Is Arvind Kejriwal deliberately eating mangoes and sweets to spike sugar level and create ground for bail?
Delhi court to examine Tihar Jail report shortly after ED's allegations.
Hearing to start at 2PM.
#ArvindKejriwal @AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal
Yesterday, ED's Special Counsel Zoheb Hossain had informed the Rouse Avenue Court that the details came to be known after the agency wrote to Tihar jail and sought information about Kejriwal's diet and the medicines being taken by him.
Kejriwal's lawyers have refuted ED's allegations and said that these are merely allegations for the media.
They have alleged that ED does not want Kejriwal to even have home cooked food which has been allowed by the Court.
#SupremeCourt to hear plea seeking directions for the counting of all VVPAT slips. The plea seeks the court's direction to the Election Commission and the Centre to ensure that voters are able to verify through VVPATs that their vote has been "counted as recorded" #EVM
Adv Nizamuddin Pasha makes submissions: voter secrecy is not compromised at any stage..also the my right to secrecy cannot..
I hope you understand what you are arguing and the practical results of it
Pasha: milord..
SC: if you still argue then fine..the last slip will always be at the bottom.. do not take more time..
Pasha: it is the rights context in which this debate lies..
SC: you have applied the doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: yes fundamental right to know for whom vote is casted, right to free and fair election etc.. these are all rights of voters and it does not affect somebody else
SC: Tell us which are the four prongs of doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: the doctrine comes when there are two conflicting rights.. i am a stage anterior to this..
SC: all fundamental rights can be curtailed on the basis of certain exceptions..
Adv Prashant Bhushan:in the VVPAT machine the light remains on for 7 seconds, if that light can be on always so that voter can see the slip cutting and falling or other slip being cut etc also.. that can be done if the glass cannot be changed.
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.
#CalcuttaHighCourt
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.
