A bench comprising Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and justices S Ravindra Bhat and Sudhanshu Dhulia asked Setalvad to surrender her passport with trial court till the time the Gujarat High Court decides her regular bail plea.

The top court also asked Setalvad to cooperate with the probe agency in the investigation of the case of alleged fabrication of evidence to frame people in riots cases.

Appellant, a lady has been in custody since June 25. The offences alleged against her pertain to year 2002 and going by assertions, at best the concerned documents date to 2012. The investigating machinery has had the advantage of her custodial interrogation of seven days followed by judicial custody, the bench said while granting interim bail to Setalvad.

Referring to the sequence of events of the case, the bench said the high court, while issuing the notice to the state government on the regular bail petition, should have considered the plea for grant of interim bail to her.

The essential ingredient of custodial interrogation being completed, the matter of interim bail should have been heard,” it said, adding Setalvad was in police custody for seven days. The bench said since the high court is seized of the matter, it was not considering the regular bail petition.

We are only on during the pendency of such application, should the custody of appellant be insisted upon or be granted interim bail. We grant Teesta Setalvad interim bail, it said.

The top court had on Thursday wanted to know the reason for the delayed listing of Setalvad’s bail plea by the Gujarat High Court, wondering whether “this lady has been made an exception”.

It wondered why the high court listed the bail prayer for hearing on September 19, six weeks after it sent a notice to the state government seeking a response to her application.

Referring to the case against Setalvad, which was registered days after the June 24 verdict of the apex court in the Zakia Jafri case, the bench said, Today as the case stands, the FIR is nothing but whatever has happened in the (supreme) court (judgement).

The bench was apparently referring to the verdict by the apex court bench led by Justice (since retired) AM Khanwilkar who had blamed the petitioners in the Zakia Zafri case for “keeping the pot boiling” and showing the “audacity” to question the integrity of the Special Investigation Team, and observed that “all those involved in such abuse of process need to be in the dock and proceeded with in accordance with law”.

Setalvad was arrested on June 25, a day after the verdict was pronounced.

The Gujarat High Court had on August 3 issued a notice to the state government on the bail plea of Setalvad and fixed the matter for hearing on September 19.

The 2002 Gujarat riots were triggered by the torching of a coach of Sabarmati Express by a mob near Godhra station on February 27 that year.

Fifty-nine passengers, mostly Hindu Karsevaks returning from Ayodhya, were charred to death in the incident.

An Ahmedabad sessions court had on July 30 rejected the bail applications of Setalvad and former Gujarat Director General of Police R B Sreekumar in the case, saying their release will send a message to wrongdoers that a person can level allegations with impunity and get away with it.

Setalvad and Sreekumar have been accused of fabricating evidence to frame “innocent people” in the post-Godhra riots cases.

– The campaign has begun from MusaharToli and will go on to distribute 20,000 masks in the region

– Different colors of masks are being distributed to prevent the exchange of masks between family members which is a first of its kind initiative in the country

Bihar: While the nation fights the pandemic caused due to Corona Virus, the number of positive cases in bihar has reached from 9 to 11. The nation is under lockdown to prevent the virus from spreading and people are adhering to various precautionary measures including social distancing. In the wake of the same, Paharpur based social activist Sarvesh Tiwari has come up with a creative and effective way to help people with social distancing by distributing masks among those in need. The distributors use gloves and stick as precautionary measures while giving away the masks to minimize the chances of transmission. Having started his campaign from MusaharToli, Sarvesh Tiwari aims to supply these masks to 20,000 people in need.

What is special about this campaign is that the masks being distributed are of different colors, which makes it a first of its kind initiative toward this cause in the country. The variety of colors helps ensure that masks aren`t exchanged within the family members, helping to ensure their individual safety from the disease. For women, there are red and pink masks, for men it is blue and black while the children are being given white masks.

One of the beneficiaries of the campaign, a resident of MusaharToli, RudalManjhi said, “Neither we can buy good quality masks owing to the lack of money, nor we can go out to the market to purchase it due to the nationwide lockdown. In such a scenario, many families including mine are benefitting a lot from this initiative by Sarvesh Tiwari.”

The local youth of Paharpur are extending their full support towards the success of this campaign in the cause of fighting COVID-19. Mr. Tiwari along with his young brigade, is also educating the masses about the symptoms and precautionary measures related to the disease, while following all the standards of safety and sanitation.

“Whenever a pandemic breaks out, the marginalized communities of the society become the most vulnerable. The first reason behind this is the lack of awareness among their population and second is the lack of resources to avail precautionary tools and measures. Keeping this in mind, I decided to distribute masks among such sections of society at utmost priority while taking all possible safety measures, before the situation gets out of control. In these times demanding social distancing, this indigenous way of distributing masks using stick is very easy to put into practice and people are adopting it very enthusiastically.” said Sarvesh Tiwari.

The campaign is not only limited to this. The people from other states that are returning to their homes are also being undertaken free check up by specialist so that in case they are found positive they may receive treatment in time. This also helps prevent the disease from spreading to the other people living in the Panchayat.

The secretary of Nirbhaya Jyoti Trust run by Nirbhaya`s parents, and a crusader in the journey towards justice for Nirbhaya, Sarvesh Tiwari has been contributing to social cause through his organization “Rise Always Welfare Society” since many years now. Sarvesh Tiwari has also adopted the families of the martyrs who lost their lives in 2016 Uri Attack along with 75 disabled children. The son of former Mukhia of Inarvabhar Panchayat, Shri Anand Kumar Tiwari and presiding Mukhia, Smt Usha Tiwari, Sarvesh Tiwari has been actively involved in the upliftment of socially and financially under privileged sections of the society. He regularly organizes marriage ceremonies for the daughters and pilgrimage tours for the senior citizens of financially weak families and has installed hundreds of tube-wells to solve water supply issues in his region.
