Supreme Court hears plea by Telangana government seeking directions to halt the expansion works allegedly being undertaken by the Andhra Pradesh government to link the Polavaram project to Banakacherla or Nallamala Sagar without the required statutory approvals

Sr Adv AM Singhvi argues

#SupremeCourtImage
Sr Adv Singhvi: Addition of lift component near barrages was also not discarded. CWC just last month directed that no in principle consent should be given. The committee cannot be rendered infructuous before it is made.
CJI Kant: We are seeing whether there is a violation or attempt to violate the award by AP govt. Polavaram project is a central govt project and you are correct that nothing can be added or diverted without permission of centre.. so you can write to the committee

Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi for AP govt intervenes

Supreme Court hears plea seeking reservation for specially abled lawyers in the Bar Council of India

Bench: CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi Image
Sr. Adv. Manan Mishra (BCI Chairman): there is no scope for their adjustment in the main council. But we can make adjustments in committees.

CJI: ensure there is adequate representation.
Sr. Adv. Indira Jaising: they shouldn’t be asked to pay the fee for nomination form while contesting elections.

CJI: Mr Mishra, for specially abled persons you only charge a nominal fee when they contest elections. It can be a symbolic amount. Instead of 1.25 lakhs it could be 25000.

Jaising: 25000 may also be a little high.
