Supreme Court hears the case regarding mandatory requirement of three years' practice at the Bar as a uniform eligibility condition for entry-level judicial service posts

Sr Adv Sidharth Bhatnagar, Amicus: High Courts are of the view that three years should remain. But for disability ..some accessibility needs to be given. Allahabad HC says it is not capable at the moment it is too early for a view. Delhi HC says three year practice has been reintroduced as in terms of SC judgment. Committee says relaxation for disabled may lead to disparity

Amicus: Faizan Mustafa for CNLU says no experience needed at all and should be done away with.

Sr Adv Pinky Anand: This practice is not even consistent to their skills of being adjudicators. Thus this is a Roadblock. Average age of aspirant will be 29.

John - They took my voice samples. They have not taken voice samples of anybody else. We dont know if it is gangster, they are claiming that it is a gangster. Who is this other person?

Supreme Court hears plea against the violation of woman rights under the succession laws under Muslim personal law

CJI Surya Kant: You are challenging 1937 act.. then what will apply? What about the vaccum?

Adv Prashant Bhushan: Shariah law says woman entitled to half of what men are entitled to. So in Shayara Bano held that even triple talaq was part of personal law but still struck down since violative of article 14

CJI: suppose there are two statutes. One protects article 14 and one does not. Ofcourse the other is struck down. Then our question what about the vaccum created

Bhushan: Indian succession act shall govern.

Justice Bagchi: If 1937 act is not there..will Muslim succession not be governed by personal law as under Article 372.

CJI: in our over anxiety of reforms we may end up depriving them (Muslim woman) on getting less than what they are already getting. If it goes away (the 1937 act) then what is the question.

Supreme Court to hear batch of cases concerning the SIR process in West Bengal

Fresh petition also listed challenging the deletion of voter names due to non acceptance of key documents

#SupremeCourt #WestBengalSIR

Sr Adv Menaka Guruswamy: About 7 lakh claims have been decided by the judicial officers. 63 lakh was under adjudication. 57 lakhs are remaining.

CJi: we knew you people will run away when judicial officers are appointed. HC Chief justice has told us 10 lakhs decided. Today morning we are informed. Your application is premature and it shows as if you don't have trust. How did you dare such applications are filed? No one should dare question the judicial officers

Guruswamy: We are not questioning

CJI: you may have not. But there are questions. As a Chief justice of India I will not tolerate this.

Guruswamy: No one can question the JO at all. We have appeared before the chief justice and it was an honour to appear before him.

Guruswamy: JOs now have 50 lakh cases to be broadly decided. There are roughly 48 lakh mapped voters.. we say they are mapped because they were in 2002 electoral rolls and they have voted..

CJI: that is why SIR is there. All genuine will be included. All unauthorised etc will not be there. That is being looked at by the judicial officers. Why should we look into this. Till a day before voting if the cloud upon a voter is removed then he can vote.
