The Supreme Court comes down harshly on a party:

"This is nothing but a luxury litigation between two warring factions to exert control over an educational institution. Thus we impose exemplary costs. Party hs to pay Rs 1 lakh to SCAORA and 1 lakh to SCBA."

#SupremeCourt Image
Justice BR Gavai: When a law requires something to be done in a certain manner it has to be done in that way or not at all. We warned you of costs but you went on arguing for 22 minutes.
Justice Gavai: "We deprecate the practice of filing such luxury litigations. Hence the cost of 2 lakhs."

Sr Adv: I thought it has merit

Justice Gavai: But we warned you. Cost of 2 lakhs to remain.

#Supremecourt order in TN Godavarman case:

Justice Aniruddha Bose: TN Godavarman case: We direct that each protected forest will have EAZ of 1 km. If EAZ is prescribed already which goes beyond 1 km buffer zone then such an extended boundary shall prevail. Image
SC: The Chief Conservator of forests of each state shall make a list of subsisting structures under the eaz and submit a report to this court within 3 months period. Mining within National wildlife sanctuary or national park cannot be permitted and thus will not be allowed.
SC: Such activities which are going on within the EAZ limit shall be carried on only with the permission of the Chief Conservator of Forests. No new permanent structure to come up within the EAZ for any purpose

#SupremeCourt hears appeal by Chhattisgarh Govt against HC order granting #bail to suspended Indian Police Service (IPS) officer GP Singh who was arrested in connection with a disproportionate assets case
Justice Gavai: Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi states that Singh has indulged in tampering of evidence and HC has ignored it. This present application is nothing but a totally unwarranted exercise by the state
Justice Gavai: While considering bail HC does not have business to deal with status of applicant and it is about the individual right. In Disproportionate assets case most is documentary evidence where there is no chance of tampering.
