John Doe injunctions, known as ‘Ashok Kumar orders’ in India, were meant to stop piracy, but are now being weaponised to silence journalists, publishers and activists.
Gag order triggered two separate appeals, one by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, and the other by the four journalists. Different bench reserved order on Thakurta’s appeal earlier in the day.
Administrators, policymakers, and senior journalists gathered to celebrate Chintan Research Foundation’s first foundation day. The panel included Adani Group’s Pranav Adani and former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant.
Mumbai HC has earlier upheld Adani Group's tender for Dharavi redevelopment, ruling no 'arbitrariness, unreasonableness, or perversity' in the decision.
Sri Lanka President Anura Kumara Dissanayake had said he would cancel the deal if elected, but instead he revoked the PPA with Adani & renegotiated for lower energy prices.
Singapore's Wilmar will acquire Adani's 31% stake; proceeds from sale will be used to boost the Indian conglomerates growth in core infrastructure platforms.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
While Pakistani authorities have not clarified what intended target was, the incident adds to a troubling pattern of PAF strikes killing civilians, including women and children.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
ThePrint chooses it’s battles very cleverly. Where was the outrage when the Supreme Court watered down the anti-stray dog verdict? It simply didn’t care for two reasons-
1. The Editor/Founder Mr. Shekhar Gupta personally loves stray dogs and has been a long time champion for all kinds of idiotic animal rights.
2. It was very clearly a battle between the elites and the common man. The elites just love stray dogs and indulge them with food and what not.
Unfortunately, for the common man, a stray dog represents a serious threat to the safety and security of his family, especially kids and the elderly. Kids being mauled to death by gangs of strays are a regular occurrence in India.
These elites, including the likes of Mr. Gupta, threw in all their might in the battle to “save” stray dogs. The Supreme Court, as is the norm, bowed before the combined might of the elites of Indian society.
Who lost? The common man – who is eternally worried about his kids safety and security. Who himself gets chased by such dogs every now and then while going to or returning from the office or the market.
The elites won at the cost of the aam aadmi.
But ThePrint showed no outrage. Rather, it was at the forefront of the pro-dog media coverage.
In this case (the one referred to in the article), again the elites (Adani, etc.) won. At whose expense? Of course, the common man (Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, etc.)
But now ThePrint haa decided to go hammer and tongs at the Indian judiciary for protecting the elites.
It’s really a weird world that we live in.
