Justice SS Shinde: What heavens are going to fall if the petitioner is given protection for few days.

We have always believed that judiciary, agencies like RBI, CBI, ED should act independently.
Justice SS Shinde: There is threat to the very democracy if these agencies don't act independently.

Why should there be so much insistence on protection not being granted?
Bench presided by Justice Shinde were hearing the plea filed by NCP MLA Eknath Khadse for quashing a complaint filed by ED in connection to land case of Pune.
The court will hear the matter on Monday. ASG Anil Singh appearing for ED has made a statement to the Court that ED will not take any action in the mean time.

Karnataka HC is hearing two petitions moved by Amazon and flipkart seeking to quash the probe ordered by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against them for alleged violations of Competition Law.

@Flipkart
@amazonIN
@CCI_India
Bench: Mr, Gopal Subramanium, your written submissions is bigger than the Writ petition. I only want bullet points.

Snr Advocate Gopal Subramanium appearing for Amazon: That can be kept aside for now, your lordships.
Subramanium: My villainy is on the basis of one document- one email. This email is me giving a rebate for a seller, it is on the referral fee and not the price.

This is given to a seller and not a consumer.
