Legal Researcher -
Despite all efforts of the Maharashtra government to seek a stay on the acquittal which was refused by the High Court (HC), professor Saibaba was released on March 7. The decade long incarceration of a disabled professor and his colleagues was marked with particular insensitivity by the Maharashtra jail authorities who denied him basic essentials; he had to even go on a hunger strike to push for the removal of CCTV cameras from the toilet and bathing area and demanding reading/writing materials.

To Karnataka’s Anti-SIR Movement: A note of caution and concern

0
While efforts have been afoot in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh by civil rights groups and people’s movements to ensure inclusion of the maximum number of eligible voters under the ongoing, expanded, SIR process. The author argues how these efforts may come to naught, given the structural issues involved: a compromised ECI, rushed timelines and the unlawful and rigid document-test for citizenship. In fact, robust efforts in Kerala, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu where similar efforts were made also came to naught.
