The Supreme Court Friday granted protection from arrest to Editor of OpIndia website, Nupur Sharma for four weeks in a case registered against her by the Tamil Nadu Police
Prophet Mohammad remarks row: Former BJP Spokesperson Nupur Sharma has approached Supreme Court seeking a stay on her arrest in the FIRs registered against her for the alleged hate statement against Prophet Mohammad.
The Supreme Court's judgments in the cases of Zakia Jafri and Nupur Sharma are a study in contrast; one in which observations in court supplanted the main arguments of the petitioner, and the other, where the court proceedings were virtually left out.
The Supreme Court on Friday asked Nupur Sharma why she filed a petition under a deceptive name. The former BJP spokesperson had filed a petition under the name NV Sharma.
