The Bombay High Court today directed the Election Commission to immediately conduct by-election to the Pune Lok Sabha seat which has been vacant since March 29, 2023, after the death of Member of Parliament Girish Bapat.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that the rules do not prohibit any express of opinion or critical analysis against government but is only intended to rein in false news.
Making police independent of political executive is a real struggle much like the struggle for independence, Bombay High Court judge Justice Gautam Patel said on Friday.
The Court said that such complaints are used to intimidate and browbeat the opposing counsel so as to ensure that the opponent does not get adequate or proper legal representation.
