The Supreme Court has stayed the implementation of the three controversial Farm laws due to the serious disagreements between farmers and the government. Supreme court on the same issue ordered to set up a 4 member committee that will be assigned to hold talks with farmers and propose a report within two months.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde while hearing petitions challenging the law said that “Tell us whether you will put the laws on hold or else we will do it. What’s the prestige issue here?” They further said that “Negotiations between the farmers’ bodies and the government have not yet yielded any results so far.”

The statement came from the Supreme Court for the Central government stats that it was “extremely disappointed” with the negotiation process.

The committee included Bhupinder Singh Mann, National President of Bhartiya Kisan Union; Dr Parmod Kumar Joshi, Director for South Asia, International Food Policy Research Institute; Ashok Gulati, Agricultural Economist and Former Chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices; and Anil Ghanwat, President of Shetkari Sanghatana.

Out of which Bhupinder Mann ex-MP has recused himself from the four-member committee constituted by the Honorable Supreme Court. The reason he states is that he feels “it is better if he does not meddle in this matter because of the present situation and since the committee has been formed, he feels targeted”.

The court shows concern on urgently solving the matter and has also stayed the implementation of farm laws over which thousands of farmers are holding an agitation on the borders of Delhi since November 26. 

“These are matters of life and death. We are concerned with laws. We are concerned with the lives and property of people affected by the agitation. We are trying to solve the problem in the best way. One of the powers we have is to suspend the legislation,” Chief Justice SA Bobde said.

The Central Bank had in March 2020 declared a moratorium on the repayment of loan installments, to provide borrowers relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A couple of petitions have been filed in the Apex Court of the country to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Reserve Bank of India’s Governor – Shaktikanta Das and others over alleged violation of court orders in the case of loan moratorium.

The Apex Court had in September 2020 order said that until further instructions, banks cannot declare accounts as non-performing assets (NPAs) if they default after the loan moratorium ended on August 31, 2020.

The Petitioners – Gorakh Pandurang Nawade, Pritam Sengupta, Suryakant Prabhakar Pawar, and Shanti Jewellers – had filed their respective pleas through Advocate Vishal Tiwari and Advocate-on-Record (AoR) Abhigya Kushwah, before the Supreme Court in connection with loan moratorium case.

The Petitioners claim that the RBI and banks declared their accounts as NPAs, violating the SC order, according to an ANI report.

The Petitioners have now sought compensation due to the damages caused by declaring their accounts as NPAs. The Petitioners have also sought a 90-day grace period before declaring accounts as NPAs.

This act of contempt of the Respondents has shaken up the confidence of the public and broken the trust of the borrowers, as during this pandemic many of the borrowers where going through an economically rough time.

The stay order was operating as the life-saving drug to the Petitioners but the contemptuous act of the Respondent has brought a major setback to their businesses and its survival has become critical, the Petitioners claimed.

WhatsApp, has come up with a new update in it’s Terms of Policy which changes the privacy policy of the app. The update makes a distinction between private and business messages. The update has raised several eyes amongst the people with the privacy of the app being the prime issue, however the change in the policy clearly states that the conversation within friends and family is safe whereas it is clarified in certain business set-ups the conversation can be read by Facebook and even be used for certain marketing purposes. Nevertheless, people are still looking for alternatives and many are now shifting to Signal – another messaging app.

As per the new Terms of Service, WhatsApp may use the information to “operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support and market” its services and offerings to users. WhatsApp has reiterated that personal conversations do not fall under this category.
It even states neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can see or hear an individual’s private conversations. Personal messages are protected by end-to-end encryption and will be continued to be protected in the same manner. It is claimed that WhatsApp cannot even see the location that one has shared.

WhatsApp has also clarified that some large business might need to use secure hosting services from Facebook to manage WhatsApp chats with their customers.
Due to the backlash by the app’s users, the update has been delayed till 8th February 2021.

Recently, Delhi High Court’s Hon’ble Judge Prathiba M. Singh has recused herself from hearing a petition challenging this very update in the privacy policy of WhatsApp, on the grounds that it violates Fundamental Rights enshrined under Part III of the Constitution of India.
She took an objection on basis of the e-mail send by WhatsApp stating she should not hear this matter on which Hon’ble Justice Prathiba M. Singh replied “I was in any case, not going to hear it”. It is understood that the email pointed out that Justice Singh had appeared in a connected matter when she was a lawyer. Though WhatsApp later withdrew the email unconditionally, Justice Singh chose not to hear the matter.

The counsels appearing for WhatsApp are Senior Advocates Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi said that e-mail was being withdrawn unconditionally.
Advocate Chaitanya Rohilla filed a petition stating that the new privacy policy introduced by WhatsApp violates the right that is guaranteed by the Constitution that is Right to Privacy. As the privacy policy gives always the online activities of the individual without any government authority or supervision.
The petition said that “WhatsApp has made a mockery out of our fundamental Right to Privacy while discharging a public function in India, besides jeopardizing the National Security of the country by sharing, transmitting and storing the users data in some another country and the data in turn will be govern by laws of foreigner country”.
The case was finally sent to a single bench on 18th January 2021.
