Prophet Row: Supreme Court Grants Nupur Sharma Relief from Arrest
In the instance of offensive remarks made about Prophet Muhammad, the Supreme Court ruled that until August 10th, no action should be done against former BJP leader Nupur Sharma.
Nupur Sharma received protection from arrest from Justice Suryakant and Justice Partywala bench after asserting that her life was in danger.
The Supreme Court has affirmed that this ruling is binding in all subsequent cases. The Center has sent letters to Delhi, West Bengal, Maharashtra, and other states in response to Nupur Sharma’s request to have all the cases brought against her transferred to a single court. The respondents must respond by August 10 at the latest, according to the Supreme Court. On August 10, the court will take up the subject for an additional hearing.
The Union Home Minister has alerted the states of the country in the wake of the Indo-Pak War. The Telangana government and police, which were immediately alerted, took preemptive measures. Security has been tightened in Hyderabad.
Thirty-two airports across northern and western parts of the country, including Srinagar and Amritsar, have been closed for civilian flight operations till May 15, according to the civil aviation regulator.
In view of the ongoing high alert across India and intensified security arrangements in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the city police have issued a ban on bursting firecrackers or fireworks in public spaces, particularly near military cantonment areas.
India responded strongly to Pakistan’s repeated drone and missile attacks and hit at least eight military targets inside Pakistan on Friday night with precision, thereby causing significant damage, the Centre told the media, as part of a special briefing on ‘Operation Sindoor’.
