Heera Gold Scam

Supreme Court observes that it has been two years and SFIO is unable to decipher evidence due to lack of forensic labs

Justice SK Kaul: 2 years is a long time to find evidence. Obviously our sympathies will then lie with accused

#SupremeCourt
Justice Kaul: so many courts have already noted that Forensic labs are lacking in numbers. You are a premier investigative agency and this is the condition.

#SupremeCourt
Justice Kaul to ASG SV Raju: Also i dont want to recieve whatsapp messages concerning the case. Some one sneaks into my groups and leaves messages. We don't want to get into all of this.

Sr Adv Nakul Dewan mentions the Amazon Future dispute

Dewan: We just wish to file the written submissions.

CJI NV Ramana: if you want to complicate, drag on and continue this type of litigation. Orders are reserved and now you file and other side will reply #SupremeCourt
CJI: I don't understand what is the practice. If that day you mentioned then it was fine. Now ask other party if they are fine with other side. We can't pass orders behind their back

Sr Adv KV Vishwanathan: This is a tactic to delay. I am opposing this.
Dewan appears for Amazon: We just need to crystallise the submissions of Sr Adv Gopal Subramaniam

CJI: If you think we cannot understand oral submissions. Then okay file. You so file Mr Vishwanathan
