The #SupremeCourt declines to entertain a PIL which sought a declaration that there is no Freedom of Expression as regards subjudice matters and final orders except to the extent of fair and true reporting.
CJI Bobde: Read the law and you'll find what you're saying is the law.
Petitioner in person, Dr. Subhash Vijayran: Issue is how the media is acting these days and the faith of the people in the Court is getting eroded.
CJI Bobde: Your motives are good and noble but you are trying to get a relief which we cannot give.
CJI Bobde: It is like saying nobody should commit murder... It is true that nobody should commit murder but how can an order be passed for this. You withdraw the petition, we will not dismiss it.

#SupremeCourt to hear plea seeking directions for the counting of all VVPAT slips. The plea seeks the court's direction to the Election Commission and the Centre to ensure that voters are able to verify through VVPATs that their vote has been "counted as recorded" #EVM
Adv Nizamuddin Pasha makes submissions: voter secrecy is not compromised at any stage..also the my right to secrecy cannot..
I hope you understand what you are arguing and the practical results of it
Pasha: milord..
SC: if you still argue then fine..the last slip will always be at the bottom.. do not take more time..
Pasha: it is the rights context in which this debate lies..
SC: you have applied the doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: yes fundamental right to know for whom vote is casted, right to free and fair election etc.. these are all rights of voters and it does not affect somebody else
SC: Tell us which are the four prongs of doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: the doctrine comes when there are two conflicting rights.. i am a stage anterior to this..
SC: all fundamental rights can be curtailed on the basis of certain exceptions..
Adv Prashant Bhushan:in the VVPAT machine the light remains on for 7 seconds, if that light can be on always so that voter can see the slip cutting and falling or other slip being cut etc also.. that can be done if the glass cannot be changed.
Calcutta High Court bench led by Justice Joymalya Bagchi pulls up a junior advocate for coming to the court without the case papers and seeking an adjournment, in an alleged rape case.
Jr Adv: I am extremely sorry Milords.
J Bagchi: What sorry? Just write a letter to your client both you and your senior saying that the Judge was inclined to grant bail but because we were not prepared, you (accused) were not released on bail today. Please write that letter.
#CalcuttaHighCourt
J Bagchi: Henceforth, do not come to this court or rather any court without the case papers. And don't say sorry to us. Me and my brother judge aren't in jail. But someone, presumably who has given valuable consideration to you and your senior is in jail. And the trust reposed in you and your senior is being betrayed here. That is the first lesson you learn as a junior. Never betray the client.
#CalcuttaHighCourt
J Bagchi: Be always prepared. You spent 5 years in Law College, was it for the purpose of seeking adjournments.
Jr Adv: No Milords.
J Bagchi: Then tell your senior, sir if you send me to seek adjournment, give me papers and I should be atleast ready on facts. You couldn't degenerate yourself to the role of an adjournment lawyer. You must have self-respect and once start respecting yourself, your senior and everyone will start respecting you. Otherwise, no one will ever respect you.
Delhi court rejects Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea to allow him to meet his legal team 5 times a week instead of just 2 meetings as granted currently.
Court says Kejriwal used his legal meets to dictate certain directions to be passed to Delhi Water Minister through counsel.
@AamAadmiParty @dir_ed #ArvindKejiwal
"The Applicant has failed to satisfy this court that he has been
using the two permitted legal meetings per week solely for
the purpose of discussing the pending litigations with his
counsels. The status report/note filed by the Investigating
Agency indicates that the Applicant had dictated certain
directions for being passed on to the Water Minister, to one
of his lawyers (whose name he refused to disclose to the
Investigating Agency) during the course of a legal meeting," the Court said in its order.
It adds,
"It thus appears that the Applicant is not even utilizing the permitted two legal interviews per week with his counsels solely for discussing his pending litigations and has rather used the allotted time for purposes other than legal interviews in the aforesaid manner."

⚠️ Patanjali waived thumb under nose of state authority and state kept mum
⚠️ Mockery of Supreme Court being made, SC judges are not in ivory towers
