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

A Battle for Alimony in the #SupremeCourt

Chief Justice B.R:
What is your demand (for alimony)?

Lady: Just the house in Mumbai, free of all costs. And ₹12 crore as maintenance.

CJI Gavai: But that house is in Kalpataru… one of the good builders. You’re an IT person. You’ve done your MBA. You’re in demand ..Bengaluru, Hyderabad... Why don’t you work also?”

“You had a marriage for just 18 months,” the CJI continues, “and now you also want a BMW?” 18 months marriage and you want one crore for each month!

Lady: But he is very rich. And he sought the nullity of the marriage claiming I’m schizophrenic.

Sr Adv Madhavi Divan for the Husband: She has to work also. Everything cannot be demanded like this.

Lady: Do I look Schizophrenic My Lords

CJI Gavai: File income tax returns. But understand you cannot claim the properties of his father also.

Case again at 2 pm.Image
Bench reassembled

CJI Gavai: Where are the returns?

Lady: Yes it is here

Sr Adv Divan: Please give the entire copy .. see 2015-16 there is high income because he was employed then Image
CJI: Income in 2015-16

Divan: 2 crore 50 lakhs and 1 crore bonus itself..there are also allegations of proxy businesses. Let's take that also for example.. those balance sheets also there. There is nothing to talk about.. if he can just keep the job

Plea in #SupremeCourt seeks FIR against sitting Delhi HC judges

Adv: This plea seeks registration of FIR against sitting HC judges. The issue is when I am the topper of the exam, but all judges.. ideally case should be heard by court 1..

Justice Surya Kant: Are you wanting to argue or you want to do bench hunting? We understand this kind of publicity stunts. Which college you did graduate and MBA?

Adv: engineering from DU and MBA From IIM Kozhikode

Justice Kant: still you make such scandalous allegationsImage
Adv: If this can be treated it as a civil petition.. then this court can..

Justice Kant: just because there are illegal, perverse petitions being filed . You cannot ask FIRs against judges. How many cases have you done

Adv: I did law for this case only

Justice Kant: that's what I thought. Tell me under which law judges are liable to be prosecuted for giving judgments against you.
Justice Kant: What happened to your contempt plea? Why unconditional apology to the tribunal then?

Adv: the court officer told me that earlier order passed was destroyed. the case was earlier only adjourned..

Justice Kant: why unconditional apology

Adv: Justice Vipin Sanghi told me to apologise to tribunal when I moved high court

Judge: Yes, whatever you are speaking to someone, you get all the related content on phone.

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay S Oka to shortly deliver the Late Justice H.R. Khanna Memorial Lecture on "Independence of Judiciary" organised by the Goa HC Bar Association

#SupremeCourt Image
Justice AS Oka: I must clarify that when it comes to independence of judiciary, irrespective of the party in power, irrespective of the fact whether there is emergency or not, there is always a threat to independence of judiciary. And therefore, the members of the judicial fraternity, namely the judges and members of the bar have to be always alert and ensure that independence remains
Justice Oka: Let us also say here that there are judges and Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, who have been already forgotten, but there are large number of judges of the High Court who never went to the Supreme Court, and they are remembered forever. There are judges of the Supreme Court who did not become Chief Justices of India, but they are remembered forever. I am giving an example of our Mumbai High Court only biopic. We had Chief Justice M.C. Chagla, Justice Chittutosh Mukherjee, Justice P.D. Desai, and Justice M.L. Pence. These great judges never went to the Supreme Court, but we fondly remember them. I can add many names to that, like Justice Vimadala, Justice Lentin, and so many other names can be added.
