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.

#CalcuttaHighCourtImage
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 #ArvindKejiwalImage
"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."

Read key pointers from hearing here:

⚠️ Affidavits by Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna sent to media first and then the court

⚠️ Apology by Baba Ramdev not accepted, it is wilful disobedience of court

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia @yogrishiramdev @PypAyurved #PatanjaliImage
⚠️ State of Uttarakhand licensing authority officers should be suspended right now

⚠️ SC says it will rip apart State licensing authority if bona fide argument is cited

⚠️ state kept eyes shut deliberately

⚠️ 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
⚠️ State licensing authority acted as a post office while exchanging letters with Patanjali

⚠️ Directors who headed the state authority kept mum even though full page ads kept on being displayed

⚠️ Many people at risk who consumed these ayurvedic medicines thinking it is a cure to ailments which have no cure. "How can this be done to ordinary people?"
