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.

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

The genesis of the case lies in the rules governing judicial appointments in Madhya Pradesh which contained discriminatory language that prevented blind individuals from becoming judges.

This exclusion was challenged after a mother, whose visually impaired child aspired to the judiciary, wrote to the court, leading to a court-initiated public interest litigation.

Justice R Mahadevan: we have treated it as the most important case. We have touched upon constitutional framework also and institutional disability jurisprudence...
