#SupremeCourt will today hear plea against #Demolition of Jhuggis in Sarojini Nagar area at Delhi.
Vikas Singh, Sr. Adv, appears for the petitioners. He says “1000 people cannot be banishes like this. Some scheme has to be there.”
*banished
Singh: Most of us have been living here since 1995/96. Today they are wanting to put up a factual dispute. We have all been there. These people cannot be asked to vanish in thin air. The policy says so very clearly, the judgment of this court is also very clear.
Singh: Board exam is starting tomorrow. Two of the petitioners before the court are taking the exams. I have been asked to appear by my junior who is a social worker. Otherwise these people could not afford to any lawyer
ASG Natraj: I have just been served with the plea. But what I can say is that there is no right to claim rehabilitation. Anyone can come and sit on government property and claim rights.
Court: We will give you time to make submissions but don’t precipitate the matter.
Court refers to the judgment in the case of Ajay Maken. Says the court is dealing with land that belongs to central government.
Justice Joseph: The impugned notice says hand it over as it is government of India land. These poor people occupy the land out of necessity. As a modern government you cannot say that you will not do anything else.
Order:
Ld. ASG who has been served with a copy of the SLP, seeks time to address the court. List the matter on Monday. We record his statement that there will be no coercive action.
ASG Natraj says the prayer is confined to petitioners as this is not a PIL.

Singh: This is a PIL, please see my prayers.
Court:
We record the submissions of the Ld.ASG that no coercive steps will be taken till the next date of hearing. Adjourned to Monday
ASG KM Natraj today informed the Supreme Court that no coercive steps will be taken with respect to the demolition of Jhuggis in Delhi's Sarojini Nagar till the next date of hearing of the matter.

Just In: Allahabad High Court 'dismisses PIL with ₹1,00,000 cost' that had sought direction to the UP CM @myogiadityanath to disclose his full and actual name in the public domain & to refrain from using the word 'Yogi' as title in his official communication.
#YogiAdityanath Image
The petitioner namely Namaha who had impleaded CM as 'Adityanath' in this PIL, had alleged that the CM had been using different names at different places on different occasions and more than 25 crore residents of the Uttar Pradesh want to know his real and correct name.
Court dismissed the petition noting that being a political person, Namaha deliberately chose to conceal his identity while filing the writ petition, apparently with some ulterior motive or cheap publicity.

BREAKING: "Prima Donna and Persona Grata are far too big for the Delhi Police to take objective action", Sr. Adv Abishek Manu Singhvi submits in criminal writ petition praying for investigation in vandalism outside Delhi CM's house to be conducted by a Special Investigation Team
Mr. Singhvi - police turned a wilful blind eye. Miscreants can be seen on the cctv photo/video footage. The same miscreants have also been felicitated by the party in power. What action has been taken against these people?
Delhi Police - the crowd managed to sneak past us.
Court - There are two aspects to it. How were people able to cross the barricades? And what action was taken against the miscreants?
