On blocking 12 Indian accounts, X told the Union government that the order was disproportionate, unlawful, and lacking sufficient evidence to invoke Section 69A of IT Act. It also urged the Centre for orders to unblock the handles. @onkeyta_altnews.in/x-calls-centre…
Supreme Court has no spine !!
Every corrupt person/politician/ Bureaucrat is given shelter by same judiciary. They all protect each other while common man suffer in everyday life.
@DrCalumMiller This Sister had her face smeared with cake and tied and beaten in the Indian State of Orissa last Christmas, where Rev Graham Staines and his minor sons were burn alive, all because she wanted to share a Christmas cake with her neighbour.
West Bengal's 2026 electoral rolls are 'public' for the record. But they are published as scanned image PDFs, behind CAPTCHAs, with watermarks obscuring voter names. You can't search them. You can't analyse them. And that's not an accident. @Holytripperaltnews.in/bengal-sir-the…
The ECI already holds this data in structured form. It chose to release scanned images instead — effectively locking out public scrutiny. We broke that barrier. Here's everything we found, in full, open to verification: sir-data-decoded.altnews.in
This is hypocrisy at best! If the Supreme Court has held that the Speaker of a House becomes a “Tribunal” while deciding disqualification petitions and is therefore subject to its judicial orders and contempt jurisdiction, then, by the same logic, West Bengal’s judicial officers ought to cease to act as “judicial officers” when functioning as Election Registration Officers (EROs). So why should objections to the conduct or tactics of EROs be treated as contempt of the Supreme Court?
The Court cannot curtail citizens’ right to peaceful protest after stepping into the field and simultaneously claim that protests against these officials---who are, in this context, performing executive functions---amount to contempt just because they are judicial officers in another capacity. And why is Chief Justice Surya Kant’s bench administering the SIR process in this manner at all, when it is not even the Court’s constitutional responsibility? The entire state judiciary has been thrown into this deeply political exercise, just days before the election!

The manner in which Chief Justice Surya Kant’s bench is handling the #BengalSIR matter does not augur well for the institution at all. The apex court is increasingly being perceived as an active player in West Bengal’s politics, especially after today’s order directing an NIA investigation. Instead of deciding the constitutionality of the SIR process and laying down clear limits on the powers of a clearly partisan Election Commission, Chief Justice Kant’s bench appears to have taken a keen interest in ADMINISTERING the process itself, effectively ensuring that the SIR proceeds without any hindrance. The companion judges on the bench, Justices Joymala Bagchi and Vipul Pancholi, have taken no objection to this approach, which is all the more disquieting. Certain observations from the bench, for instance, one not able to vote in this election can vote in the next, reflects a totally cavalier approach to serious allegations of mass disenfranchisement. These have only deepened concerns and invited further criticism of the court. At a time when the capture of a constitutional institution like the Election Commission is complete, the manner in which the Supreme Court has proceeded in this politically fraught matter raises dangerous questions about the role it is choosing to play.
The Court’s INACTION and delay in the AAP-Delhi constitutional crisis created conditions that enabled a political outcome favourable to the BJP. In the Bengal matter, however, the Court is not inactive, but ACTIVELY engaged in a manner that may have significant political consequences for yet another opposition-led government. The Supreme Court’s role is to create a just, fair, and equal level playing field to the greatest extent possible. In the Bengal SIR case, the Court is being seen as creating something totally opposite.
Chief Justice Kant’s bench ought to have confined itself to deciding the legality of the SIR process, particularly given that it was initiated just months before an election with great hurry, leading to mass disenfranchisement of citizens, rather than allowing the judiciary, including the state judiciary, to become entangled in the administration of a politically sensitive process. The use of judicial officers for the SIR process, the appointment of High Court judges as appellate authorities, etc. is the greatest sign of how the Supreme Court is being run like a Khap Panchayat. These do nothing but risk doing grave disservice to the institution of the judiciary, whose credibility ultimately rests on public trust and a perception of unimpeachable integrity. Once that image erodes, only chaos reigns supreme. Chief Justice Kant’s bench have totally ignored and disregarded these dangerous concerns. Might I add that equally troubling is the silence of the Bar, which is meant to act as a check on the Bench.
Whichever way the Bengal elections unfold, the role of the Supreme Court judges in this episode will not be forgotten.
