Supreme Court to CG Govt: Is call for revolution an offence?

New Delhi, May 31: The Supreme Court Tuesday granted bail to alleged Maoist
sympathiser Piyush Guha wondering whether a call for a revolution to reform
the society could be treated as an offence.

“A large number of material and news come to us. Similarly, such material
comes to you and this person also. If that is his ideology and he says
revolution is the only way to reform society, can we say that is an
offence?” vacation bench of justices G S Singhvi and C K Prasad said.

The apex court made the remarks after senior counsel U U Lalit, appearing
for Chhattisgarh government, opposed the bail on the ground that Guha was an
active sympathiser of Maoists and there were a large number of material and
pamphlets to link him to the banned organisation. The bench said mere
possession of certain material cannot be a ground for convicting a person.

“Apart from these documents, are there any other material? Possession of
papers is not an offence. We can’t go on the basis of mere surmises and
conjectures”, the bench said.

Lalit submitted the state had material to show that Guha, besides being a
Maoist sympathiser, had eulogised the killing of policemen by Naxalites and
was also an accused in the Purulia arms drop case in West Bengal.

Lalit said the state had seized pamphlets to prove that Maoists had said
that Guha had done a “commendable job” for the organisation.

“It is very difficult to give a definite meaning to the word commendable. It
is said in different context and perspective. Also, it differs in meaning
from person to person.

Courts cannot convict a person unless there is evidence. Except possession
of material, there is no other evidence,” the bench said while proceeding to
grant bail to Guha.

“Although this court does not interfere in the grant of bail when co-accused
Binayak Sen has been granted bail by this court, the sentence imposed by the
trial court is suspended. Petitioner is directed to be released on bail on
furnishing Rs 2 lakh with two sureties of Rs 1 lakh each”, the bench said in
its order.

Guha, a Kolkata-based businessman, was convicted along with Sen and Naxal
ideologue Narayan Sanyal for colluding with Maoists to establish a network
to fight the state. They were awarded life imprisonment.

He then challenged his conviction in the Chhattisgarh High Court which
refused to grant him bail in the case.

Lokpal will not eradicate corruption, says Binayak Sen
31 May 2011, 9:34 pm

>From

:

A law can never eradicate corruption because the present system of
liberalization, globalisation and privatisation is responsible for
encouraging it and it is this system that must change, says civil rights
activist Binayak Sen told DNA. He added that he respected Lokpal Bill
crusader Anna Hazare and had “nothing against him.”

Sen, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court recently after being
convicted and jailed for sedition in Chhattisgarh, is in town ahead of a
meeting organized by the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) to garner
support to scrap India’s antiquated sedition law. “I am not the only victim
of the law. There are hundreds of others who are. There are even more who
are against it. It is a British law created to use against freedom fighters.
Such a law is not the sign of a free country. The PUCL aims to collect over
10 lakh signatures of citizens against the law and present it to
Parliament,” he said.

Sen emphasized that financial, social and political inequality has brought
India to the brink of famine. According to the World Health Organisation, if
more than 40 per cent of the population has a BMI of less than 18.5, it can
be considered to be in a condition of famine. But 37 per cent of India’s
adult population has a BMI below 18.5, he said.

*The UID project i**s going to do almost exactly the same thing which the
predecessors of Hitler did, else how is it that Germany always had the lists
of Jewish names even prior to the arrival of the Nazis? The Nazis got these
lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included
racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying
them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an
exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible
for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.*
