During a hearing:

Senior Adv Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi: Dr Subramaniam Swamy did not get a law degree even having passed law years ago. This was to escape accountability though he is fully fledged lawyer (laughs)

CJI SA Bobde: Many people say they are good friends with him but don't agree with him (bench laughs)

#SupremeCourt
Supreme Court Bench led by CJI was hearing a plea challenging Karnataka High Court’s order quashing Government order handing over management of management of Mahabaleshwar temple to Ramchandrapura Math. Dr Swamy mentioned his plea to seek national heritage status for Ram Setu
Dr Swamy stated that the plea was to be heard in March last year and owing to COVID19 it was never heard.

@Swamy39
CJI: One of the discussions we had is that this should not become a precedent for other temples where it's a dispute with the temple and govt. This is a different case.

#MadrasHighCourt seeks response on the anti-corruption set up in the State, the degree of independence afforded to the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) and the number of corruption cases attended to in the last 3 financial years.

#Corruption
During the hearing today, Court also posed queries on how secure the DVAC is and the extent to which its own officers have indulged in #corruption.

“…we want to know how secure is your Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption", CJ Sanjib Banerjee orally observed
"We have no doubt you have a very attractive website, 20,000 pages of nothing written, but we want to get to the meat of the matter… Or are we in such a fool's paradise that we have to believe that there is no corruption over there?“ CJ Banerjee remarked.

Election Commission will notify the Rajya Sabha elections for 3 vacancies from Kerala (that will arise later this month on the retirement of the MPs) prior to the expiry of the term of these 3 MPs i.e. before April 21, 2021, #KeralaHighCourt told.

@ECISVEEP
Adv Deepu Lal Mohan (for EC) says that the reason why HC was moved was because the earlier notification was kept in abeyance.

A revised election schedule will be issued. At this moment, it cannot be speculated when it will be scheduled, but it will be before April 21, he adds
Senior Advocate CS Vaidyanathan, for the petitioner, argues that the Election Commission must disclose why the initial date for the Rajya Sabha elections was reconsidered in the first place and what reference of the Law Ministry was involved.
