Madras High Court bans protests that ‘abuse, defame’ sitting judges, threaten judiciary
Mumbai - The Bombay High Court has ruled that the arrest of activist Arun Ferreira in September 2011 was unlawful and ordered the Maharashtra government to pay him ₹2 lakh in compensation. Ferreira, who is also an accused in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon case, is currently on bail. The court criticized the police for branding Ferreira as absconding, despite his incarceration since 2007. They deemed his arrest upon his release from prison as a violation of constitutional rights.
