Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath to shortly deliver the AK Sen memorial lecture, 2025.

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.

Justice Nath: I had suggested an auditorium…. Who appears for Andhra Pradesh? What’s your explanation? Why was no affidavit filed on the previous date?

CS Andhra Pradesh inaudible.

The Court reviews affidavits.

SG Tushar Mehta: all states have filed compliance affidavits.

Justice Nath: all states have filed their compliance affidavits. Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu have not filed.

Singhvi: many of the vital facts are not stated in the affidavits, number of ABC centres, number of dogs sterilised, budget allocations, unless these parameters are known it is not be possible to deal with it state wise. Some of my colleagues have done the exercise, they may make a chart..

Counsel: we’ll take the affidavits, make a chart.

Supreme Court hears plea pertaining to appointment of information commissioners.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi

Adv Prashant Bhushan: this is regarding appointment to information commissions. It has been 10 months from the last order. There are so many orders asking to appoint and the pendency is just skyrocketing. The RTI is being destroyed by not appointing information commissioners.

Bhushan: earlier what they had done is they air dropped one person, a journalist who was singing praises of the government and without any qualifications he was air dropped.

Justice Kant: sometimes people don’t apply. We can’t doubt everything. We exercise suo moto powers in case of senior designations because people don’t apply.
