Sr Adv Siddharth Dave: Please see the observations made by the HC judge

CJI Surya Kant on alleging bias against Judges: There are hypothetical situations in court. We make observations. But I am not someone who will take browbeating. Not so easy with me. As soon as the judge makes an observation there are allegations made against him.#SupremeCourtImage
CJI Surya Kant: Sometimes we make errors but we rectify it. I just did it. We deal with such large volume of cases and evidence.

Sr Adv Sidharth Luthra: Please see what the trial court observed that the accused was taken aback by framing of charge. The court has proceeded...

Sr Adv Dave: the judge holds that I should be proceeded against misconduct.

CJI: court was correct because counsels were being changed so often.
CJI: we will help you rebuild trust and faith in the system.

[Order]

Supreme Court hears a euthanasia application by the parents of a child:

Court: this is very very unfortunate. The boy seems to be in a pathetic condition. The bedsores are extremely painful. And when a patient in vegetative state suffers from bedsores means he’s not been looked after well. His hygiene is poor. Bedsores are the end of everything. Now we have waterbeds etc to prevent formation of bedsores. They are extremely painful. Doctors have said in so many words that there is no question of recovery. So he is to remain like this till he is destined to leave.Image
Court: how do we now move to the next stage?

Counsel: as per the judgement in common cause the next step to be followed by the reference of a secondary board formed by the CMO. But in this case the primary board already had 5 experts constituted by the CMO so it does not require the secondary board reference. The next step is to admit him to a neuro palliative facility where life support will be withdrawn.
Court: to pass over the secondary board reference they (members of the primary board) will need to have people with 5 years experience.

Counsel: yes. Your lordships can even have a committee of experts as per the judgement.
