Sr Adv Vikas Singh: We are grateful to CJI Ramana, Justices AM Khanwilkar and R Subhramanium who are present here today. It's a historic day on the 75th Independence Day

CJI: Today is a very happy and historic day. Apart from celebrating the day it is an occasion for all of us to rethink and review our politics and what we have achieved and what we have to achieve in the future. 75 years is not a small period in country's history

#Supremecourt

CJI: We were given jaggery and murmura in school. Lot of development has taken place since then. Small things given to us in school made us happy. even though today we get so many facilities we are not happy this is because are saturation levels have hit the bottom

CJI: The independence struggle was led by lawyers, whether it is Babu Rajendra Prasad or Mahatma Gandhi who were legal luminaries and sacrificed their property and life. First members of look sabha and Rajya Sabha are all lawyers

CJI: But we know what is happening in the houses with respect to laws. There used to be debates in the parliament, there was a debate regarding the Industrial Disputes Act and a member from Tamil Nadu used to discuss so elaborately how it affected working class

CJI: So when courts interpreted the laws it was easy as we knew legislative intent. NOW IT IS SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS. There are a lot of gaps and we don't know why the laws are being made.

CJI: This is causing great inconvenience to public and this is what happens when lawyers are not there in the houses. I don't want to say more than this but its time for the legal community to step forward and take charge.

CJI: Supreme Court has played an active role in the country and we hope and expect we will contribute more. There are small issues but around 75 percent of the people in need have got legal aid. In Nov 26 and 27 we may have workshops on Constitution Day

CJI: I wish you all happy and peaceful Independence Day.

#supremeCourt

SG Tushar Mehta: My Lord (CJI) is the karta of Indian legal family and thus I have nothing to say much more. India is a young democracy... look around the neighbouring countries and they call themselves democracy and how it has failed partly.

SG Mehta: we have been able to sustain it how it was envisioned by framers of the Indian Constitution.

Secretary SCBA, Adv Ardhendumauli K Prasad delivers the vote of thanks.

Supreme Court Bar Association holds farewell for CJI DY Chandrachud #SupremeCourtofIndia

Sr Adv Rachana Srivastava, VP SCBA: CJI Chandrachud was a part of 23 constitution benches. Your journey in the legal world has pushed boundaries. You leave behind a court which has hope for all of us. You had unwavering dedication to the rule of law.

Sr Adv Kapil Sibal, President SCBA: when you have to journey the judge of any judge what is the benchmark. We can criticise a judge all we want. You have to judge the man in the backdrop of the times we live in. When we discuss him, his manner, his affability which is of one of the greatest judges of this country.

#SupremeCourt

Attorney General R Venkataramani: Recently in Brazil after the conference ended everyone started dancing. what if I ask everyone here to dance on your retirement and I am sure most will vote in favour of me.

SG Tushar Mehta: Complete impartiality in dispensation of justice. We were never hesitant in good or bad matters before you. For govt we won few we lost many but we knew that we did not get an opportunity to convince the court and put our point forward. My lord has always taken a stand as the karta of the family
DYC will really be missed.

#BREAKING Supreme Court to State of UP: How can you just enter someone's home and demolish it without following course of law or serving notice?

CJI DY Chandrachud: We are not inclined to accept the request of the State of UP to adjourn the proceedings since pleadings are completed and the court is required to evaluate the materials placed before to decide legality of action.

#SupremeCourtofIndia @myogioffice

CJI: The following position emerges from narration of facts: state of UP has not produced original width of state highway notified as national highway, no material was placed to show whether any inquiry was conducted to figure out encroachers, there is no material produced to indicate that land was acquired before demolition was carried out. The state has failed to disclose the precise extent of encroachments, the width of the existing road, the width of notified highway, extent of property of petitioner which feel within central line of highway and why the demolition was needed beyond the area of alleged encroachment. NHRC report shows demolition was far in excess than the area of alleged encroachment. #SupremeCourtofIndia

#BREAKING

CJI: The demolition was carried out without any notice or disclosure to the occupiers of the basis of the demarcation or the extent of demolition to be carried out. It is clear demolition was high handed and without the authority of law. The petitioner states the demolition was only because the petitioner had flagged irregularities in road construction in newspaper report. Such action by the state cannot be countenanced and when dealing with private property law has to be followed.
