The document discusses a case regarding compensation claims from the death of Rudragouda Patil in a motor vehicle accident in 2007. There were two main claimants:
1) Lalitha, who was declared the legally wedded first wife by a civil court in 1981, but had not lived with Rudragouda for over 25 years.

This document provides a summary of the key facts and allegations in the criminal case against 6 applicants seeking bail. The prosecution alleges the applicants were part of a large conspiracy by the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) to overthrow the government through armed revolution. It is alleged they used organizations like Kabir Kala Manch to incite violence and hatred through speeches and performances near Bhima-Koregaon on December 31, 2017, and were found to possess documents outlining the Maoist strategy. The applicants deny the allegations and say funds for the event came from contributions, not the Maoists. A charge sheet was filed against the applicants for terrorism offenses.
The petitioner, a journalist, hosted a debate discussing a law regarding religious sites. This led to 7 FIRs being filed against him in 4 states for allegedly insulting a revered Muslim saint. He claims the words were said inadvertently and apologized. He argues the FIRs violate his rights and are an abuse of law as no offense is made out under the sections charged. Alternatively, any offense would be minor under section 95 of the Indian Penal Code. He seeks quashing of the FIRs or transferring them to one state. The court must determine if the FIRs violate his rights or can stand.

The number of stray dogs in Ahmedabad that need to be sterilized and vaccinated has increased from about 75,000 to 1.8 lakh in the past year, despite the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation doubling the number of agencies hired and spending Rs. 6 crore over the past three years. While sterilizing stray dogs is meant to control the population, the high number of dog bites reported each year averaging over 42,000 people annually indicates the efforts have not been effective. Officials state the agencies are supposed to keep dogs under observation for a week after treatment but often release them too early, causing the dogs to become aggressive and increasing biting incidents.
The Supreme Court of India heard a petition regarding Sidhique Kappan, a prisoner, who requested interim bail to visit his mother in Kerala who was critically ill. While the Court recognized the urgency of allowing Kappan to visit his mother, concerns were raised that he may use the opportunity to garner public support for his activities against the law. Therefore, the Court granted interim bail for 5 days with strict conditions, including being escorted by Uttar Pradesh police at all times, not giving interviews or meeting the public, and only interacting with relatives and doctors regarding his mother's health. The order was passed without prejudice to the main petition challenges.
The court ordered the State Government to reconstitute the committee established to examine the problems faced by the Van Gujjar tribal community. The original committee was found to be inadequate as it did not include key authorities like the District Magistrate and Principal Secretary of Social Welfare Department as members. The reconstituted committee must include these authorities and consult the petitioner organization. It must meet monthly and submit a report within 3 months with recommendations on providing legal rights and addressing difficulties for the Van Gujjar community.

The Court proposed forming an expert committee to negotiate between farmers' groups and the government to resolve the issue, and staying implementation of the laws until negotiations are complete. However, the government opposed staying the laws, arguing the Court should not interfere with laws passed by Parliament without specific provisions being shown as harmful.

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
These are applications made by several parties for
intervention and modification of Order dated 18th
June, 2020
passed by this Court. By that Order we had restrained the
respondents from holding the Rath Yatra this year in view of
the danger presented by gathering of 10 to 12 lakhs devotees
for a period of 10-12 days. Clearly, any spread ofthe
Coronavirus due to the Rath Yatra would be disastrous due to
the large number of persons and the impossibility of tracking
all the infected people after they have gone back to their
respective homes. Needless to say that it is not possible to
screen the medical conditions of all those who converge on the
cities for the Rath Yatra.
While we do not have the official copy of the gazette
itself, we are informed that in the 18th
-19th
century a yatra of
this kind was responsible for the spread of cholera and plague
“like wild fire”. We say this in order to remind the
authorities concerned that the situation can become dangerous
if the rules of caution are ignored.
Before we passed our earlier Order we had suggested to
the parties that the procession of chariots, i.e., the Rath
Yatra itself, could be allowed to proceed, however, without the
general congregation which participates in this Yatra. We were
informed that it would be well nigh impossible to ensure that
6. 6
there is no congregation. This Court was, therefore, left with
no option but to grant an injunction restraining the Rath Yatra
itself.
However, we find, in one of the present applications, an
affidavit filed on behalf of the State of Orissa statingthat it
might be possible to conduct the Rath Yatra at Puri “in a
limited way without public attendance”. This has been proposed
by Gajapati Maharaj of Puri, who is the Chairman of the Puri
Jagannath Temple Administration. Indeed, if it is possible to
ensure that there is no public attendance, we see no reason why
the Rath Yatra cannot be conducted safely along its usual route
from temple to temple.
Having given serious consideration to the matter and
having heard the parties, we are of the view that the Rath
Yatra at Puri may be held subject to following conditions:
(1) All entry points into the City of Puri, i.e.,
airports, railway stations, bus stands, etc.,
shall be closed during the period of Rath Yatra
festival.
(2) The State Government shall impose a curfew in the
City of Puri on all the days and during all the
time when Rath Yatra chariots are taken in
procession. The State Government may also impose
curfew in the city of Puri on such other days and
during such time as deemed necessary. During the
period of curfew no one would be allowed to come
out of their houses or their places of residence,
such as, hotels, lodging houses, etc. To start
with, the curfew shall begin tonight at 8 P.M.
7. 7
(3) Each Rath, i.e.., Chariot, shall be pulled by not
more than 500 persons. Each of those 500 persons
shall be tested for the Coronavirus. They shall
be permitted to pull the chariot only if they have
been found negative. The number 500 shall
include officials and police personnel.
(4) There shall be an interval of one hour between two
chariots.
(5) Each of those who is engaged in pulling the
chariot shall maintain social distancing before,
during and after the Rath Yatra.
(6) We are informed that certain rituals are
associated with the Rath Yatra. We direct that
only such persons shall be associated with the
rituals who have been found to have tested
negative and shall maintain social distancing.
(7) The primary responsibility for conducting the Rath
Yatra in accordance with the conditions and other
norms shall be that of the Committee in-charge of
Puri Jagannath Temple Administration. Each member
of the Committee shall be responsible for due
compliance with the conditions imposed by this
Court and the general directions which govern
ensuring of public health issued by the Union
Government. In addition, the officers designated
by the State Government for conduct of the Rath
Yatra shall be responsible likewise.
(8) The rituals and the Rath Yatra shall be freely
covered by the visual media. The State Government
shall allow TV cameras to be installed at such
places as may be found necessary by the TV crew.
(9) The bare minimum number of people shall be allowed
8. 8
by the Committee to participate in the rituals and
in the Rath Yatra. We take a note of the fact
that the State of Orissa has a good record of
having controlled the pandemic with a very little
loss of life. We see no reason why the same
attitude of care and caution should not be applied
to the Rath Yatra.
(10) The State Government may take such help as may be
found necessary from the Union Government. Shri
Tushar Mehta, learned Solicitor General, has
assured the Court that the Union Government shall
offer all assistance and help to the State
Government in this endeavour.
(11) The State Government shall maintain a record
containing details of all those who have been
allowed to participate in the Rath Yatra or the
rituals connected therewith along with details of
their medical conditions after testing.
All the applications for intervention and modification of
Order dated 18th
June, 2020 passed by this Court are disposed
of.
