Former civil servants from an informal collective "Constitutional Conduct Group" seek to intervene in a plea before the Supreme Court against @SudarshanNewsTV 's #UPSCJihad program on the issue of recruitment of Muslims in UPSC.
@SureshChavhanke
@Vakeel_Sb
Plea states that several legal provisions prohibit, criminalize, or otherwise penalize what is colloquially known as "hate speech." The applicants have urged the court to set out the scope and meaning of hate speech for more clarity on the subject.

Supreme Court hears case pertaining to long pending bar council elections in States.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and NK Singh Image
On the last hearing, the court had said it will appoint retired high court judges for each state to oversee bar council polls.
Sr. Adv. Gopal Sankarnarayanan: over the last several years we have seen how the bar council of India has followed a particular pattern….

Sr. Adv. Manan Mishra, BCI Chairman: you are in the habit of making such allegations in all the courts against the BCI. You are making a mockery of the bar council.

Supreme Court resumes hearing case regarding appointment of information commissioners.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi Image
ASG KM Nataraj: the meeting unfortunately could not be held.

Prashant Bhushan: today there are 2/11 information commissioners. There are 9 vacancies. It’s been 2 years since this is happening. RTI is not at all a priority for this government.

Court: the committee might have been busy in elections. It is a possibility.
Bhushan: this is not the last instance. This has been going on repeatedly. So many orders. It is defeating a fundamental right declared by this Court. There are more than 25000 cases pending there. Now people have stopped going there. Hardly any progress in any states. Karnataka has appointed all. Otherwise Jharkhand is defunct. Himachal is defunct.

Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath to shortly deliver the AK Sen memorial lecture, 2025. Image
Justice Nath: I am dumbfounded whether or not to deliver this memorial lecture, because after hearing all the interesting anecdotes and episodes and about the life of Mr. Sen, of which I have neither been associated, acquainted, or known, like Mr. Bagchi is from Calcutta, Dr. Singhvi remembers back to his father's time with Mr. Sen, Mr. Jayanta Mitra also has so many. If they could have continued, I would have enjoyed more. But since I have been assigned this job of delivering the lecture, I think now the boring part starts. All of you will have to suffer me and listen to this lecture, which is a scripted one…. I don't have anecdotes to narrate. If I could be excused, I would be very happy and request all the panelists to continue with some more. And I would say that my lecture is delivered….Reasons to follow and we can go ahead.
Justice Nath: People often call AK Sen the inevitable law minister. By that, they mean he was the person you naturally turned to when the country needed someone sensible to steer legal reform, someone who could talk to courts, to parliament, to the government, and to citizens without raising the temperature. He combined a lawyer's eye for detail with a public servant's instinct to explain and include. His promise showed early. At the age of 26, he authored a book on commercial law. It was endorsed by his senior, Sri Sudhiranjan Das, who would later become Chief Justice of India.

Madras Bar Association case challenging the validity of the Tribunal Reforms Act

Senior Advocate Arvind Datar to make submissions today

CJI BR Gavai: Let us see if Attorney General appears at 2 pm. He had said he will

#SupremeCourt Image
Sr Adv Arvind Datar: This case started 34 years ago in 1991 so as to say.

CJI: AG attempted to make submissions on the merits of the provisions.

Datar: 50 years eligibility, 4 years tenure and search cum selection committee... These are the three areas..now for 50 years.... It is about giving a chance..

CJI: see I became a judge at 42, maybe I did not have adequate experience at that time

Datar: I don't want to commit contempt

Justice Vinod Chandran: order of a 50 year old tribunal judge will be dealt by a 45 year old High Court judge !
Senior Advocate Arvind Datar: typically an additional secretary is something which a candidate becomes at 50 ..... The best tribunal ITAT which functioned for so long and model followed throughout.. but now we have dismantled it in a very perverse way. No empirical evidence to show that 50 is the best entry age. Justice Ravindra Bhat devotes 14 paras why 50 should not be cut off and when you make a law you must see what SC has said.Image
