Observations of the Ld. Sessions Court, Mehsana while acquitting 10 accused including MLA Jignesh Mevani, Subodh Parmar, Reshma Patel and Kaushik Parmar.

Para 30.
" This court is of the view that right of freedom enshrined in the constitution is not only for academic purpose but in fact it is the founding stone of democractic nation. In the democratic set up, deliberations, discussions, debates and bonifide dissent against policies of government and even bonafide criticism of in action of government are essential for existence of democracy in nation.
It would be worth to note that nowadays misuse of power of statutory authority and misuse of process of law for suppressing voice of people and showing dominance of power is not unknown even in democratic set up. Therefore this court reminds that it is the pious duty of ruler of every democratic nation to protect right of freedoms of citizens without any fear of criticism for survival of ethos of democracy in the nation because in democratic set up elected leaders are not meant to rule over the people but in fact they are meant to serve the people of nation. Moreover, this court is also of the view that if in democratic set up every dissent and peaceful protest is branded as offence then right of freedom no place in democratic set up.

Para 31 - hence in view of aforesaid factual background of case this court is of the view that entire case of prosecution is baseless and without any substance or evidence. In the result accused are required to acquitted from offence and thus imunged judgement of conviction passed by learned trial court deserves to be set aside "

अमित शाह की पुलिस ने 5400 बार फर्जी 144 धारा लगाईं, Misuse of Section 144, imposed 6K times in Delhi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4qzG5uuAkA

Section 144 imposed 6K times in Delhi in 2021-22 for mostly mundane tasks like installing CCTVs: Study  https://www.indiatoday.in/law/story/section-144-imposed-6000-times-in-delhi-in-2021-22-for-mostly-mundane-tasks-like-installing-cctvs-study-2352039-2023-03-27  A new report, ‘The Use & Misuse of Section 144 CrPC’, has found that 6,100 prohibitory orders were issued in the national capital in 2021-2022. The report launched in the presence of the former Chief Justice of India (CJI) UU Lalit and senior advocate Rebecca John has been compiled by four lawyers, including Vrinda Bhandari, Abhinav Sekhri, Natasha Maheshwari, and Madhav Aggarwal. The report has studied 5,400 out of the 6,100 orders issued, as the remaining 700 orders were not provided to lawyers citing ‘national interest’. The report categorises the orders into four segments: establishing CCTV surveillance, regulating business (through compulsory record and register of documents), securing public order (whether through preventing/regulating unlawful assembly or regulation of kite flying, firecrackers, or hookah bars), and outliers. The report found that the maximum number of orders were passed for installing CCTV cameras, which constitute more than 25% of the total. The highest number of orders were issued to install CCTVs inside and outside NBFCs, courier operators, girls' schools, and paying guests.

“State surveillance is being supplemented by a vast parallel network of private actors being asked to install CCTVs — ATMs, banks, NBFCs and other financial institutions, liquors vends, courier services, girls’ schools and PGs, hotels, amusement parks and cinema halls,” it noted.

“In effect, we have with us a setup where Big Brother is always watching, whether we are watching a movie with a friend or sending a package to a loved one,” states the report, which includes Vrinda Bhandari and Madhav Aggrawal as authors.

‘Time to challenge it’

‘Conferring drastic powers upon the executive through Section 144 unacceptable’   https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/conferring-drastic-powers-upon-the-executive-through-section-144-unacceptable/article66664919.ece 

Senior advocate Rebecca Mammen John said the time has come to challenge the constitutional validity of the prohibitory orders. “Section 144 is an emergency provision to prevent rioting, and maintain tranquillity and peace. But as per this report, the State uses it to snoop on regular life,” she said at the event. Ms. John noted she was unaware of this CrPC Section being used as “creatively” as had been highlighted in the report.“Time has come for us to revisit it in the court. Because this is not a power with any judicial oversight and scrutiny. This is a completely executive power,” she said.

A disturbing example of the normalisation of lawfare https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/a-disturbing-example-of-the-normalisation-of-lawfare/article66672779.ece March 29, 2023

The case of the former Wayanad MP also spotlights the danger courts could face to their legitimacy — namely, losing their reputation for impartiality between contending political forces.... the conviction and disqualification of Mr. Gandhi represents another signpost in a concerning drift towards the normalisation of lawfare as a political tactic. It is concerning because one crucial component of the legitimacy of courts is their reputation for impartiality between contending political forces. Recent examples from Poland and Hungary have shown how quickly that reputation can be lost. It is for the judiciary to ensure that what could also happen here, does not happen here.

Victory at the Ninth Circuit: Twitter’s Content Moderation is Not “State Action”https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/victory-ninth-circuit-twitters-content-moderation-not-state-action BY MUKUND RATHIMARCH 24, 2023

the Ninth Circuit held that Twitter did not act as the government by banning a user months after a government agency flagged for Twitter one of his tweets on alleged election fraud. O’Handley v. Weber is the latest decision rejecting social media users’ attempts to hold platforms liable for deleting, demonetizing, and otherwise moderating their content.

Twitter is a private entity, so the government and the courts cannot tell it what speech it must remove or what speech it must carry. The First Amendment restricts censorship only by the government, not private entities, unless those entities are using government power or otherwise effectively acting as the government.
