Bombay High Court criticizes Maharashtra's excessive response to a student's social media post, granting bail and highlighting the need for educational reform over punishment.

Bombay HC Grants Bail, Criticizes Overreaction

The Bombay High Court grants bail to a Pune student, criticizing Maharashtra's extreme response to her social media post about Indo-Pak tensions. The decision emphasizes reform and educational support.

Bombay HC criticizes Maharashtra's response to a student's social media post

Bombay High Court criticizes Maharashtra's response to a student's social media post, granting her bail, suspension of rustication, and recognizing the need for educational nurturing over punitive actions.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted bail to a 19-year-old student from Pune arrested for her social media post on Indo-Pak hostilities and ordered her immediate release while rebuking the Maharashtra government for its "radical" reaction to her post.
A vacation bench of Justices Gauri Godse and Somasekhar Sundaresan said it was "absolutely shocking" that the student has been treated like a "hardcore criminal" by the government.
The court ordered the student to be released on bail forthwith, noting that she should not have been arrested at all since she had deleted the post immediately, expressed remorse and apologised for the same.
This is not a case where the girl has to remain in custody anymore, the HC said, adding the girl has to be released on Tuesday itself.
"The applicant (girl) shall be released on bail by the Yerwada prison on Tuesday itself," the bench said.
The concerned officer of the prison is directed to ensure that she is released today evening itself so that she can appear for her college examination, the court said.
The court also suspended the rustication order passed by the girl's college and directed the institution to issue her a hall ticket so that she can appear for the examination.
The rustication order has been issued hurriedly without giving the student an opportunity to give her explanation, the HC said.
The student from Pune was arrested earlier this month for her social media post criticising the Indian government during the Indo-Pak hostilities amid Operation Sindoor.
She is presently in judicial custody.
While the girl had initially moved the HC challenging the decision taken by her college rusticating her, her lawyer Farhana Shah on Tuesday also filed a petition seeking quashing of the FIR and bail.
The court granted the girl bail and allowed her to appear for the ongoing examinations.
It also cautioned the girl from acting responsibly and refrain from uploading such posts on social media.
The bench said such a "radical" reaction from the state government was unwarranted and has turned a student into a criminal.
"This is an absolutely shocking case. Are the police bent upon ruining the girl's life? Is she a hardcore criminal?" the court remarked.
At the most, the girl's act of sharing such a post can be termed as an "act of indiscretion" by a young student, the bench said.
"The girl has posted something and then realised her mistake and apologised. Instead of giving her a chance to reform, the state government has arrested her and turned her into a criminal," it added.
The court questioned the conduct of the government and the college.
"Someone is expressing their opinion, and this is how you ruin her life? A student's life has been ruined," it said.
Additional government pleader P P Kakade said the girl's post was against the national interest.
The court, however, said national interest would not suffer because of a post uploaded by a student who has realised her mistake and apologised.
"How can the state arrest a student like this? Does the state want students to stop expressing their opinions? Such a radical reaction from the state will further radicalise the person," the court said.
The bench also rapped the college for rusticating the girl, saying that an educational institution's approach should be to reform, not punish.
The job of an educational institution is to not just impart academic education but also to help students reform, the court said, adding that the college ought to have given the girl an opportunity to explain.
"Instead of reforming her and making her understand, you have turned her into a criminal. You want the student to turn into a criminal?" the court asked.
It said the girl is at an age where mistakes are bound to happen and she had suffered enough.
The teen, in her plea, stated that the college's decision was arbitrary and a gross violation of her fundamental rights.
She requested the high court to quash the rustication, order her reinstatement, and allow her to appear for the semester exams scheduled to begin on May 24.
The second-year student of Information Technology contended that the rustication order passed by the Sinhgad Academy of Engineering, a private unaided college affiliated with the Savitribai Phule Pune University, was "arbitrary and unlawful".
The petitioner claimed she had reposted the social media post without ill intent and immediately apologised.
On May 7, the girl reposted a post on Instagram from an account called 'Reformistan', which criticised the Indian government for provoking a war against Pakistan.
Within two hours, she realised her mistake and deleted the post after receiving a barrage of threats.
In its May 9 rustication letter, the college stated that since the girl had brought disrepute to the institution, it was justified to preserve the institution's ethos.
It further said the petitioner had anti-national sentiments and posed a risk to the campus community and society.
The girl had to be escorted out of college due to protests against her, and she was arrested the same day by the Kondhwa police after an FIR was registered against her.
She is currently lodged in the Yerwada Prison in Pune in judicial custody, and a local court rejected her bail plea.

India on Tuesday slammed China and Pakistan for their efforts to encourage 'interested' third countries to join projects relating to their multi-billion dollar connectivity corridor that passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. 

India slams Pakistan, China's attempt to involve 'interested' countries in CPEC projects

India on Tuesday slammed China and Pakistan for their efforts to encourage 'interested' third countries to join projects relating to their multi-billion dollar connectivity corridor that passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.&nbsp;

India on Tuesday slammed China and Pakistan for their efforts to encourage 'interested' third countries to join projects relating to their multi-billion dollar connectivity corridor that passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
In a sharp reaction, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said such activities under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are "inherently illegal, illegitimate and unacceptable", and will be treated accordingly by India.
The criticism came after Pakistan and China decided to welcome interested third countries to join the flagship CPEC initiative during a meeting of the CPEC Joint Working Group (JWG) on International Cooperation and Coordination held Friday last week.
"We have seen reports on encouraging proposed participation of third countries in so-called CPEC projects. Any such actions by any party directly infringe on India's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Bagchi said.
"India firmly and consistently opposes projects in the so-called CPEC, which are in Indian territory that has been illegally occupied by Pakistan," he said.
"Such activities are inherently illegal, illegitimate and unacceptable, and will be treated accordingly by India," he added.
The CPEC was launched in 2013 to improve Pakistan's road, rail and energy transportation infrastructure besides connecting its deep-sea port of Gwadar with China's Xinjiang province.

The CPEC is part of China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
India has been severely critical of the BRI as CPEC is part of the initiative.&nbsp;

Fifty years since the 1971 war which led to the independence of Bangladesh. Each country involved in the conflict remembers it in a different manner.
Bangladesh remembers it as the Bengali people&rsquo;s struggle against an oppressive Pakistan army. Meanwhile, India and Pakistan remember it as the third Indo-Pakistan war.
What escalated the war?
The struggle for rights for Bengalis started after Pakistan gained independence as a country with two connecting territories known as West Pakistan (today&rsquo;s Pakistan) and East Pakistan (today&rsquo;s Bangladesh).
Pakistan refused to accept Bengali as a state language in the early years after Partition. Many Bengali Muslims strongly objected to the Islamist paradigm imposed by the Pakistani state. Economic disparity, the hegemony of the West Pakistani ruling elite over martial laws, cultural and linguistic differences, ideology, were all the burning points for the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.
In December 1970, tensions heightened when the Awami League party, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman based in East Pakistan, won the national elections but West Pakistan parties, namely the Pakistan People&rsquo;s Party (PPP), refused to hand over power.
What led to India&rsquo;s intervention?
In 1971, the Pakistani military began a violent crackdown to suppress the Bengali opposition and the rallies taken out against them. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested and taken to West Pakistan.
As the violence escalated, a large number of refugees streamed into Indian territory, which gave India paved the way for India&rsquo;s intervention.
An investigative commission set up by Pakistan claims 26,000 people were killed in the army&rsquo;s targeted killings, but Bangladesh places the figure at 3 million.
