Plea in #SupremeCourt seeks FIR against sitting Delhi HC judges

Adv: This plea seeks registration of FIR against sitting HC judges. The issue is when I am the topper of the exam, but all judges.. ideally case should be heard by court 1..

Justice Surya Kant: Are you wanting to argue or you want to do bench hunting? We understand this kind of publicity stunts. Which college you did graduate and MBA?

Adv: engineering from DU and MBA From IIM Kozhikode

Justice Kant: still you make such scandalous allegations

Adv: If this can be treated it as a civil petition.. then this court can..

Justice Kant: just because there are illegal, perverse petitions being filed . You cannot ask FIRs against judges. How many cases have you done

Adv: I did law for this case only

Justice Kant: that's what I thought. Tell me under which law judges are liable to be prosecuted for giving judgments against you.

Justice Kant: What happened to your contempt plea? Why unconditional apology to the tribunal then?

Adv: the court officer told me that earlier order passed was destroyed. the case was earlier only adjourned..

Justice Kant: why unconditional apology

Adv: Justice Vipin Sanghi told me to apologise to tribunal when I moved high court

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay S Oka to shortly deliver the Late Justice H.R. Khanna Memorial Lecture on "Independence of Judiciary" organised by the Goa HC Bar Association

#SupremeCourt

Justice AS Oka: I must clarify that when it comes to independence of judiciary, irrespective of the party in power, irrespective of the fact whether there is emergency or not, there is always a threat to independence of judiciary. And therefore, the members of the judicial fraternity, namely the judges and members of the bar have to be always alert and ensure that independence remains

Justice Oka: Let us also say here that there are judges and Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, who have been already forgotten, but there are large number of judges of the High Court who never went to the Supreme Court, and they are remembered forever. There are judges of the Supreme Court who did not become Chief Justices of India, but they are remembered forever. I am giving an example of our Mumbai High Court only biopic. We had Chief Justice M.C. Chagla, Justice Chittutosh Mukherjee, Justice P.D. Desai, and Justice M.L. Pence. These great judges never went to the Supreme Court, but we fondly remember them. I can add many names to that, like Justice Vimadala, Justice Lentin, and so many other names can be added.
