The Story

The Supreme Court has issued a stay on High Court proceedings that challenged the Sahyog Portal and its online content-blocking powers. The court's decision halts further legal action at the High Court level concerning these powers. This development comes as the Supreme Court continues to oversee various legal matters, including probes and challenges to oaths. Previously, the Supreme Court had ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to expand its probe into a builder-bank subvention scheme scam. This expansion includes sharing details of criminal cases with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and emphasizes the need for timely investigations. The court also considered the potential transfer of a bribery probe against ED officer Ankit Tiwari to a central agency. In a separate matter, the Supreme Court stayed the arrest of Abhishek Banerjee's aide, Sumit Roy, in connection with a land case in Salboni. The court's actions reflect its ongoing engagement with a range of legal and investigative matters across different jurisdictions and sectors. Separately, the Supreme Court of Canada agreed to hear a constitutional challenge regarding an oath requiring prospective lawyers in Alberta to swear allegiance to the King. This oath dates back over a century. Additionally, public bodies have been directed to enforce a Supreme Court ruling on biological sex. Looking ahead, the implications of the stay on the Sahyog Portal challenges will likely unfold as the Supreme Court takes up the matter for further consideration.
