He filed a petition:
He said the UP government "acted in a malafide and vindictive manner by disregarding the procedure established by law with the sole purpose of gaining political mileage in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and malign the reputation and image of the petitioner".
Wah, wah. Varun Gandhi has a reputation and image to uphold? His reputation and image are the creation of that one speech. He was nothing before that; he will become another Praveen Togadia of the BJP.
The Supreme Court directed the Mayawati government to immediately withdraw NSA charges against him.
Apparently, these are poll times, so there was no fight. The fellow wanted Rs. 10 lakh in ‘damages’. I wonder if it isn’t too much to wash his foul mouth with. I’d personally like him to be given that money so that he can be sent to a good finishing school where they teach you how to walk and talk. Or maybe he can donate that money for the children in Pilibhit whose community he targeted.
Or he could pay for Ajmal Kasab’s legal fees. That way he will be helping the nation.

A report says:
The government is yet to decide the legal fees it will pay Kasab’s lawyer Abbas Kazmi. According to sources, the special court that appointed Kazmi as Kasab’s counsel had suggested that Kazmi be paid Rs 2,500 per day of argument…If the trial goes on for years, Kazmi’s fees is likely to runs into tens of lakhs.”
Interestingly, they are talking of the trial going on for years. Lawyers can only use delay tactics, but what about courts that defer hearings? Heck, everyday, someone or the other is identifying one weapon, one bullet, one date or pistachio…I have said it before. No one is in a hurry.
I read some punk say that the trial should be expedited, as though this is some kangaroo court. If the government has taken it upon itself to go as per provisions provided by the judiciary, then the procedures will be followed. Unless they let him take that walk around his barrack and look away as someone shoots him.
An aside:
Senior lawyer Ram Jethmalani said that Pakistani gunman Ajmal Amir Kasab should not be hanged as “he looks like an escaped lunatic who did not know what he was doing”.
When his lawyer spoke about Kasab being underage, did not this humble blogger make a dig at it?
This guy sure knows his way around, in more ways than one. His reason for this walk is that he would lose his mental balance if they did not permit him. Ah, now his lawyer can, if they are not allowed (to let him walk around and he says will lose his mental balance), plead insanity for his client.
Please note that Mr. Jethmalani appeared on behalf of Indira Gandhi’s killers. He is saying it with some authority. Now, I would like to know whether such statements are permissible in a case that is sub judice.

I wonder why the National Securities Act was not slapped on Chhotu even though Varun and he have one thing is common (revealed later). Who is Chhotu? A dog.
It is like any political story for this Bihari kutta. Six years ago he was sentenced to death. He was a menace and had bitten some people.
But Raj Kumari Devi, the owner of the dog, said:
"It is a conspiracy by my neighbours to grab my property. They are targeting my protector, Chhotu."
Last July another case was slammed against him under CrPC section 107 (disturbing peace).
Like all big cases, this too dragged on.
Official sources in the Purnia district administration said that hearing in the case was deferred several times in the last six months, due to floods and ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
She put up a brave fight and who do you think supported her? Maneka Gandhi! (now you know the connection.)
Devi finally won the battle.
"I simply begged for clemency saying that being a widow, Chhotu was my only companion and protector."

A monk drags a polling agent, who voters say was involved in false voting, outside a poll booth in Thiksey, east of Leh.
