Rubabbuddin Sheikh vs State Of Gujarat & Ors , AIR 2010, SC 345
In State vs Gopal Mishra @ Ashwani @ Samar & others 4 the court made an observation
regading the arup bhuyam judgement. The judgments in Arup Bhuyan’s case5 says that “ mere
memebership of banned organization will not make a person criminal’” however it does not
say that it is imperative for a case to be covered under the penal provisions of “membership of a
terrorist gang or a terrorist organization" must always and invariably have direct evidence
showing the accused himself or herself resort to active violence or incite others to violence etc.
The judgments do not lay down as an absolute law that the acts showing intention to bring about
public disorder or disturbance of public peace as a chain reaction will not attract penal
consequences for being member of a terrorist gang or organization.
In Asit Kumar Sen Gupta vs State Of Chhattisgarh6 the court said that the Promotion of an
ideology and advocating for different form of Government is always acceptable as it is a valid
means of criticizing the policy of the incumbent Government, however, exciting the people to
armed rebellion, promoting contempt and disrespect for the Government, supporting banned

FEDRAK BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
The Petitioner humbly submits that this petition is not maintainable under Art. 32 in Hon’ble
Supreme Court of Praakrit. and the court have no jurisdiction to entertain the same in the light of
the following arguments:
2.1 Supreme Court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain the instant petition.
The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under Art. 32 can be invoked only when fundamental
rights have been infringed or violated . 11No question other than relating to fundamental right
will be determined in proceeding under Art. 32. 12 Thus where there is no infringement of
fundamental right or scope for enforcement of any fundamental right the writ petition is not
maintainable on the fragile ground. 13 . The Honorable Court does not have jurisdiction to
entertain the present petition as there is no infringement of fundamental rights of any prisoner by
not recognizing them as political prisoners and not treating them accordingly. It is further
submitted that petitioners have approach the court on frivolous and fragile Grounds.
Infringement of fundamental rights cannot be founded on remote of speculative Grounds 14 . The
present matter is about the State criminal policy in dealing with the prisoners who posses a great
threat to the unity and security of India .

educative role to play while dispensing this function34.[ 19(1)(A) is not only for the
benefit of the owner of the newspaper or of the editor or jouranalist. In essence it embodies the
people right to know. media interest in the pending cases or court proceedings cannot be equated
with media trial.
In the Bofors Case35, the Supreme Court recounted the merits of media publicity: “those who
know about the incident may come forward with information, it prevents perjury by placing
witnesses under public gaze and it reduces crime through the public expression of disapproval
for crime and last but not the least it promotes the public discussion of important issues.”
In Cases like the Jessica Lall36 and Nitish Katara37 murder cases, which involve high profile and
powerful people as the accused persons, do benefit from such incessant media exposure. Neelam
Katara, mother of the deceased in the Nitish Katara murder case, succeeded in getting a verdict

Vikas Yadav vs State Of U.P. And Another on 26 April, 2011
‘RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN’ is a concept whereby a person would have the right to lead an
anonymous life in reference to data retention and digital memory on the internet. It allows
offenders who have served their sentence to object to the publication of information regarding
their crime and conviction in order to ease their process of social integration.
Also, it considers cases involving women in general and highly sensitive cases involving rape or
affecting the modesty and reputation of the person concerned.
This idea was first developed and recognized by France as the “right to oblivion” or droit `a
l’oubli. It has gained prominence since a matter was referred to the Court of Justice of
European Union (CJEU) in 2014 by a Spanish court. In this case Mario Costeja González
had disputed the Google search of his name continuing to show results leading to an auction
notice of his reposed home. The fact that Google continued to make available in its search
results, an event in his past, which had long been resolved, was claimed by González as a breach
of his privacy. He filed a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD in its
Spanish acronym), to have the online newspaper reports about him as well as related search
results appearing on Google deleted or altered. While AEPD did not agree to his demand to have
newspaper reports altered, it ordered Google Spain and Google, Inc. to remove the links in
question from their search results. The case was brought in appeal before the Spanish High
Court, which referred the matter to CJEU. In a judgement having far reaching implications,
CJEU held that where the information is ‘inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant or excessive,’
individuals have the right to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about
them. The court also ruled that even if the physical servers of the search engine provider are
located outside the jurisdiction of the relevant Member State of EU, these rules would apply if
they have branch office or subsidiary in the Member State.

KartongenKemiOchForvaltning AB v. State through CBI, 2004 (72) DRJ 693.
Recently, political voices have stressed the need to introduce a right to be forgotten as new
human right. Individuals should have the right to make potentially damaging information
disappear after a certain time has elapsed.
The learned counsel humbly contends on behalf of the KiKi News Channel that there is no “right
to be forgotten” guaranteed anywhere, either under the Constitution of Praakrit or under any
statute. The same can be inferred from a decision laid down by the HC of Gujarat in Dharmraj
Bhanushankar Dave vs. State of Gujarat39. In this case, the petitioner was charged with various
criminal offences, including culpable homicide amounting to murder. He was acquitted by the
Sessions as well as the High Court. The petitioner filed a case under Art. 226 40 praying for
‘permanent restraint of free public exhibition of the judgment’. The petitioners’ chief concern
was that despite the judgment being declared as ‘non-reportable’1441, the copy of the judgment
with his name was available on various legal portals and could be searched on Google. It was
also alleged the same had affected the personal and professional life of the petitioner.
Another argument was, that the Registrar of the court has exclusive control over such orders and
the respondents would have to power over it to openly display them.The judgment was parted in
form of an oral order by the Honourable Mr. Justice R. M. Chhaya. The court dismissed the
petition and held the following:
39
AIR 2015.
40
The Art. provides for power of the citizens to approach the High Court to exercise its’ jurisdiction to issue orders,
directions or writs.
41
A non-reportable/ unreportable judgment cannot be published in any newspaper or in any journal. If one wants to
cite the same in a lower court, s/he must produce a certified copy.
The counsel in light of the above arguments most humbly submits that the HC has erred in law
by recognisng the right to be forgotten as a right under Art.21 and granting damages under 226 to
respondents .
In the light of the issues raised, arguments advanced and authorities cited, the Respondent hereby
humbly submits that this Hon’ble Supreme Court of Praakrit may be pleased to:
1. Reverse the release order passed by High Court Passed by Sauramastha and order
immediate arrest of the activists booked under UAPA .
2. PIL filed in the above matter be dismissed.
ANY OTHER ORDER AS IT DEEMS FIT IN THE INTERST OF EQUITY, JUSTICE AND
GOOD CONSCIENCE.
