#Supremecourt #Delhihighcourt #UAPA #bail
Justice Deepak Gupta: " This trend of denying bail by just adding something which is very serious and courts are reluctant to grant bail and in sensitive issues, and national security is brought in and call it anti-national and courts are reluctant. This is more of a #trend."
Justice Deepak Gupta: "As far as CAA is concerned, every citizen has a right to protest whether it's a justified protest or unjustified. I may not agree with what protesters are saying but they have a right to protest as long as the protest is peaceful"
#CAA #protests #UAPA
Justice Deepak Gupta: "What Delhi High Court has basically held is that bail can be granted even when a prima facie case is not made out when one is charged under UAPA"

Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice Surya Kant to shortly speak at the inaugural lecture series organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).

The lecture is titled “Justice for all- Legal Aid and Mediation: The collaborative role of Bar and the Bench”

#SupremeCourt #SCBAImage
Sr. Adv. Vikas Singh (President, SCBA): Justice for all and mediation go hand in hand. It is only in the mediation process that there are no losers. In litigation there is one side which feels that it has not got justice. In mediation both sides feel like they have got justice. Justice for all is embedded in the concept of mediation.
Singh: the bar and bench should always to first think of settlement when it comes to any litigation. As litigation goes further, bitterness increases. If bar and bench both play a role in mediation and legal aid process, it will be a big opening in this subject. Today we have 5.36cr pending cases in the country. If mediation succeeds in this country it will drastically and overnight reduce the pendency of cases in this country. It can unclog the system. And ensure people in this country get justice.
