Citing principles of secularism & constitutionalism, SC dismisses Ashwini Upadhyay's PIL and refuses to let him file a detailed note or move any govt authority.
Besides seeking to put photograph of candidates on EVMs, the plea said that such a move will help electors vote and support intelligent and diligent candidates.
PIL filed by BJP spokesperson in SC has sought a stop to parties promising & distributing ‘irrational freebies’ during poll campaigns. CJI proposes setting up a panel to look into issue.
The top court also rejected a separate plea of the assaulter, a defrocked priest, seeking bail on the ground that he wanted to marry the survivor, who was a minor at the time of rape.
The plea, filed by a former army officer, stated the sedition law is an unreasonable restriction on free expression and should be unequivocally and unambiguously struck down.
The apex court declined to interfere, stating that the PIL petitioners had selectively targeted Central Vista Project amid other public projects which were allowed during lockdown.
The petitioner said the High Court was not justified in terming the plea 'motivated' without any evidence & that allowing construction in the pandemic was 'serious health concern'
The petitioners said that the continuation of the Central Vista project was concerning in view of the 'crumbling' healthcare system and a risk to the lives of workers employed.

Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
