|October 17, 2023
NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and its human resources department head Amit Chakravarty on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking urgent hearing against the Delhi high court's refusal to interfere with their arrest and police remand in a case lodged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud took note of the submissions of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Purkayastha and Chakravarty, that the matter needed urgent hearing and asked him to write to the court's registry for the same as per the standard operating procedure (SOP). "...The journalists are in police custody. Here one of the accused is a 75-year-old man," Sibal said.
The CJI assured Sibal that he will take a call on the urgent listing. Till late on Monday, however, the cause list of the Supreme Court for Tuesday did not reflect the case.
