#CompartmentExam2020
#SupremeCourt

Senior Adv Tankha: If students dont get admissions then what is the use of exams

Justice Khanwilkar: exams are on, you have to appear

Tankha: UGC is before my lord. Once #CompartmentExam2020 are over, admissions should be quickly be declared so that admissions can take place

Tankha: UGC should accommodate the compartment students in the academic calendar.

Justice Khanna: you had said the admission process is over but that's not correct

Tankha: yes they have reopened. Since 2 lakhs students are appearing in compartment, they should be benefited

Justice Khanwilkar led bench has issues in hearing the counsels over #virtualhearing

Adv Apoorv Kurup for UGC: these are compartment students. admissions start and as seats are empty these students appear. UGC will declare results

Justice Khanwilkar: this is a peculiar situation and can you make some room for these students

Kurup: academic calendar is being finalised. If cbse declares results in batches the students will be accommodated if seats are vacant

Justice Khanwilkar to UGC: What is the cut off date for admissions?

Kurup: mostly end of Ocotber.

SC: then we can direct CBSE to declare results before that.
career of 2 lakh students is not a small number !

Adv Rupesh Kumar for CBSE: the papers will need to be corrected at 16 regional centres and we will need 3 to 4 weeks

SC: This is an exceptional year and you have to make some room. academic career of 2 lakh students cannot be hampered

Justice Khanwilkar: If CBSE declares results by end of October, then you can wrap up admissions by first week of November

Kurup: the academic calendar is finalised and we were to release it yesterday.

SC to UGC: Don't release the acadmeic calendar till Thursday. Let CBSE inform us and then you both coordinate. 2 lakhs students is not a small number and we have to work out a solution in this exceptional year. You need to work in tandem with CBSE.

Adv Avishkar Singhvi: we have given a list stating college admission deadlines to give you an idea

SC: We will not consider individual admission deadlines.

Case will again be taken up on September 24. CBSE and UGC to take a joint decision on declaration of results & admissions

CBSE Compartment Exams: "Academic career of 2 lakh students cannot be hampered", Supreme Court directs UGC to not release the academic calendar till Sep 24

Can a law graduate be denied enrollment as an advocate merely because there is a pending criminal case against them? Supreme Court hears

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and R Mahadevan

The case concerns KR Sudersan, a Chartered Accountant by profession who also completed his law degree. When he applied to enroll as an advocate, the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry rejected his application. The Bar Council cited a pending criminal case against him involving Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) read with Section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The Bar Council's rejection was rooted in a 2017 judgment by the Madras High Court. That order had directed Bar Councils to prevent the enrollment of law graduates with pending criminal cases. It was intended to be a "temporary measure" to keep people with criminal backgrounds out of the profession until the legislature amended the laws.

Supreme Court hears plea by Delhi Police against Delhi High Court’s decision to allow Devangana Kalita, an accused in the Delhi riots conspiracy case, to inspect the unrelied documents in malkhana - a secure storage room or warehouse inside a police station where physical evidence and seized properties are stored.

Bench: Justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi

ASG SV Raju (for Delhi Police): inspection is not warranted. She is not entitled to any documents till the charges are framed. What is the purpose of inspection at this stage? This is unrelied upon documents. I’ve got extracts of judgements on this point. Only prosecution documents are to be looked at.

Raju: please have a look at the Sarla Gupta judgement. Trial starts after charges are framed. Before commencement of trial they have no right to inspect. Trial has not started now. Suppose she is discharged, where’s the question of inspection?

[Facilities for retired HC judges]

CJI: There is lack of uniformity in facilities for retired judges. Some states are giving all that is needed. But some states do nothing at all

Justice Bagchi: Security of one police officer for five years is reasonable for a high court judge..because they deal with sensitive issues also.

CJI: See the clause Rs 15,000 for secretarial services, security, travel etc

Adv: Yes the multiplier is low. But we are giving 50,000 also

CJI to SG Mehta: The govt should constitute a committee.. the issue is some basic amenities to be provided for HC judges. There is a need for uniformity. Centre can prescribe some norms as centre also releases some funds. If centre does not constitute then we have to

CJI: It appears that the Union of India is also a rightful stakeholder, especially when we expect that a part of the differential burden ought to be shared by the Union and the States in a defined manner.
There can indeed be no doubt that these facilities must be ensured on a uniform basis, as there is no reason whatsoever for such amenities to vary from State to State.
Keeping this perspective in mind, we have impressed upon the Union of India to constitute a committee to lay down uniform guidelines and also the manner and mechanism for financial assistance.
Such a committee shall be constituted within two weeks. Thereafter, the committee shall submit its recommendations to the Union of India and also place the same before this Court within three months from the date of its constitution.
List this matter after three months.

Sr Adv Amit Sharma: On the last occasion, Your Lordships had directed all the High Courts to file affidavits indicating whether they were facing any difficulty pursuant to the directions passed by this Hon'ble Court. All the High Courts have filed their compliance affidavits.
I would only request that the learned Amicus prepare a compilation of those affidavits and place it before this Hon'ble Court, so that if any further directions are required, the Court may consider passing them
