Supreme Court resumes hearing a petition filed by Abhinav Delkar, son of the late parliamentarian, challenging the Bombay High Court’s decision to quash the FIR against nine persons, including Praful Patel, Administrator of the Union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep #SupremeCourt
The top court had earlier expressed serious reservations over whether the material placed on record in the Mohan Delkar suicide case could sustain charges of abetment of suicide under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
CJI: the person had time to think over everything and write 30 pages. So can we say that it was at the spur of the moment?
Supreme Court hears a plea related to Viktoriia Basu, a Russian mother who absconded with her 4-year-old son amid an ongoing custody battle with her Indian husband.
The Court had earlier directed the Centre to trace her after she reportedly went missing with the child.
Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymala Bagchi
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati informs the Court that the investigation has reached a stage where diplomatic channels are being engaged.
She submits that steps are being taken with Nepal, UAE, and Russia, as these appear to be the directions in which Viktoriia Basu has moved.
Justice Kant tells ASG Aishwarya Bhati that the child was not in the custody of either parent, but under the custody of the Supreme Court itself—hence, the matter is being taken very seriously as the child was taken from the Court’s custody.
Supreme Court hears a Public Interest Litigation seeking ban on betting apps and stringent regulations for online gaming and fantasy sports.

Supreme Court hears the plea by son of former parliamentarian Mohan Delkar and a complainant in the abetment to suicide case of his father, Abhinav Delkar assailing the Bombay High Court ruling to quash the FIR against nine accused including Praful Patel, administrator of Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Diu and Daman, and Lakshadweep 'to prevent abuse of law'
Sr Adv Meenakshi Arora appears for the petitioner
Arora: He says the deputy collector and the administrator misbehaved..
CJI: show us who.. where is it mentioned
Arora: I will show.. this is the humiliation.. it's there in his suicide note also
CJI: but can this humiliation be said to compel leading to suicide. If a lawyer is humiliated by judge saying your client has chosen an idiot person to represent him or that the lawyer is stupid and does not know anything..then after 3 days he commits suicide. Will the judge be held responsible under section 306 IPC. In Bombay HC I have quashed so many such cases.
#Breaking Terrosim has no religion but conviction cannot be based on moral grounds, NIA Court acquitts all seven accused including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur in the 2008 Malegaon blast case.
An explosion that occured on September 29, 2009 at Malegaon, Nashik had killed six people and injured over 100.
Special Judge AK Lahoti while acquitting all 7 observed that the prosecution failed to bring any 'cogent evidence' and therfore requires court to extend the benefit of doubt to all accused.
Regarding charges against Sadhvi Pragya, the court observed that the prosecution failed to prove that the bike on which the bomb was allegedly strapped belonged to her.
Serial number of the chasis was not completely recovered by the forensic experts and therefore the prosecution failed to prove that the bike Infact belonged to her.
Moreover, Thakur had become a sanyasi and had left all material things two years before the blast.
Chief Justice of India BR Gavai to shortly address the felicitation function organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).
#SupremeCourt #CJI #felicitationceremony
SCBA President Vikas Singh addresses the ceremony
Vikas Singh: it’s a matter of privilege for me to do this for CJI Gavai. He was very reluctant to accept this function since he felt that a better occasion will be when he demits office and I speak about what he has done for the bar and for the institution rather than speak when he’s entering office.
