Devendra Fadnavis government had asked me not to appear in Maratha reservation case, Maharashtra AG Ashutosh Kumbhakoni says

@Dev_Fadnavis

After a former standing counsel alleged that Maharashtra AG Ashutosh Kumbhakoni was responsible for Supreme Court verdict against #Marathareservation, the AG has cleared the air, saying that it was the erstwhile BJP government that did not want him to argue the case.
Soon after the #MarathaReservation verdict, the state’s former standing counsel Nishant Katneshwarkar claimed that AG Kumbhakoni had not argued for the state even once in either the Bombay High Court or the Supreme Court.
The hearing in the Bombay HC started in February 2019. In January 2019, the Maratha group of people had a meeting in Sholapur where a decision was taken that former Advocate General VA Thorat should appear in the case. #MarathaReservation #Maratha_Reservation Image
CASTE - Thorat a Maratha while Kumbhakoni was not!

Sources close to the meeting that was held in Sholapur confirmed to Bar & Bench that such a decision was indeed taken, as Thorat was a Maratha by caste and AG Kumbhakoni was not.

#MarathaReservation While blaming the AG for the debacle in SC, Katneshwarkar stated that the verdict was "shocking" for people of Maharashtra.

Source close to the AG's office speculate that one of reasons why Katneshwarkar has blamed Kumbhakoni for the verdict is: Image

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

#SupremeCourt 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.
