The Central government on Thursday told the Supreme Court that the movie Udaipur Files is about a particular crime and not against any particular community

barandbench.com/news/udaipur-f…

Justice Kant: Have you filed any Petition in HC? How did Mr Sibal say that it was filed. First go to HC and pursue and then come here. Now other side says he is satisfied with central govt order and he does not want to pursue the case here. So you go to HC now. Why waste our time.

Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: This can be transferred to the HC. I can go to the HC but matter was pending here.

Sr Adv Gaurav Bhatia: we are withdrawing it.

Sibal: that is fine ..we will challenge the Central govt order in HC

A Battle for Alimony in the #SupremeCourt

Chief Justice B.R:
What is your demand (for alimony)?

Lady: Just the house in Mumbai, free of all costs. And ₹12 crore as maintenance.

CJI Gavai: But that house is in Kalpataru… one of the good builders. You’re an IT person. You’ve done your MBA. You’re in demand ..Bengaluru, Hyderabad... Why don’t you work also?”

“You had a marriage for just 18 months,” the CJI continues, “and now you also want a BMW?” 18 months marriage and you want one crore for each month!

Lady: But he is very rich. And he sought the nullity of the marriage claiming I’m schizophrenic.

Sr Adv Madhavi Divan for the Husband: She has to work also. Everything cannot be demanded like this.

Lady: Do I look Schizophrenic My Lords

CJI Gavai: File income tax returns. But understand you cannot claim the properties of his father also.

Case again at 2 pm.

Bench reassembled

CJI Gavai: Where are the returns?

Lady: Yes it is here

Sr Adv Divan: Please give the entire copy .. see 2015-16 there is high income because he was employed then

CJI: Income in 2015-16

Divan: 2 crore 50 lakhs and 1 crore bonus itself..there are also allegations of proxy businesses. Let's take that also for example.. those balance sheets also there. There is nothing to talk about.. if he can just keep the job

Plea in #SupremeCourt seeks FIR against sitting Delhi HC judges

Adv: This plea seeks registration of FIR against sitting HC judges. The issue is when I am the topper of the exam, but all judges.. ideally case should be heard by court 1..

Justice Surya Kant: Are you wanting to argue or you want to do bench hunting? We understand this kind of publicity stunts. Which college you did graduate and MBA?

Adv: engineering from DU and MBA From IIM Kozhikode

Justice Kant: still you make such scandalous allegations

Adv: If this can be treated it as a civil petition.. then this court can..

Justice Kant: just because there are illegal, perverse petitions being filed . You cannot ask FIRs against judges. How many cases have you done

Adv: I did law for this case only

Justice Kant: that's what I thought. Tell me under which law judges are liable to be prosecuted for giving judgments against you.

Justice Kant: What happened to your contempt plea? Why unconditional apology to the tribunal then?

Adv: the court officer told me that earlier order passed was destroyed. the case was earlier only adjourned..

Justice Kant: why unconditional apology

Adv: Justice Vipin Sanghi told me to apologise to tribunal when I moved high court
