#KashmirLockdown: There is a serious situation there. They might be apprehending law and order, says Mishra J.

Attorney, how long are you going to continue with this? Justice Arun Mishra to AG KK Venugopal.

#KashmirLockdown: AG KK Venugopal says Union govt has taken into consideration all relevant aspects. Says it took 3 months to tackle a similar situation in 2016.

But in this case it might be settled in a few days but it depends on the fact situation, says KK Venugopal

#Kashmir

#Kashmir: It is in our interest and interest of Union govt and State that peace is restored, says AG KK Venugopal.

#Kashmir: Hospitals, schools and police stations, that is all I ask, submits Menaka Guruswamy.

We have to give them (Govt) some time too. It is a serious situation, says Justice MR Shah.

#Kashmir: We are committed to ensuring least human rights violations take place, AG KK Venugopal.

So far not even a single loss of life, Centre tells Supreme Court.

#Kashmir: Decisions are taken district wise depending on situation in each district, says Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.

#Kashmir: Shall we come back in 2 weeks?, asks Menaka Guruswamy.

Why should we keep it pending?, Justice MR Shah.

They cannot say no accountability. If their intention is to make Kashmiris full citizens, then they cant restrict them totally, Menaka Guruswamy.

MK Stalin case: Supreme Court hears plea by AIADMK leader SA Duraiswamy challenging TN CM Stalin’s 2011 assembly election win from Kolathur constituency.

The plea alleges that Stalin and his party representatives indulged in corrupt practices, particularly by providing money and gifts to secure votes.

Bench: Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi.

Sr. Adv. DS Naidu, appearing for Duraiswamy refers to a prosecution witness statement:

Naidu: the witness is the editor of a magazine called “kumudam snehidi”.

Court: what’s the meaning of that?

Another counsel: kumudum means lotus. Snehidi means friend.

Naidu: a friend of lotus. May be figurative meaning.

Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal (for Stalin): most inappropriate definition.

Court bursts into laughter.

Naidu: kumudam was once India’s largest selling family magazine. It’s basically a women’s magazine. Like women’s era. It’s the women’s wing of kumudam publications. Perhaps, the lotus is being compared with women and Snehidi is the friend of the woman, or the fairer sex.

Justice Maheshwari: (in jest): we can’t say anything…

[Jitendra Kumar Mehta vs ED]

Plea concerning seizure of electronic devices during criminal investigations

Sr Adv A Sundaram: some sort of information is being looked at. No predicate offence against me and my phone is being looked to find a link with predicate offence. There needs to be some guidelines to stop such fishing and roving inquiry. Where is my privacy I ask ? If my phone contain something.. then how it affects them.. there is nothing.

CJI: tell us why your mobile has been taken away ? There are people siphoning off thousands of crores and phones cannot be looked into? If they rely on something which is not related to this then we can intervene. We can look at it from case to case also. But not like this. Let them see first.

Sundaram: Then my plea becomes infructuous!

CJI: why did they come to you.

Sundaram: please see the summons, nothing against me.

Justice Bagchi: This is a fallacious argument by you Mr Sundaram. ECIR is in respect of an offence and not an individual. There is no notice needed for seizing a device.

CJI: you are behaving as if you have nothing to do. ED just raided your place early morning as if you called them for tea.

Order: Issue notice.
