‘To be placed before CJI first’: SC on plea seeking sacking of ministers Malik, Jain
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that a plea, seeking direction to the governments of Maharashtra and Delhi for sacking of arrested ministers Nawab Malik and Satyendar Jain, would be listed for hearing after it is placed before Chief Justice N.V. Ramana.
As Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay mentioned the plea for urgent listing before a vacation bench of Justices C.T. Ravikumar and Sudhanshu Dhulia, the bench asked: “Did you make a mention (the plea) before the Registrar?….. Everyday we are saying ‘please make a mention before the registrar and even then, if it is not posted, mention it before us’.”
Upadhyay submitted that there is “serious violation” of Article 14 (equality before law) of the Constitution, and added that the Maharashtra minister is in judicial custody for 4 months while the Delhi minister was also in judicial custody for nearly 30 days. “Unfortunately, these ministers are public servants. There’s a serious violation of Article 14,” said Upadhyay.
The bench told Upadhyay that he should mention the plea before the Registrar and most probably it will be posted next week. “Such matters will be posted before the Chief Justice first, then only it will be listed,” it said.
The plea said: “Direct and declare that the Minister, who is not only a public servant under S. 21 of the IPC and S. 2(c) of the PCA (Prevention of Corruption Act) but also a lawmaker and takes constitutional oath under Schedule-3; shall be temporarily debarred from holding office, after 2 days in judicial custody (like IAS, Judges & other public servants are suspended from services).”
The plea also sought a direction to the Law Commission to examine election laws of developed countries and prepare a comprehensive report to maintain nobility and dignity of ministers, legislators and public servants in spirit of Article 14. Upadhyay filed the petition through advocate Ashwani Kumar Dubey.
The petitioner sought a direction to Maharashtra government to sack Malik who was arrested in February 2022 and continues in judicial custody in connection with cases of black money, benami properties, money laundering and disproportionate assets, linked with Mafia don Dawood Ibrahim. “Petitioner also seeks direction to Delhi Government to sack Cabinet Minister Satyendra Jain, who was arrested on May 31, 2022 and continues in judicial custody in connection with cases of black money, benami properties, ghost companies, money laundering and disproportionate assets,” added the plea.

Thane: 27-Year-Old Man Thrashed By Mob For Objecting To Public Urination In Kalyan

Thane: A 27-year-old man was brutally assaulted by a group of around 15 people after he questioned a drunk man for urinating in a public place near Murbad Road in Kalyan. The shocking incident occurred around 10:30 pm on Friday near Mhaskar Hospital Chowk.
The victim, Kaustubh Mahendra Yerpude, a resident of Murar Bagh, sustained serious injuries after one of the attackers struck him on the head with a beer bottle, causing heavy bleeding.
Kaustubh, who works at an insurance company in Mumbai, was returning home from Kalyan railway station on his two-wheeler along with his friend Sachin Dombe. When their bike stalled near Bhagwan Medical, they pushed it to a nearby repair shop. Exhausted and sweating, Kaustubh stepped into a dark corner near Rohit Wine Shop.
There, he encountered a 35-year-old drunk man urinating in public. When Kaustubh questioned the man’s behaviour, the man became aggressive and slapped him. An argument followed, but the drunk individual left shortly after, only to return with around 15 men, some reportedly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The group surrounded Kaustubh, verbally abused him, and then began beating him. One man smashed an empty beer bottle on Kaustubh’s head during the attack, as reported. Bleeding and injured, Kaustubh tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed by the mob. The attackers fled the scene after the assault.
This disturbing incident has sparked concern among residents, who are urging the Mahatma Phule Police to take swift and strict action. Citizens are demanding that police immediately check CCTV footage from the surrounding area, identify the attackers, and ensure their arrest without delay.
