Important for many reasons, but perhaps most importantly because last week a Gujarat "anti-terror law" was approved by the President. Among other things, this law *specifically* says that material obtained from surveillance can be used in Court. The Bombay High Court specifically says that this is unconstitutional. There is a direct clash between the two. The State's encroachment on basic rights makes it even more important to restate the value and importance of those rights. (2/2)
