The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge by the Chandigarh administration to an order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court involving Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. According to NDTV, a bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohanawas hears the matter as the Chandigarh administration seeks relief against the High Court decision. In the course of proceedings, the bench makes remarks relating to political practices in a democracy, with NDTV reporting the observation that “everyone does naarebaazi in democracy.” The Supreme Court’s current action is described by NDTV as providing “relief” to Bhagwant Mann while the appeal is under consideration. The reporting does not specify the detailed grounds of the High Court ruling or the full nature of the Supreme Court’s interim directions. The matter remains pending before the apex court as it considers the Chandigarh administration’s challenge to the earlier High Court order.
