Of cameras and courtrooms
On Wednesday, some Supreme Court judges were hearing suggestions from the Bar to prevent unruly scenes at the court of the Delhi magistrate hearing the remand proceedings of Kanhaiya Kumar, the arrested student union leader of Jawaharlal Nehru University. As the magistrate's court can accommodate only around 20 people, according to the counsel for the Delhi High Court, one suggestion was to telecast the proceedings. But the judges rejected the idea, observing that it was a "larger issue", which could not be decided at that juncture. Judiciary, the world over, has resisted the entry of cameras into courtrooms. During a recent Supreme Court proceeding, when a lawyer started shouting slogans, the judges had to remind the counsels railing at each other that "this is not a boxing ring".
'Dog' days
Amid the controversy over the Centre's crackdown on students of Jawaharlal Nehru University and the arrest of its student union president Kanhaiya Kumar over allegations of sedition last week, bestselling author Chetan Bhagat tweeted on Monday, "Every dog that barks need not be arrested. What they did was wrong, but sedition charges (are a) bit too much #JNU." Last year, Minister of State for External AffairsV K Singh had said the government couldn't be blamed "if somebody throws a stone at a dog" as he sought to dismiss the killing of two Dalit children in a Haryana village as an isolated incident. In an interview to Reuters in 2013, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, then the Gujarat chief minister, used the analogy of a puppy to describe his pain, when asked about the deaths during the 2002 Godhra riots.
