Senior Adv Mukul Rohatgi: Its a shocking case.

Rohatgi: This lady is an employee employee Of Amazon. Now this lady, producer and actor is made an accused. Now company is not an accused. They are only publicity seekers filing cases all over India

Rohatgi: this movie can be paid only by payment. It's not free

Justice Bhushan: Please submit the regulations on OTT platforms. We are of the view that there should be some screening of such programs. At times they are showing pornography too.

Senior Adv Rohatgi: Allahabad High Court order was not based on OTT regulations. It's about freedom of speech and expression

SC: Its about creating a balance.

Solicitor-General: They are showing filthy things with abuses too.

Supreme Court adjourns the case to tomorrow. Solicitor-General asked to circulate the recently published OTT regulations by the centre

Rohatgi: OTT regulations were put in place a few weeks back. How is it applicable in my case ?

Matter adjourned.

Correction:

Rohatgi: This movie can be watched only on payment. It is not free.

"Problems of the computer age"

Justice DY Chandrachud: One of the gravest problems of computer age is cut and paste order. I hate seeing High Court orders only doing cut and paste. If you are upholding something you have to give reasons.

#SupremeCourt
#courtroomexchange

Justice Chandrachud: No independent application of mind. Cutting and pasting from Tribunal judgment may add to volume of pages but does not address the core issue of the appeal.

Justice Chandrachud: Issue was whether respondent was correctly denied admission to IAS noting a disciplinary action was imposed upon him. IAS states DoPT guidelines apply for promotion.
