Supreme Court to CG Govt: Is call for revolution an offence? >From >PTI<http://www.deccanherald.com/content/165404/can-call-revolution-dubbed-offence.html> : 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. <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=google&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=icio.us&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=netvouz.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=newsvine.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=rawsugar.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=reddit.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=stumbleupon.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=technorati.com&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/redirect.php?service=yahoo&url=http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2442&titel=Supreme%20Court%20to%20CG%20Govt:%20Is%20call%20for%20revolution%20an%20offence?> <http://sozial-bookmark.phpwelt.net/bookmark.html> ----- http://www.freebinayaksen.org/?p=2440 Lokpal will not eradicate corruption, says Binayak Sen 31 May 2011, 9:34 pm >From >DNA<http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_lokpal-will-not-eradicate-corruption-says-binayak-sen_1549446> : 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. -- Adv Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist * * *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.* * * *http://saynotoaadhaar.blogspot.com/* *http://aadhararticles.blogspot.com/* *http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1*<http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
