@VTankha : Compartment exams from today till 29th. I was asked to serve a copy to Centre for a solution.

#compartmentexams
#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

Suo Motu: Remediation of Polluted Rivers

CJI Surya Kant: Is it possible for this court to look at all polluted rivers? We can look at it one by one. We also keep entertaining so many matters and issue directions. .. we also have to see that we entertain matters together. Why to have a multiplicity of issues like this ?

CJI: These suo motu proceedings were initiated by this court pursuant to an order in 2021. The original matter dealt with increased level of pollution in Yamuna river...which led this court to take suo motu cognizance of polluting rivers with sewage affluents. This court considered due to contamination of River Yamuna.. it should be the first issue dealt with. Notices were issued to Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal, UP and Delhi and Union of India. There is no gainsaid that Right to live in hygienic conditions with human dignity with clean environment is embodied in Article 21.

CJI: Effect of pollution of water on human health drew attention of this court. Under the legislative scheme (water), CPCB and the SPCB were statutorily obligated to take all necessary measures to ensure that sewage affluent is not discharged into rivers unless it is completely treated and will not deteriorate the quality of water.

#SupremeCourt to hear petitions assailing the #SIR process in West Bengal

Development: Following SC's recent order for deployment of judicial officers to ensure completion of SIR in WB the Calcutta HC has decided to cancel the leaves of all judicial officers @MamataOfficial

CJI Kant: Chief Justice of HC has sent a report. The total human resource deployed is shown. He says there is not much resources.. around 226 retired officers and after adding some more it's 294. Now going by the calculation.. if one officer decides 250 objections.. then it will take 80 days. All servicing civil judges will also be permitted now. That is the way out. Retired officers and serving ones from Odisha and Jharkhand will also be added now.

Sr Adv Kalyan Banerjee: Only NDPS and POCSO court judges have been requisitioned and not the civil judges. If judges from different states come they will not understand Bengali.

CJI: let us go by History. Atleast the states were a part of it at one point of time. So they understand the dialect atleast

#BREAKING : Supreme Court comes down hard on the probe in the 2022 murder case against YSRCP MLC Ananta Uday Bhaskar

CJI Surya Kant: “This is a clear casr of the nexus of Police and power. Police, investigating agencies have been hobnobbing with the accused and all attempts have been made to grant default bail under 167(2) CrPC to the appellant on a platter…”
#SupremeCourt

CJI Surya Kant: Police, investigating agencies have been hobnobbing with the accused and all attempts have been made to grant default bail under 167(2) crpc to the appellant on a platter though HC did not grant the same.
Thus this appeal. He is enjoying interim bail from the last two years.

CJI: Senior Advocate Luthra informs that a supplementary chargesheet has been filed which shows laxity if not complicity with the state police with the accused exhibiting the grossest negligence in the matter of investigation of a heinous offence. In order to strike balance between right to liberty and right to fair trial.

Supreme Court to hear petitions seeking the registration of FIR into instances of alleged communal speeches attributed to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and a social media post, since deleted, depicting him discharging a firearm toward an animated image of two Muslim men @himantabiswa #SupremeCourt

SG Tushar Mehta: There is a factual development

Passover sought as Sr Adv AM Singhvi is in another court

Matter to be taken up shortly

CJI: call him

CJI: why have you not gone to the HC unless HC also has become a ground for political battle.

Singhvi: this affects the fundamental rights under Article 14,15 and 21. If this case cannot come here then this court has to determine what is the contour of article 32. We are seeking a SIT and what SIT in Assam can do against Boss of Assam. There is a list of 17 cases before you where have ordered this in much weaker.

CJI: We will ask political parties to use restraint and be within the boundaries of constitutional morality. But this is becoming a trend just before the elections.

Singhvi: he is a habitual and repeated offender. This would be the ideal case for SC to exercise it's article 32 power. There are examples of Bilkis Rasool , Vinod Dua etc.
