Bombay HC asks Sr Adv Milind Sathe (for petitioner): Have you made any application (complaint) before News Broadcasting Standards Authority?

This is not a statutory body. They may not be amendable under Article 32. Please decide the larger issues in the case, Sathe urges Court
They should first approach the Press Council and other authorities. Let them look into the matter first: ASG Anil C Singh urges the Court.
On September 3, a coordinate Bench had asked the respondents to file their reply affidavits. It was also expected to exercise restraint in regard to reporting of investigation in a manner that could hamper or prejudice the ongoing investigation...: Court records

Sr Adv Rachana Srivastava, VP SCBA: CJI Chandrachud was a part of 23 constitution benches. Your journey in the legal world has pushed boundaries. You leave behind a court which has hope for all of us. You had unwavering dedication to the rule of law.
Sr Adv Kapil Sibal, President SCBA: when you have to journey the judge of any judge what is the benchmark. We can criticise a judge all we want. You have to judge the man in the backdrop of the times we live in. When we discuss him, his manner, his affability which is of one of the greatest judges of this country.Image

Attorney General R Venkataramani: Recently in Brazil after the conference ended everyone started dancing. what if I ask everyone here to dance on your retirement and I am sure most will vote in favour of me.
SG Tushar Mehta: Complete impartiality in dispensation of justice. We were never hesitant in good or bad matters before you. For govt we won few we lost many but we knew that we did not get an opportunity to convince the court and put our point forward. My lord has always taken a stand as the karta of the family

#BREAKING Supreme Court to State of UP: How can you just enter someone's home and demolish it without following course of law or serving notice?

CJI DY Chandrachud: We are not inclined to accept the request of the State of UP to adjourn the proceedings since pleadings are completed and the court is required to evaluate the materials placed before to decide legality of action.

#SupremeCourtofIndia @myogiofficeImage
CJI: The following position emerges from narration of facts: state of UP has not produced original width of state highway notified as national highway, no material was placed to show whether any inquiry was conducted to figure out encroachers, there is no material produced to indicate that land was acquired before demolition was carried out. The state has failed to disclose the precise extent of encroachments, the width of the existing road, the width of notified highway, extent of property of petitioner which feel within central line of highway and why the demolition was needed beyond the area of alleged encroachment. NHRC report shows demolition was far in excess than the area of alleged encroachment. #SupremeCourtofIndia
#BREAKING

CJI: The demolition was carried out without any notice or disclosure to the occupiers of the basis of the demarcation or the extent of demolition to be carried out. It is clear demolition was high handed and without the authority of law. The petitioner states the demolition was only because the petitioner had flagged irregularities in road construction in newspaper report. Such action by the state cannot be countenanced and when dealing with private property law has to be followed.
