COAL SCAM

CJI SA Bobde led Bench to take a decision on the January, 2020, letter by senior advocate RS Cheema seeking permission to withdraw from the responsibility of Special Public Prosecutor in the cases filed by the @dir_ed #SupremeCourt has asked for a capable alternative Image
Adv ML Sharma: I am going to lose one of the best Chief Justices this month your lordship. You are one of the best. Please allow a diary number to be listed. It is my last appearance before you

CJI: I can say thank you. But how can I grant circulation for this?
Sharma: I am being harassed badly

CJI: normal orders are being passed for two weeks, so your case will also be listed after 2 weeks

CJI: ok two weeks
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta: My suggestion Mr Maninder Singh assisted by Mr Rajesh Batra can take over. Mr Cheema would not have any objection
CJI: I have two names. Mr Satish Vasta and other is DP Singh

SG Mehta: It was suggested last time. But there were some reservations.

CJI: DP Singh is appearing for ED in Augusta Westland case etc
SG: After hearing these names we suggested Mr Maninder Singh and Rajesh Batra
Senior Adv Cheema: i was asked to continue till June, 2020. If Maninder Singh as a senior is there, there should be a trial lawyer. Mr Batra is a great trial lawyer

CJI: Is Mr Batra a senior?

Cheema: No not a designate.

CJI: Then it can be Maninder Singh assisted by Batra
Adv ML Sharma: Please see my IA. i stood for this cause and lost my practice too. The person appointed must be a District Court lawyer. HC and SC judges are not experienced trial court lawyers

Adv Prashant Bhushan: You should go by original recommendation by Mr Cheema
Bhushan: Your lordship should not be swayed by what government wants or does not want. Special public prosecutor has to be independent.
CJI: Do you have any apprehension about Maninder Singh or Rajesh Batra

Bhushan: They should be independent. I don't know Mr Batra

CJI: DP Singh is handling cases of Augusta Westland etc how can you say they are independent. We will pass orders

CJI: We will pass orders
