सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के अधिवक्ता और भारतीय राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार संरक्षण परिषद के अध्यक्ष डॉ. एंथनी राजू, माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में एक ऐतिहासिक जनहित याचिका (PIL) दायर करने वाले हैं, जिसमें भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण (NHAI) और भारत संघ से जवाबदेही की माँग की गई है।
डॉ. राजू ने राज्यों के राष्ट्रीय राजमार्गों पर 3,200 किलोमीटर से ज़्यादा की यात्रा करके ज़मीनी हकीकत की जाँच की। निष्कर्ष चौंकाने वाली लापरवाही, शोषण और नागरिकों के अधिकारों के उल्लंघन को उजागर करते हैं।
अत्यधिक टोल शुल्क के बावजूद, निम्नलिखित खतरनाक मुद्दे बने हुए हैं:
बाड़ नहीं - आवारा मवेशी और पशु राजमार्गों में घुस रहे हैं।
स्ट्रीट लाइटिंग नहीं - रात में राजमार्ग मौत का जाल बन जाते हैं।
कोई एम्बुलेंस या ट्रॉमा केयर यूनिट नहीं - कोई आपातकालीन प्रतिक्रिया नहीं।
हाईवे पर गश्त/पुलिस की मौजूदगी नहीं - यात्री असुरक्षित।
टूटी-फूटी, क्षतिग्रस्त, गड्ढों से भरी सड़कें - जानलेवा दुर्घटनाएँ।
टोल प्लाजा पर गंदे और अस्वास्थ्यकर शौचालय - गरिमा का हनन।
सीसीटीवी निगरानी नहीं - अनियंत्रित, असुरक्षित राजमार्ग।
बिना वर्दी या पहचान पत्र के टोल कर्मचारी - कोई जवाबदेही नहीं।
> "मैंने इन स्थितियों की पुष्टि करने के लिए स्वयं 3,200 किलोमीटर से अधिक की यात्रा की है। वास्तविकता भयावह है। नागरिकों को टोल टैक्स देने के लिए मजबूर किया जा रहा है, लेकिन बदले में उन्हें असुरक्षित सड़कें, कोई सुरक्षा नहीं, कोई चिकित्सा सहायता नहीं और कोई सम्मान नहीं मिलता। अगर ऐसे बुनियादी और महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दों पर ध्यान नहीं दिया जाता है तो टोल क्यों वसूला जाए? यह शोषण से कम नहीं है और हमारे संविधान के अनुच्छेद 21 के तहत जीवन के अधिकार का उल्लंघन है," डॉ. एंथनी राजू ने कहा।
जनहित याचिका में निम्नलिखित मांगें शामिल होंगी:
एक राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग सुरक्षा एवं जवाबदेही नीति,
अनिवार्य बाड़बंदी, प्रकाश व्यवस्था, सीसीटीवी और आघात-देखभाल सेवाएँ,
राजमार्ग पुलिस और एम्बुलेंस की तैनाती,
तत्काल सड़क मरम्मत और रखरखाव,
टोल संग्रह बनाम प्रदान की गई सुविधाओं का स्वतंत्र ऑडिट।
यह जनहित याचिका यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए एक मील का पत्थर साबित होगी कि राजमार्ग लोगों की जान जोखिम में डालने के बजाय उनकी रक्षा करें।

Attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta: A Direct Assault on Democracy and Public Safety
New Delhi, 20 August 2025 – The shocking attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during a public hearing (Jan Sunwai) has drawn widespread condemnation across the country.
Speaking on the incident, Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, strongly denounced the assault, calling it an “extremely condemnable act that shakes the very foundation of democracy and public safety.”
The assailant, identified as a resident of Rajkot, Gujarat, allegedly managed to reach close proximity to the Chief Minister before attempting to assault her. This incident has raised serious questions about the security of elected representatives in India’s capital city.
Dr. Raju stated,
“If the Chief Minister of Delhi is not safe in her own state, how can the common man in this country ever feel secure? Such politically motivated and violent acts cannot be tolerated in a democratic society. Law enforcement and security agencies must take immediate corrective measures to ensure that such lapses do not occur again.”
While expressing solidarity, Dr. Raju extended heartfelt prayers for Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s speedy recovery and reaffirmed his commitment to defending human rights, civil liberties, and the democratic fabric of the nation.
This attack, according to him, is not just a strike on an individual, but an assault on India’s democratic ethos, rule of law, and the spirit of justice. He urged the authorities to conduct a transparent and time-bound investigation into the incident, and to bring the culprits to justice without delay.

Uttarakhand Anti-Conversion Bill — “Punitive Laws Cannot Replace Justice Reforms”
Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court & Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council
New Delhi, 19 August 2025 — The Government of Uttarakhand has introduced the Freedom of Religion (Amendment) Bill, 2025, proposing harsher punishments for alleged forced religious conversions, including life imprisonment. The Bill follows the template of Uttar Pradesh’s stringent law and allows non-bailable offences, arrest without warrant, and property seizure.
Responding to this move, Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court of India and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, issued a strong statement:
> “While the focus is being shifted to religious conversion laws, India’s real justice crisis remains unresolved — crores of criminal cases pending in courts, lakhs of undertrials languishing without trial, and severe shortages in judge strength. The nation must prioritize judicial capacity, bail reforms, prison decongestion, and speedy trials over introducing more punitive statutes. Longer sentences cannot substitute systemic reforms.”
Dr. Raju emphasized that India’s prisons are bursting at over 130% occupancy, with some states crossing 250–400% overcrowding levels, and undertrials make up nearly 76% of inmates. “This is not just a legal issue, but a serious human rights crisis,” he added.
Key Concerns Raised by Dr. Raju:
Judicial Vacancies: Thousands of judge posts remain unfilled; the ratio of judges to population is among the lowest globally.
Undertrial Crisis: Lakhs of undertrials remain in jail for years without conviction, violating the constitutional guarantee of Article 21 (Right to Life & Liberty).
Prison Overcrowding: Many prisons operate at dangerous levels of congestion, undermining rehabilitation and basic human dignity.
Bail Reforms: Despite repeated Supreme Court directions, arbitrary denial of bail keeps the poor behind bars.
Access to Justice: Legal aid remains weak, leaving vulnerable communities unrepresented.
The Way Forward
Dr. Raju urged governments to:
1. Fill judicial vacancies on a war footing.
2. Strengthen fast-track courts and digital caseflow management.
3. Strictly enforce Supreme Court guidelines on bail.
4. Activate Undertrial Review Committees across states.
5. Invest in legal aid, prison reform, and human rights protections.
“Justice delayed is justice denied. Instead of expanding prisons with new convicts, we must reduce pendency, strengthen courts, and uphold the dignity of every citizen.” — Dr. Anthony Raju

We Demand Similar Hard Action by MCD to Curb Illegal Waste Dumping – Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court & Global Environmentalist
New Delhi, August 17, 2025 —
Welcoming the bold decision by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) to deploy armed security personnel and police support to curb illegal waste dumping, Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court, Chairman of the All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice (AICHLS), and Global Environmentalist, has called upon the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to immediately replicate these measures in the national capital.
The Gurugram model involves strict coordination between civic authorities and police, impounding vehicles engaged in illegal dumping, and ensuring criminal proceedings against violators. According to Dr. Raju, this represents a “no-nonsense approach to urban environmental protection” and sets an example for other metropolitan cities.
Dr. Anthony Raju said:
“The menace of illegal waste dumping is as grave in Delhi as in Gurugram. The MCD must learn from this decisive action and implement similar strict measures without delay. Citizens of Delhi deserve a clean and safe environment. Strong enforcement is the only deterrent against habitual violators.”
He further emphasized that Delhi, being the capital of India, must lead by example in enforcing environmental discipline and adopting zero tolerance towards pollution and illegal dumping.
Key Demands by Dr. Anthony Raju
1. Deployment of enforcement squads with armed personnel in Delhi, on the lines of MCG.
2. Strict impounding of vehicles engaged in waste dumping.
3. Immediate criminal proceedings against habitual offenders.
4. Public awareness and community participation to ensure sustainable waste management.
5. Transparency in civic enforcement to restore public confidence in MCD’s governance.

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने POCSO मामले में पिता की उम्रकैद बरकरार रखी, डॉ. एंथनी राजू ने फैसले को सराहा
तारीख: 11 अगस्त 2025 | स्थान: नई दिल्ली
मुख्य खबर:
माननीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट ऑफ इंडिया ने नाबालिग बेटी से यौन शोषण के दोषी एक पिता की उम्रकैद की सजा बरकरार रखते हुए इसे “परिवारिक विश्वास को चकनाचूर करने वाला अनाचारजन्य अपराध” करार दिया। अदालत ने कहा कि जब एक पिता – जो ढाल, मार्गदर्शक और सुरक्षा का प्रतीक होना चाहिए – स्वयं अपराधी बन जाता है, तो यह पीड़िता की मानसिक और भावनात्मक सुरक्षा को हमेशा के लिए तोड़ देता है।
डॉ. एंथनी राजू, एडवोकेट, सुप्रीम कोर्ट, चेयरमैन – ऑल इंडिया काउंसिल ऑफ ह्यूमन राइट्स, लिबर्टीज एंड सोशल जस्टिस, और POCSO मामलों के प्रमुख विशेषज्ञ ने कहा – “यह फैसला अत्यंत सराहनीय और आवश्यक है, ताकि समाज में ऐसे अपराधों के खिलाफ मजबूत निवारक संदेश जाए।”
उन्होंने कहा कि POCSO अधिनियम के प्रावधानों को शून्य सहनशीलता के साथ लागू करना आवश्यक है, जिससे बच्चों की सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित हो, न्याय प्रणाली पर भरोसा कायम रहे और यह स्पष्ट हो जाए कि कानून के सामने कोई भी व्यक्ति – चाहे परिवार के भीतर हो – अपराध से बच नहीं सकता।
समाज के लिए संदेश:
यह फैसला न केवल एक कानूनी मिसाल है, बल्कि यह भी याद दिलाता है कि बच्चों की सुरक्षा सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी है और अदालतें पीड़ितों के साथ हमेशा खड़ी रहेंगी।

SUPREME COURT LANDMARK JUDGMENT (2025)
“Victim’s Credible Testimony Alone Is Sufficient for Conviction in Rape Cases — Even Without External Injuries or Medical Evidence”
Case Summary:
In [State vs. Accused – Name Withheld], the Supreme Court of India upheld the conviction of a man accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl. The accused challenged his conviction on the ground that no external injuries were found on the victim and medical evidence was lacking.
However, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, in a bench led by Justice Anjaria, ruled that the consistent, natural, and credible testimony of the minor victim was sufficient in itself to uphold the conviction.
The Court stated unequivocally that:
Corroborative medical evidence is not a legal necessity if the testimony is trustworthy.
Mere absence of injuries does not undermine the credibility of a rape victim.
The Indian Evidence Act does not demand corroboration where the statement of the prosecutrix is found to be reliable.
Legal Expert Analysis by Dr. Anthony Raju
Advocate, Supreme Court of India
Chairman – Indian National Human Rights Protection Council
Most Trusted Criminal Advocate | POCSO & False FIR Expert
> “This Supreme Court judgment is a powerful step forward in ensuring that justice is not denied to survivors due to procedural loopholes or absence of physical signs.
In rape cases—especially involving minors—delayed reporting, fear, and trauma often result in minimal or no physical injury. Courts must recognize that emotional scars run deeper than physical wounds.
As one of the most experienced criminal lawyers at the Supreme Court, I stand by the principle that a victim’s voice, when consistent and unshaken, holds full legal weight. This verdict discourages malicious defense tactics that exploit medical technicalities and reaffirms India's faith in victim-centric justice.
The ruling will strengthen prosecution in genuine cases while continuing to uphold the rule of law in preventing false implications.”

Supreme Court: Section 35 BNSS Notices Must Be Served Physically – WhatsApp or Electronic Modes Not Valid
In a landmark judgment, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has ruled that notices under Section 35 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 must be served in physical form only. The use of WhatsApp or other electronic communication methods does not satisfy the legal mandate under the law.
???? What is Section 35 BNSS?
Section 35 outlines the preconditions and procedure for arrest by the Investigating Agency, especially in cases without a warrant. It ensures that an individual is given a fair opportunity to appear and cooperate with the investigation before any coercive action is taken
Strong Review and Legal Appreciation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Landmark Judgment on Section 35 of BNSS, 2023
By Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India
Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council
I respectfully extend my sincere appreciation and heartfelt admiration to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for its recent and landmark ruling regarding Section 35 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.
The Court has rightly held that notices issued under Section 35 must be served physically, and that service through electronic means such as WhatsApp or other digital platforms cannot be considered legally valid.
This judgment is a bold affirmation of constitutional safeguards, especially those under Article 21, which guarantees every citizen the fundamental right to life and personal liberty. By emphasizing the importance of physical service of notice prior to arrest, the Supreme Court has reestablished the core principles of fairness, transparency, and due process in criminal jurisprudence.
It sends a clear message that law enforcement authorities cannot bypass legal procedures under the guise of convenience or technology. Every accused person is entitled to know, understand, and respond to legal action through a process that is clear, accountable, and verifiable.
This verdict is a vital step in protecting the dignity and liberty of individuals, preventing arbitrary arrests, and promoting a people-centric justice system rooted in the rule of law.
On behalf of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, I commend the Hon’ble Supreme Court for standing strong in defense of human rights and legal ethics. This judgment will empower advocates, rights defenders, and the general public alike, reinforcing trust in the legal system.
We urge all stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies and legal practitioners, to uphold the true spirit of this ruling and ensure its uniform implementation across the country.

Shri Shibu Soren – The True Leader of Humanity
Heartfelt Condolences by Dr. Anthony Raju
Advocate, Supreme Court of India
Chairman – All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice
"The passing of Shri Shibu Soren, a towering figure in Indian politics and a true icon of tribal rights and social justice, is an irreparable loss to the nation.
I had the honour of meeting him during the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha movement, where his passion for justice, grassroots empowerment, and the upliftment of the marginalized left a deep impact on me.
He was not just a political leader—he was a symbol of resistance, resilience, and righteousness.
His commitment to human rights and the tribal community remains a guiding light for us all.
I consider him my inspiration and role model in the human rights movement.
May his soul rest in eternal peace."

Kerala Nuns Granted Bail in Chhattisgarh ‘Conversion and Trafficking’ Case
Issued by: All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice (AICHLS)
Led by: Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India
*Chairman – AICHLS | Date: 1 August 2025
In a notable development, the local court in Chhattisgarh has granted bail to Sisters Preeti Marry and Vandana Francis—Catholic nuns from Kerala—and co-accused Sukhman Mandavi, who were arrested last Friday at Durg railway station. They were falsely implicated in a case filed under the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Act and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, based on a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal worker.
The court, after reviewing the available facts, observed that continued judicial custody was unwarranted.
Their advocate, Mr. Amrito Das, stated:
“The learned judge rightly observed there was no legal basis to prolong their detention and granted them bail.”
Questionable FIR and Witness Intimidation
One of the three tribal women allegedly involved has gone on record stating she was threatened and physically coerced by individuals linked to a right-wing organization to falsely accuse the nuns of conversion and trafficking. She also alleged that the FIR was influenced by statements made by members of the Bajrang Dal and not by free testimony.
AICHLS Calls for Accountability
Under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Raju, the All India Council of Human Rights strongly condemns the increasing misuse of legal provisions to target minority communities, missionaries, and women working in grassroots service. The Council views this bail order as a partial restoration of legal balance but insists that:
The misuse of the Freedom of Religion law must be legally challenged.
There should be independent investigation into the threats faced by the tribal women.
Law enforcement must be held accountable for acting on politically motivated complaints without proper evidence.
Our Next Legal and Advocacy Steps
AICHLS will be submitting complaints to the National Human Rights Commission and National Commission for Women regarding the procedural lapses and harassment.
A dedicated legal monitoring team has been assigned to track the case progress.
A fact-finding report is under preparation and will be shared with national and international human rights organizations.
Statement by Dr. Anthony Raju
“This is not just a legal issue—it’s a matter of fundamental rights, religious freedom, and protection of women in service. We stand with the innocent and demand that truth prevails over propaganda. No one should be criminalized for their faith, compassion, or humanitarian work.”
