undercover as a laborer in a flour mill in UP and exposed a rotten system that's playing with people's health.
Operators in mills across Agra, Firozabad are mixing stone powder from Rajasthan into atta, increasing their earnings by 70–80 paise per kg i.e. 7k-8k extra per day. These adulterated flour, sold under brands like Maharaja Bhog Atta, is even reaching school mid-day meals. These calcium carbonate can clog intestines and damage the liver and kidneys.
Being in the D2C industry, I'm aware of many brands who do these kinds of things just to save margins and make more money. We keep calling them out, but this looks much bigger.
Government and FSSAI need to act and take control. Consumer health should never be compromised for profit.

Why just right wing? - mostly all senior advocates. The senior bar cares only about their precious gymkhana and the pecuniary jurisdiction of the Delhi High Court. Nothing else bothers them.
VIDEO | Delhi: Addressing a press conference along with CJP spokesperson Saurav Das, Independent Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal says, "This CJP will create a framework to track what happened at which place, which student or protester was affected, and what action has been taken against them. It will also identify lawyers who can help. They will create a website where lawyers willing to provide legal assistance can register their names, location and the kind of help they can offer. I will contribute Rs. 1 crore, and urge lawyers across India and others to also contribute to this fund so that wherever the law is misused and false cases are filed against peaceful protesters, we will stand with them. Our lawyers will support them across India."

Who will tell them how criminal cases can be lawfully closed? They think criminal proceedings are a matter of contract between the State and the CJP. It is anything but that.
