How has the Supreme Court treated Ali Khan Mahmudabad?
Does it have the power to gag him? Or has it overreached itself?
Should it have questioned whether Section 152 of the BNS applies rather than simply accept it does and hand the matter to a SIT for further investigation? Should he have been told to surrender his passport when clearly he is not a flight risk? And could the wide-ranging comments by the two judges have prejudiced the case?

SC sets aside Madras HC directive to arrest Tamil Nadu ADGP Jayaram, transfers probe to CB-CID
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday set aside an order of the Madras High Court that had directed Tamil Nadu Police to 'secure and take action' against now-suspended Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) H.M. Jayaram in connection with the abduction of an 18-year-old teenager. Given the 'controversial circumstances' and no objection offered by the Tamil Nadu government, a Bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan directed that the matter be handed over to CB-CID (Crime Branch- Criminal Investigation Department) for further investigation. The Justice Bhuyan-led Bench was dealing with a special leave petition (SLP) filed by the senior IPS official seeking a stay on the impugned Madras High Court directive. During the course of the hearing on Wednesday, the apex court raised eyebrows over the suspension order issued by the Tamil Nadu Home Department and asked the state government's counsel to seek instructions on the withdrawal of the ADGP Jayaram's suspension. 'He is a senior police official. Where is the question of suspending him when he has joined the investigation? You cannot do this. This is very demoralising,' the Justice Bhuyan-led bench had remarked. After obtaining instructions from the Tamil Nadu government, senior advocate Siddharth Dave, on Thursday, submitted that ADGP Jayaram was suspended following his involvement in the alleged crime and not pursuant to the impugned order of the Madras High Court. Dave stated that the All India Service Rules provided for the suspension of an official until the completion of the probe. In view of the state government's stand, the top court, in its order, recorded that the petitioner (ADGP Jayaram) would have the option to avail his remedies against the suspension order. Further, the Justice Bhuyan-led Bench asked the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court to assign the alleged abduction case to a different Bench. On Monday, Tamil Nadu Police took ADGP Jayaram into custody as he exited the Madras High Court premises, and was immediately taken to Thiruvalangadu police station for interrogation. The senior IPS official is accused of facilitating the abduction of a minor boy by allegedly providing his official vehicle to a gang involved in forcibly separating a couple. The abduction case centres around a complaint lodged by a woman named Lakshmi, whose elder son had married a woman from Theni district against her family's wishes. The couple reportedly went into hiding, fearing retaliation. In an attempt to locate the couple, members of the woman's family, allegedly aided by hired men, barged into Lakshmi's home and abducted her younger son in their absence. The boy was later found abandoned near a hotel, injured and traumatised. Subsequent investigation revealed that an official car linked to ADGP Jayaram was allegedly used in the abduction, prompting the Madras High Court to take direct, immediate action against the senior IPS official. On Tuesday, the matter reached the Supreme Court, and a bench of Justices Bhuyan and Manmohan agreed to hear the SLP on June 18. His lawyer said: "Yesterday, an ADGP rank officer was arrested on the direction of the Madras High Court. The SLP has been filed today at 10 a.m. Kindly list the matter for urgent hearing." As per the SLP filed before the apex court, there was absolutely no material on record warranting his custodial interrogation, and the 'arbitrary and prejudicial directions' were issued without due process, infringing his fundamental right to equality before the law and protection of life and personal liberty. Pertinently, the state's government on Wednesday submitted before the top court that ADGP Jayaram was not arrested since he joined the investigation.

Ready To Give Protection To 'Thug Life' Makers, Karnataka Tells Supreme Court
New Delhi: As a bitter language row threatens the release of Kamal Haasan-starrer Thug Life in Karnataka, the state government has informed the Supreme Court that it is ready to extend security to the makers of the movie and its cast. The filmmakers, however, are reluctant to release the movie in the state two weeks after it hit the screens worldwide. "In the event producers of the film decide to release the movie in Karnataka, the State Government is duty bound and will give protection and security for such release and for the people connected therewith, including the cast, director, producers, the exhibitors, and the audience," the state government said in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court. The state government's response came after the court cleared the movie's release in Karnataka two days ago. The matter will be heard later today. Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, faced protests from pro-Kannada groups over Mr Hassan's controversial remarks at an event last month that "Kannada was born out of Tamil." Facing protests by pro-Kannada groups, the ace actor claimed his remark was "misunderstood" and "taken out of context". He refused to apologise and went to court after the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce threatened not to allow his movie's release in Karnataka. The film was released worldwide on June 5 but has not been screened in Karnataka so far. Venkatesh Kamalakar, the film's distributor in Karnataka, told PTI that it does not make sense to release the film now since Mr Hassan's remarks had hurt the sentiments of the Kannadigas. It may not be a good business decision to release it now, he said. His reluctance followed the Supreme Court's strong remarks that the rule of law allows a person to release his film with a censor board certificate. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had then appealed to Kannada activists to respect the court's decision and not take the law into their hands. "We have to abide by the Supreme Court order with honour. Everyone has limitations. I appeal to various organisations that we must have our limitations...I appeal to all the Kannada activists, please be calm, we should respect the court," he had said.

'Who Will Go To Theatres If Threats Are Given?' Supreme Court On Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' Row
Last Updated: The court observed that it is the duty of the state to ensure mobs who threaten people are taken to task The Supreme Court on Thursday came down heavily on the Karnataka government and asked it to allow the release of Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life', saying that 'it is the duty of the state to ensure these mobs who threaten people are taken to task". 'If threats are given, who will go to theatres?" the court asked, adding that the state has filed an affidavit categorically stating it has not imposed any restriction on the release of the movie. Karnataka has informed the Supreme Court that it is ready to extend security to the movie's makers and cast but filmmakers are hesitant about releasing the movie in the state two weeks after its worldwide release. As the counsel noted that sentiments were running high in the state, the court said: 'This [issue of] sentiments being hurt. There will be no end to it. Because of these should movies be stopped? Should stand-up comedians be stopped? Poets should not recite poems? In India, there will be no end to hurting sentiments."
