AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A public‑interest petition filed in the Supreme Court has urged the court to question why the CBI and Enforcement Directorate have only arrested mid‑level officials of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) in the probe of a alleged ₹40,000‑crore loan‑siphoning scheme, while the alleged mastermind remains untouched. After senior advocate Prashant Bhushan’s complaint, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta explained that the agencies need more time due to new facts uncovered, and submitted their status reports to a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice J Bagchi. The court, which had earlier expressed dissatisfaction with the agencies’ reluctance to act against ADAG companies, said it will consider the reports and issue further directions at the next hearing on May 8. Counsel for Anil Ambani, including Mukul Rohatgi and Kapil Sibal, argued that the group is ready to discuss settlements with banks and highlighted the broader issue of insolvency‑driven takeovers that harm creditors, while the judges stressed that big players should not escape accountability.

Govt Whataboutery & Inaction: Why Hate Speech Persists Despite The Supreme Court Wanting To Stop It

The Supreme Court has called hate speech a “menace” growing into Frankenstein’s monster, blamed it on “impotent” states, and ordered them to register suo moto FIRs. At the same time, the second most senior law officer in the country asked a Muslim petitioner from Kerala, who wanted anti-Muslim rallies in Maharashtra to be stopped, why he was targeting one community instead of looking at his own state. Senior advocate Chander Uday Singh says whataboutery and government inaction defy the wishes of the highest court in the land.
