Supreme Court To Urgently Hear Cartoonist's Plea Over PM-RSS Caricature
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to urgently hear an anticipatory bail request by an Indore-based cartoonist who faces a police case for posting a caricature of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS online with a link to Lord Shiva in the comments. Hemant Malviya was denied anticipatory bail by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Advocate Vrinda Grover has told the top court, adding that the caricature was published in 2021 during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Urging the top court to take up the matter urgently, Ms Grover, appearing for Mr Malviya, said that the High Court has said that the Supreme Court's landmark judgements in Arnesh Kumar and Imran Pratapgarhia's case would not apply to Mr Malviya. The police case was filed against Mr Malviya in Indore on May 21, based on a complaint by Vinay Joshi, an RSS worker and advocate, for allegedly posting objectionable content about the RSS, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Lord Shiva. He has been charged under relevant sections of the BNS for promoting communal disharmony, outraging religious feelings, provoking breach of peace, and the IT Act. The offence is punishable by three years, and the maximum punishment can go up to five years, Mr Grover pointed out. Dismissing his anticipatory bail petition, the Madhya Pradesh High Court had on July 3 said that the applicant had overstepped the threshold of freedom of speech and expression and doesn't appear to know his limits. "This court is of the considered opinion that the custodial interrogation of the applicant would be necessary," Justice Subodh Abhyankar had said. The court had further observed that the conduct of Mr Malviya in depicting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), along with the country's prime minister, coupled with his endorsement of a demeaning remark, amounted to misuse of speech and expression. Derogatory remarks involving Lord Shiva made the post more unsettling, the court said, adding that the applicant not only endorsed it but encouraged others to experiment with the caricature. This cannot be said to be made in good taste or faith, it added. In its five-page order, the high court also observed that his act was deliberate and malicious, intended to outrage the religious feelings of the public. Before the High Court hearing, a sessions court in Indore had rejected Mr Malviya's anticipatory bail plea on May 24.

Former Auburn forward Isaac Okoro traded to the Chicago Bulls
Former Auburn star forward Isaac Okoro is being traded by Cleveland for Chicago's Lonzo Ball A former Auburn basketball star is on the move. On Saturday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Chicago Bulls would be trading guard Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for small forward Isaac Okoro. It is questionable trade for Cleveland considering the injury history for Ball. Okoro is a reliable defensive player that also has value from the three-point line. Ball will go to a backup role with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 2024 season was the fifth season in the NBA for Okoro. He averaged 6.1 points per game and was 37% from the three-point range. For his career he is averaging 8.1 points and has a three-point percentage of 35%. His best year as a professional was the 2020-21 season when he scored 9.6 points and averaged 3.1 rebounds. Okoro was drafted by Cleveland with the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He played just one season for the Auburn Tigers. During the 2019-20 season he played 28 games and started each one. He averaged 12.9 points per game and 4.4 rebounds. Auburn finished that season with a 25-6 record and appeared ready to make another run to the Final Four. All postseason events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Auburn made their surprising run to the Final Four the previous season in 2019. Okoro should see more playing time in Chicago versus what he saw in Cleveland this past season. He averaged just 19.1 minutes a game after averaging 27.1 the year prior. His playing looked to diminish each year after averaging 32.4 minutes during his rookie season.
