Sonam Wangchuk, Students' Detention, Textbooks: Where Do Courts Come in?

Two recent habeas corpus petitions – in the Sonam Wangchuk case and on the detention of 10 students and activists in Delhi – raise questions around police action and when and how the judiciary intervenes. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has not only banned a class 8 textbook but also told the government to no longer associate with some of the experts who drafted it. And in New York City, mayor Zohran Mamdani's remarks about Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa have caused a stir. To discuss all of this, The Wire's Jahnavi Sen is joined by lawyers Gautam Bhatia and Shahrukh Alam.
