Kapil Sibal Writes : We Are Witnessing Undeclared Emergency & Courts Are Silent Kapil Sibal, Senior Advocate 27 Nov 2023 https://www.livelaw.in/articles/kapil-sibal-writes-we-are-witnessing-undeclared-emergency-courts-are-silent-243104 & https://www.newindianexpress.com/opinions/2023/nov/26/courts-are-on-trial-in-undeclared-emergency-2636427.amp
We are watching in disbelief the way institutional independence is being jeopardised. Citizens who choose to oppose policies and diktats of this government are being targeted. ‘Jail not bail’ seems to have become the norm in certain ‘sensitive’ cases where individuals are critical of the government and its policies. They include journalists, students, academics and those working at the grassroots and espousing the cause of the underprivileged and the marginalised.
it is of great concern that basic principles of law are jettisoned to deny people liberty. How does a judge justify admitting evidence statements made to a police officer and using these to convict the accused? Students are languishing in jail under draconian provisions of law merely because they chose to stand up and be counted, opposing the government and its policies. Journalists and students are being prosecuted under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act through investigating processes which are clearly highly suspect. Provisions of the Gangsters Act are misused to exploit the victims.
