โ๏ธ SC questions judiciary's role in state matters
The Supreme Court questioned a plea asking the Union government to use emergency powers to protect West Bengal from violence. Justice B.R. Gavai asked if such action would interfere with the Legislative and Executive domains. The plea, made by advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, cited communal violence during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Separately, another bench saw a petition seeking an SIT probe into the violence withdrawn. This follows recent communal violence in parts of Murshidabad district, where three people were killed on April 11 and 12. ๐ง
