Supreme Court to deliver judgment on petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against Governor RN Ravi's refusal to grant assent to several bills passed by the State Legislative Assembly, including those concerning the appointment of Vice Chancellors to State Universities #SupremeCourt

The State had moved the Court seeking directions to the Governor/ President to decide or give assent to bills passed by the State legislature in a time-bound manner.

The State government has argued that the Governor, by indefinitely withholding assent on these bills, was holding the entire State to ransom. In such a situation, the Court must intervene, the Tamil Nadu government argued.

Supreme Court hears the case where it took objection to the absence of an advocate-on-record (AoR) in court during the hearing of a case filed through him

Justice Bela Trivedi: You could not have filed the SLP. If you don't get it you should not be a AoR. I will not leave the case just like that. You took undue advantage of some thing

AoR: I take responsibility

SC: you have no option but to take this. Apology will not do

Justice Trivedi: judgment had come and you are challenging it. Should you not read the papers. Where is the scope for any explanation.

AoR: my learned friend

SC: don't say learned fried. We are agitated and pained. Day in and day out we are seeing this. It is you and only you. For surrendering you say condone delay. Then in condonation application.. what kind of language is being used

AoR: the plea has been drawn by someone else

Justice Trivedi: So what ?????? It bears your signature or not

AoR: it does.

[Can visually impaired become judges ? ]

#SupremeCourt to shortly deliver judgment on this significant issue

The court to hand down verdict in the suo motu case concerning visually impaired in judicial services
