SC hears plea on 'security breach' during PM Modi's Punjab visit
Punjab govt says 7 show-cause notices issued to the state officers as to why disciplinary action should not be taken against them. Please appoint an independent committee, and give us a fair hearing, adds Punjab govt
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, tells Supreme Court that showcause notices were issued to DG & Punjab Chief Secretary before the proceedings of Central govt's Committee was halted. No hearing done by the committee appointed, he says.
SG Mehta: Convoy of PM had reached the place which was 100 m from the protest area..as per the blue book it would be incumbent upon the officers that the rules are strictly implemented and state govt should direct such officers so that there is minimum inconvenience. Crowds have to be properly controlled by judicious employing use of forces. there was no intimation to the convoy that there was crowd gathering.. protectee had to be immediately be shifted if there is a perception of threat. There was complete intelligence failure. In some case DG and CS travel with the PM so that there is no communication system breakage and it has to be ensured that there is a clear road and if a blockade is there the vehicle is stopped...4 or 5 kms ahead of it.

Australian judge offers Djokovic glimmer of hope in deportation fight
An Australian judge demanded Monday to know what more Novak Djokovic could have done to meet the country's strict pandemic entry requirements, offering a glimmer of hope to the detained tennis superstar as he fights deportation.
The 34-year-old world number one arrived in Melbourne last week ahead of the Australian Open, hoping to win a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title.
But guards at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport decided the unvaccinated star had failed to present a solid medical reason for not being jabbed.
Djokovic's visa was revoked and he was moved to a notorious immigration detention facility pending deportation.
In an emergency online court hearing Monday, federal Judge Anthony Kelly listened to extended legal wrangling about the process, before jumping to the 34-year-old's defence.
Declaring himself "somewhat agitated", Kelly said Djokovic had provided evidence from "a professor and an eminently qualified physician" about a medical exemption.
"What more could this man have done?" the judge demanded.
Proceedings were repeatedly delayed as the court's online system crashed under a surge of worldwide interest.
