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 to deliver judgment on petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against Governor RN Ravi's refusal to grant assent to several bills passed by the State Legislative Assembly, including those concerning the appointment of Vice Chancellors to State Universities #SupremeCourtImage
The State had moved the Court seeking directions to the Governor/ President to decide or give assent to bills passed by the State legislature in a time-bound manner.

The State government has argued that the Governor, by indefinitely withholding assent on these bills, was holding the entire State to ransom. In such a situation, the Court must intervene, the Tamil Nadu government argued.Image

Justice Bela Trivedi: You could not have filed the SLP. If you don't get it you should not be a AoR. I will not leave the case just like that. You took undue advantage of some thing

SC: you have no option but to take this. Apology will not doImage
Justice Trivedi: judgment had come and you are challenging it. Should you not read the papers. Where is the scope for any explanation.

AoR: my learned friend

SC: don't say learned fried. We are agitated and pained. Day in and day out we are seeing this. It is you and only you. For surrendering you say condone delay. Then in condonation application.. what kind of language is being used
AoR: the plea has been drawn by someone else

Justice Trivedi: So what ?????? It bears your signature or not

AoR: it does.

[Can visually impaired become judges ? ]

#SupremeCourt to shortly deliver judgment on this significant issue

The court to hand down verdict in the suo motu case concerning visually impaired in judicial services Image
The genesis of the case lies in the rules governing judicial appointments in Madhya Pradesh which contained discriminatory language that prevented blind individuals from becoming judges.

This exclusion was challenged after a mother, whose visually impaired child aspired to the judiciary, wrote to the court, leading to a court-initiated public interest litigation.
Justice R Mahadevan: we have treated it as the most important case. We have touched upon constitutional framework also and institutional disability jurisprudence...
