Plea before Jharkhand HC challenging the conduct of #NLAT by NLSIU for its law school admissions this year to be taken at the end of the list today

Advocates Shubham Gautam & Baibhaw Gahlaut to appear for petitioners

Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya to appear for NLSIU @poovayya Image
Hearing begins. Advocate Shubham Gupta making submissions for petitioners #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Counsel for petitioner taking Court through chain of events leading up to NLSIU's announcement of NLAT #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
How are you prejudiced? Court asks. Counsel - Examination pattern for NLAT is different from CLAT. Only 10 days' notice given #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
What do you mean by changing pattern? Is there a complete deviation which requires students to study a completely different subject? Court asks#NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Why is the petition filed before Jharkhand High Court? What if students from each state file writ petitions before respective HCs? What if one HC stays the exam and another HC dismisses it? Justice Shankar asks. #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Judge miffed with lawyer leaving video conference midway. "Young lawyers must know the decorum of the Court", Justice Shankar #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
NLSIU and Consortium office are situated in Karnataka. How can Jharkhand HC hear the matter? Justice Shankar asks. If a matter has pan-India ramifications, how can we adjudicate it? #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Counsel for Union informs High Court that another plea is pending before Supreme Court. When is the matter coming up? judge asks #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Senior Adv Sajan Poovayya points to another petition filed before Madhya Pradesh HC. Notice has not been issued b SC or MP HC, @poovayya points out. #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial
It is not that the Jharkhand HC does not have jurisdiction, but it may choose not to exercise its jurisdiction on grounds of forum non conveniens, @poovayya #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial
Forum non conveniens would come into play in this case, Jharkhand HC says. It is a difficult situation when petitions are filed in different HCs.

This is the first writ petition filed in the country, counsel for petitioner says.

@poovayya #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial
What is these matters are not listed before SC and MP HC before exam takes place? This notification is in blatant violation of a Supreme Court order on CLAT exam, counsel for petitioner. #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial
While NLSIU has provided option for students to appear in test centres, it has said in its notification that NLISU will not be responsible for technical faults, internet disconnection etc. There is no such centre in Jharkhand, counsel argues. #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial
Poovayya - We have decreased the internet requirements to 512 kbps. NLSIU has made special arrangement with @idia to cater to needs of students who don't have access to computers/internet #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
We have reduced the number of questions without changing the pattern. We are not testing students on aptitude of law, Poovayya.

30,298 students have already registered. Only a handful of students are raising grievances against NLAT #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Poovayya taking Court through the NLAT notification and the justification for holding a separate entrance exam #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
I want to find out if students from Jharkhand will face any difficulty in writing the exam, Justice Shankar.
Arrangements will be made in case students are facing difficulties. Even lawyers are offering their offices to students who want to write the exam, Poovayya. #NLSIU #NLAT
NLSIU VC (in capacity of Secretary Treasurer of NLU Consortium) filed affidavit in Delhi HC saying that online exam would not be feasible for CLAT, counsel for petitioner argues #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
Will separate exam be held only this year or every year? Court asks. Poovayya - Decision has been taken for this year. Executive Council of NLSIU will meet and decide future course of action #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya
The main issue is that of jurisdiction of the High Court, given the pan-India ramifications of the exam, Court posts matter for orders tomorrow. #NLSIU #NLAT @NLSIUofficial @poovayya

Supreme Court hears a petition urging for the postponement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams

Sr Adv Madhavi Divan: There are students from Kalahandi and other rural areas who will not be able to appear for the exams on 8th and 14th May since elections are on. It can be on 7th and 13th may.

#caexams #SupremeCourt #LokSabhaElections2024Image
Divan: We are not asking for a bulk postponement. If there is a bunch of candidates from Rajouri. Now they can only come by public transport and with security issues it is impossible to travel and public buses also withdrawn during elections. Hostels are also being asked to vacate. One we are asking postpone and if not possible then atleast allow an out option so that one does not suffer if they are not appearing on May 8 and May 14
#caexams
Divan: Other option can be to increase centres. Delhi, Mumbai students will not suffer. But those coming from north east etc who need to travel states have to suffer. Petitioners are candidates who will not be affected but this plea is for the public interest.

Delhi High Court castigates Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi government and AAP led MCD for its failure to provide textbooks to over 2 lakh students.

Court says Delhi govt is only interested in appropriation of power and by not resigning, despite his arrest, Arvind Kejriwal has put personal interest over the national interest.
#DelhiHighCourt @AamAadmiParty
@ArvindKejriwalImage
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora made these scathing remarks while dealing with a PIL raising the issue that the students studying in MCD schools have not received textbooks and are studying in tin sheds because of the logjam in the civic body.
ACJ Manmohan also commented on the conduct of Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj and said that he had turned a blind eye to the plight of students and is shedding crocodile tears.

Is Arvind Kejriwal deliberately eating mangoes and sweets to spike sugar level and create ground for bail?

Delhi court to examine Tihar Jail report shortly after ED's allegations.

Hearing to start at 2PM.

#ArvindKejriwal @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal Image
Yesterday, ED's Special Counsel Zoheb Hossain had informed the Rouse Avenue Court that the details came to be known after the agency wrote to Tihar jail and sought information about Kejriwal's diet and the medicines being taken by him.
Kejriwal's lawyers have refuted ED's allegations and said that these are merely allegations for the media.

They have alleged that ED does not want Kejriwal to even have home cooked food which has been allowed by the Court.
