A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni of #BombayHighCourt is hearing a petition by Ratan Luth regarding delay in nomination of 12 MLCs by #Maharashtra #governor @BSKoshyari as recommended by Council of Ministers.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Anil Singh argued for #UnionGovt that Governor has "discretionary power" to nominate MLCs based on the recommendation.

CJ- But "duty" is still there (to act/speak). Can't escape from this (noimination), something has to be said.
Justice Kulkarni pointed out that Governor was expected to act "independently" devoid of any "political influence".
An intervention application has been filed by sitting MLC Vinayak Mete. Senior Counsel Harish Salve will argue for Mete after ASG completes his arguments.
Salve unable to argue due to personal difficulty. HC does not allow intervener to file written note.
#BombayHighCourt reserves order in the petition by Ratan Luth regarding delay in nomination of 12 MLCs by #Maharashtra #governor @BSKoshyari as recommended by Council of Ministers.

@DhrutiMKapadia appearing in person.
Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni for the state.
Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh for Union govt.

Kapadia: Policy is given to me last night. It isn't useful. It looks like the Union's "Near the Home" policy.

#BombayHC
Kapadia: When all states can smoothly conduct this drive why are we struggling in #Maharashtra ?

#ThirdWave of #Covid is yet to arrive yet they are not coming up with a proper policy.

Reads out from the state's policy - It says "May be implemented."

#2008MalegaonBombBlast case

#BombayHC
Desai: Let the matter be heard in open court instead of virtual court. All the accused are already out on bail.

Even if Shivade want to argue on a small point, that is also a complicated legal issue. Thus I would pray for an open court hearing.

#BombayHC Bench led by Justice Sambhaji Shinde is hearing petition filed by Late Fr Stan Swamy, seeking interim bail.

Adv Mihir Desai for Swamy

Adv Sandesh Patil for NIA.
Desai: We are now concerned with the Magistrate enquiry under section 176 CrPC. The next of the kin may be allowed to participate in the enquiry.

May Fr Mascarenhas be allowed through his counsel.

#BombayHC #StanSwamy
Justice Shinde points out that the HC bench led by him has been agreeing to the requests of Swamy right from day one to get medical attention. We are speechless outside (of the court). You (Desai) can clear the position out that we have always agreed with you.
