The Story in Brief
Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Monday criticised a Mumbai court for denying anticipatory bail to two former Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) students, calling it a sign of government intolerance and a reflection on the judiciary. The court, however, granted bail to seven other students involved in the same October 2025 incident.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that a court denying bail equals state intolerance misses nuance. The judge cited not the homage itself, but slogans for UAPA-accused and seized Maoist literature. Yet, critics ignore that seven students got bail for cooperating. The real test: will the court's logic hold on appeal, or will it be seen as bending to pressure?
