CBSE COMPARTMENT EXAMS:

Supreme Court will take up for hearing today petition challenging the CBSE notification of August 6 for holding of compartment exams.

#SupremeCourt @cbseindia29
#compartmentexam2020 Image
The petition challenges the notification on the grounds that holding of these exams would be detrimental to the health of the students.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia @cbseindia29 #compartmentexam2020
The Bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna begins hearing.
Counsel for the petitioner: Main grievance in the matter is that the main exam and the CBSE has not yet asserted why the compartment exam cannot be cancelled.
Petitioner: The students will ultimately come in the category of failed students since exams will not be able to be conducted by September and the students will not be able to apply for further studies.

#SupremeCourt #compartmentexam2020
SC asks petitioner for clarity on the prayer sought

SC: Without the exams, where do you stand? Is there a scheme by CBSE?

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #compartmentexam2020
Petitioner: The main exam was not conducted so why can there not be a scheme to cancel compartment exams.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #compartmentexam2020 @cbseindia29
Advocate Rupesh Kumar for CBSE: We have increased the centres for compartment exams to 1278. We have taken a decision that in a class where 40 students could sit, now only 12 will sit. We are taking all precautions.

#SupremeCourt #compartmentexam2020
SC: Have the exam dates been fixed?

Kumar: The notification is expected to come out today and the exams are likely to be in September only.
Supreme Court asks when the exams are proposed.

Kumar: End of September.

#SupremeCourt #compartmentexam2020 @cbseindia29
Supreme Court to hear the case on September 10 and asks CBSE to file a short affidavit

#SupremeCourt #compartmentexam2020 @cbseindia29
Petitioner points out that admissions in Universities will close by the time the exams are conducted.

Kumar for CBSE says that on the one hand petitioners want cancellation of exams and then also raise grievance of admissions.

Supreme Court resumes hearing plea seeking investigation into alleged financial irregularities and fund diversion by Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd (IHFL), now renamed Sammaan Capital Ltd.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and NK Singh Image
ASG SV Raju: your lordships had sought for the reports last time, I am ready with the reports.

Adv Prashant Bhushan: on the basis of SEBI affidavit this case is crying for an FIR. India bulls is a NBFC. They sent it to the NHB and MCA. Though MCA filed two affidavits before the high court, they don’t mention this before the high court. All that they say is yes certain violations have been noted and they have been compounded. Sameer Gehlot has fled the country. He has bought 5 star hotels, yachts, aircrafts there. SEBI has pointed out that there appears to be evergreening of loans. Shareholding of public is getting transferred to Sameer Gehlot. It needs a detailed investigation.
Justice Kant: very surprisingly CBI has a very cool kind of attitude in this case. We have never seen such a friendly approach by the CBI. This is ultimately public money. There is strong element of public interest. Even if 10% allegations are correct still there are large scale transactions which can be dubbed as dubious. You register an FIR. It will strengthen the hands of the ED, SFIO etc. whoever has to investigate. Why is the MCA indulging in closing the investigation like this? What is their interest in this?

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and NK Singh Image
On the last hearing, the court had said it will appoint retired high court judges for each state to oversee bar council polls.
Sr. Adv. Gopal Sankarnarayanan: over the last several years we have seen how the bar council of India has followed a particular pattern….

Sr. Adv. Manan Mishra, BCI Chairman: you are in the habit of making such allegations in all the courts against the BCI. You are making a mockery of the bar council.

Supreme Court resumes hearing case regarding appointment of information commissioners.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi Image
ASG KM Nataraj: the meeting unfortunately could not be held.

Prashant Bhushan: today there are 2/11 information commissioners. There are 9 vacancies. It’s been 2 years since this is happening. RTI is not at all a priority for this government.

Court: the committee might have been busy in elections. It is a possibility.
Bhushan: this is not the last instance. This has been going on repeatedly. So many orders. It is defeating a fundamental right declared by this Court. There are more than 25000 cases pending there. Now people have stopped going there. Hardly any progress in any states. Karnataka has appointed all. Otherwise Jharkhand is defunct. Himachal is defunct.

Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath to shortly deliver the AK Sen memorial lecture, 2025. Image
Justice Nath: I am dumbfounded whether or not to deliver this memorial lecture, because after hearing all the interesting anecdotes and episodes and about the life of Mr. Sen, of which I have neither been associated, acquainted, or known, like Mr. Bagchi is from Calcutta, Dr. Singhvi remembers back to his father's time with Mr. Sen, Mr. Jayanta Mitra also has so many. If they could have continued, I would have enjoyed more. But since I have been assigned this job of delivering the lecture, I think now the boring part starts. All of you will have to suffer me and listen to this lecture, which is a scripted one…. I don't have anecdotes to narrate. If I could be excused, I would be very happy and request all the panelists to continue with some more. And I would say that my lecture is delivered….Reasons to follow and we can go ahead.
Justice Nath: People often call AK Sen the inevitable law minister. By that, they mean he was the person you naturally turned to when the country needed someone sensible to steer legal reform, someone who could talk to courts, to parliament, to the government, and to citizens without raising the temperature. He combined a lawyer's eye for detail with a public servant's instinct to explain and include. His promise showed early. At the age of 26, he authored a book on commercial law. It was endorsed by his senior, Sri Sudhiranjan Das, who would later become Chief Justice of India.
