LEGAL REPORT
————————————
1. The Supreme Court refused to stay a Gujarat High Court Division Bench order keeping in force the ban on preparation, sale and storage of non-vegetarian food, including eggs, within 500 metres of the Somnath Temple. A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and P.B. Varale, calling the order interim, requested the High Court to dispose of the pending appeals within two months. The ban was imposed by the Gir Somnath District Magistrate on 10 August under the Gujarat Police Act, 1951; a single judge had quashed it on 30 October under Article 19(1)(g), but the Division Bench stayed that ruling.
2. The Supreme Court held that a public servant who is arrested and kept in judicial custody for more than 48 hours is under ‘deemed suspension’, and no specific order is needed. A Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manmohan restored the bail of a Sadar Hospital, Samastipur, manager accused under the Prevention of Corruption Act of demanding a ₹4,000 bribe, and called it shocking that, after his suspension was revoked, he was posted again in the same hospital on the same post; the State was told to look into it.
3. The Delhi High Court directed the MCD Commissioner to set up a high-powered committee, in consultation with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and preferably within a week, to find alternatives such as sealing, repair or controlled demolition for dangerous buildings while GRAP curbs bar demolition till 10 February.
4. The Calcutta High Court refused interim protection to Trinamool Congress MLA Dilip Mondal against further FIRs, which he alleged were part of a politically motivated campaign after the 4 May Assembly results. A Division Bench of Justices Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Arjun Ray Mukherjee said that since he is already in custody and charge-sheets have been filed in several cases, a blanket order would be premature; his counsel said at least 37 cases had been registered against him.
5. Delhi Police served a notice on former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at her Kalighat residence in Kolkata, asking her to appear as a witness at the Parliament Street police station in a 2013 case. The case was registered on 9 April 2013 under IPC sections including 186, 353 and 332 after Left Front and SFI activists gheraoed her and then Finance Minister Amit Mitra outside the Planning Commission, during protests over the death of SFI leader Sudipto Gupta in police custody.
