Landmark Rulings Delivered by Delhi High Court in Tuesday's Hearings

Delhi High Court addressed several significant cases on April 23: DCPCR vacancies, BharatPe share transfer freeze, Waqf property monitoring, PFI leader's release plea, Meta's inadequate response to TV Today Network, sextortion syndicate's bail denial, transgender security for election nomination, and Chinese manjha compensation policy request.

Important cases heard in Delhi High Court on Tuesday, April 23: *HC sought the city government's response on a plea seeking a direction for expeditious filling of the vacant position of chairperson and members in the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

*HC asked payment app BharatPe's former MD Ashneer Grover not to transfer or create any third party rights in the shares transferred to him to the company's co-founder Bhavik Koladiya.

*HC observed that unauthorised constructions were going on galore in disputed Waqf properties and no one was looking after them, as it stressed the need for proper monitoring.

*HC reserved order on a plea by former Popular Front of India (PFI) chairman E Abubacker seeking his release in an UAPA case being probed by the National Investigation Agency.

*HC remarked that the functioning of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, was worse than that of a government department as it failed to properly respond to media group TV Today Network's plea against the blocking of its Instagram page Harper's Bazaar India.

*HC refused to grant anticipatory bail to three men allegedly running a sextortion syndicate through video calls, saying sextortion is a significant social menace and often leads to severe psychological trauma.

*HC said it is the duty of the State to safeguard and enforce rights guaranteed to transgenders under the Constitution and directed the police here to provide necessary security to a person from the transgender community for filing nomination for contesting the Lok Sabha elections.

*HC asked the government to frame within 8 weeks a policy for grant of compensation to those who have lost their life and limbs in accidents because of use of Chinese manjha for kite- flying.
