Fabricated Evidence, Tutored Witnesses, Malicious Prosecution: How Police Lied & Subverted Path To Justice

Though perjury, or lying under oath, and fabrication of evidence remain widespread in India’s justice system, prosecutions for the two offences are rare. In the first of a two-part series, Article14 analyses five recent court judgements that reveal how the police followed a similar modus operandi of submitting false evidence in court in an atmosphere of impunity.

Why Muslims feel let down by Supreme Court

The deeply disappointing verdict in the Ayodhya title suit, go-ahead for the survey of Varanasi’s Gyanvapi mosque and constant talk of uniform civil code are just some of the reasons. Ajaz Ashraf writes.

The Wire - As the 2024 Elections Approach, India Is Entering the Most Dangerous Phase of Its Existence

As the 2024 Elections Approach, India Is Entering the Most Dangerous Phase of Its Existence

The violence in Nuh, Palwal and Gurgaon makes it clear Narendra Modi has fallen back on the one antidote with which he is familiar, which worked unfailingly in Gujarat and in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. This is the stirring up hatred of Muslims and other minorities in the Hindu majority.

By Not Standing Up For Justice S Muralidhar, Supreme Court Collegium Fails Yet Another Independent Judge

A judge, who is erudite and independent, who doesn’t hesitate to act urgently to protect the lives of ordinary citizens in moments of danger and is fearless in taking a bold stand against State excesses and inactions, who is held in high esteem by the legal fraternity, certainly deserves to be in the Supreme Court, right?

From the Bhopal gas tragedy to Facebook and Bloomsbury, a history of corporate culpability

What ties Warren Anderson, the CEO of Union Carbide when the Bhopal Gas Tragedy occurred, to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, and Nigel Newton, the CEO of Bloomsbury?

1000 Days Without Trial Or Bail For Umar Khalid, Denied Bail Despite False Allegations, Fabrications & Inconsistencies — Article 14

1000 Days Without Trial Or Bail For Umar Khalid, Denied Bail Despite False Allegations, Fabrications & Inconsistencies

PhD student Umar Khalid completes 1,000 days in jail without a trial, Article 14 revisited the fabrications, inconsistencies and conjectures that vitiate the Delhi riots conspiracy case but are still not enough for him to get bail because judges, as experts point out, interpret draconian laws in unyielding fashion. Police witnesses against the 35-year-old have been shown as unreliable, unproven allegations have been dropped, and the police have used partial truths and communally tainted arguments in his prosecution.
