Judges Vikram Nath and Satish Chandra Sharma’s bench declined to consider the petitions, arguing that the courts shouldn’t become involved in such cases.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court denied two petitions that asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take action against alleged hate speech made by political campaigners during the current general elections in 2024. The petitions targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The applications were turned down by a bench of justices Vikram Nath and Satish Chandra Sharma, who stated that the courts should not become involved in such cases.
“We have no desire to become involved. Article 32 (writ jurisdiction) prohibits us from giving such instructions. The judge abruptly halted the pleas that had been taken out of turn when the petitioners’ attorneys asked for an expedited hearing, declaring, “The petitions are dismissed.”
Additionally, the bench denied a request made by the petitioners’ attorney to be allowed to approach the relevant authorities or to state that the petitions were not being considered at this time. “We won’t give anything or any liberty. The bench instructed the attorneys to do it.
Under the Representation of the People Act, Fatima (who goes by one name) filed a writ suit demanding that PM Modi be disqualified from office due to his alleged “hate speech.” According to the petition, the PM must also face urgent consequences from the ECI for breaking the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
In her plea, Fatima mentions an event that happened on April 21, 2024, during which Prime Minister Modi is said to have said something at an election rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, that might promote animosity amongst religious communities and jeopardise the unity and integrity of the country. The petition said, “Over the last 30 days, a number of organisations and individuals have filed complaints with the ECI, but no meaningful action has been taken against PM Modi to date.”
The appeal also referenced an event that occurred on April 9, 2024, in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, whereby Prime Minister Modi purportedly took credit for constructing a Hindu temple and implored the electorate to endorse his political party by referencing Sikh and Hindu deities and places of worship.
The other petition asked for instructions for ECI to take action against hate remarks made by political campaigns. It was jointly submitted by former IIM Dean Trilochan Sastry and bureaucrat EAS Sarma.
This petition focused on remarks made by Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on April 27, 2024, and Prime Minister Modi on April 21, 2024, which were accused of demonising and stereotyping the Muslim people. The petition chastised the ECI for treating these breaches of the Model Code of Conduct so lightly. Sanjay Hegde, a senior attorney, entered this plea.
The Delhi High Court has demonstrated that it cannot oversee the operations of the ECI by dismissing at least two petitions calling for punishment against Prime Minister Modi for allegedly making hateful remarks during election campaigns.
According to the high court’s petitions, Prime Minister Modi’s remarks during the election campaigns were divisive and in violation of the Model Code of Conduct. But in its decision, the high court highlighted the independence and discretion granted to the ECI, emphasising that the court does not have the authority to direct the ECI on how to carry out its responsibilities.

Monday night’s meeting to assess the security situation in Manipur will be facilitated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This is the first high-level gathering of its kind held by the central government since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was re-elected earlier this month.
Senior representatives from the federal government, state governments, including chief minister N Biren Singh, the army, and other security agencies are anticipated to attend the meeting at 4 p.m., according to people with knowledge of the development.
Manipur has seen fighting between the Kukis and Meiteis communities since May 3 of last year. The fighting has resulted in at least 225 deaths to far and the displacement of almost 50,000 people, the majority of whom are still living in relief shelters.
The previous few weeks have seen new acts of violence in the northeastern state, including the burning of a school facility close to Moreh and the discovery of the beheaded body of a missing individual.
In the Kangpokpi district last week, armed terrorists assaulted the vehicle of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s enhanced security team, injuring a security officer and a civilian driver.
Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stated on June 10 that Manipur has been waiting for peace for a year and that this problem has to be given priority.
Bhagwat emphasised the importance of putting aside political hyperbole and concentrating on the issues confronting the country.
Dattatreya Hosabale, the general secretary of the RSS, called the current violence in Manipur “painful” and “worrisome.”
The Sangh, according to a statement, feels that the only way to solve any issue is “through mutual dialogue and expression of brotherhood in a peaceful atmosphere.”
In an attempt to mediate peace, Shah had earlier travelled to Manipur last month and convened nine talks with leaders of the Kuki and Meitei groups. Despite this, the violence has not decreased.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Varanasi, his home district in the Lok Sabha. This will be his first trip to the sacred city since taking office as the nation’s third prime minister.
At the historic Kashi Vishwanath temple, PM Modi is expected to engage with farmers and take part in Ganga Aarti.
What is currently known regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Varanasi is as follows:
For 4.5 hours, Prime Minister Modi will be in Varanasi. At roughly 4 p.m., he will touch down at Babatpur’s Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport.
Prior to releasing the 17th installment of the Samman Nidhi, which is intended to benefit 2,76,665 farmers in Kashi, PM Modi will attend a “Kisan Samelan.”
In order to commemorate the farmers in the area, PM Modi will meet with 21 of them at the Kisan Samelan and evaluate their products. BJP party officials are preparing for the visit.
The visit of Prime Minister Modi is a source of pride for the people of Varanasi, according to BJP president Dilip Patel. “We are all proud that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the oath of office three times—once as the nation’s prime minister and once as a member of the Varanasi assembly.”
Following his meeting with the farmers, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to attend the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat at the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
Vishwa Bhushan Mishra, the CEO of the Kashi Vishwanath temple, stated in an interview that they have a process for the Prime Minister’s visit. PM Modi is anticipated to spend about twenty-five minutes inside the temple.
Ajay Rai, Modi’s previous opponent for the Varanasi seat, criticised him, claiming that Modi was displacing natives with Gujaratis by handing all employment to them. Regarding the purported dearth of factories and development in the city, he questioned Modi.

Sunita Kejriwal is requested by the Delhi High Court to remove Arvind Kejriwal’s court footage from social media.
![](https://anyrscdn.b-cdn.net/publications/ihtlive/15th%20june%202024/final9.jpg)
The wife of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Sunita Kejriwal, has been ordered by the Delhi High Court to remove a video of her husband speaking to a Delhi court from her social media accounts. The social media companies have also been ordered by the court to remove posts that contain links to the video.
In addition, the high court has sent notices to all parties involved in the PIL, which was filed by lawyer Vaibhav Singh, alleging that Kejriwal’s appearance before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on March 28 violated the court’s regulations regarding video conferencing.
Among the five people requested to remove the social media posts is Sunita Kejriwal.
The court has set July 9 for the hearing.
On March 28, Arvind Kejriwal personally addressed Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja after being brought before the court a second time after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.
Sunita Kejriwal reposted the images after the audio and video recordings of the speech went viral on social media.
When films with comparable content are brought to their attention, the Delhi High Court ordered X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to remove them.
The notice on the PIL filed by the Delhi-based attorney Vaibhav Singh was issued by a division bench made up of Justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Amit Sharma.
After he disregarded nine summonses from the Enforcement Directorate, Arvind Kejriwal was taken into custody on March 21 in relation to the excise policy fraud. Subsequently, the Delhi High Court affirmed the agency’s decision.
Later, Arvind Kejriwal petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn his arrest.
In order to enable Kejriwal to campaign for his Aam Aadmi Party during the Lok Sabha elections, the Supreme Court granted him temporary release in May for a period of 21 days.
On June 2, he turned himself in to the Tihar Jail officials per the Supreme Court’s directive.
The former bureaucrat Sunita Kejriwal had spent a great deal of time campaigning for the AAP during the Lok Sabha elections. But the party was unable to secure a single seat in the nation’s capital.
