BREAKING: After Arvind Kejriwal, now Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) writes to Delhi High Court Judge Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, says HE WILL NOT PARTICIPATE further in PERSON OR THROUGH COUNSEL in CBI’s appeal challenging discharge in the Excise Policy case, citing “conscience” and concerns over appearance of impartiality.Image
🚨Manish Sisodia backs Arvind Kejriwal’s stand, says he is in “respectful agreement” with his Satyagraha-based refusal. Flags concerns over judge’s association with ABAP and children’s engagement with Union Govt panels linked to Solicitor GeneralTushar Mehta.
"⁠I wish to state that two aspects of this case trouble me a lot. The first is the issue arising from Your Ladyship's repeated public attendance of the Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad, a lawyers' organisation publicly understood to belong to the RSS. The second is the issue arising from the professional engagement of Your Ladyship's children on multiple Union Government panels, and the resulting appearance of closeness to the very law officers who now appear against me on the other side. Mr. Kejriwal's letter factually sets out the professional dependence of your children on Mr. Tushar Mehta who is solely responsible for marking the large number of case dockets to them, particularly your son,” Manish Sisodia’s letter reads.

Supreme Court lambasts West Bengal government over indefinite delay in completing Kolkata Metro’s Orange Line.

State of WB: Please give us time till May. Now elections are there.

CJI: Do not politicise everything.. this is a development issue.
Justice Joymalya Bagchi: For you festival is more important than development! You told High Court that you have festivals to take care of. Festival is more important than construction of transport. We do not expect democratically elected government to knock on our doors for this. We will not allow the state to use this to stall development again.
CJI: This was a fit case where your Chief Secretary, DGP should have been subjected to action. This shows complete deriliction of your constitutional duty. This is just an attempt to politicise an issue..

#MadrasHighCourt to continue hearing appeals challenging a single judge order of December 1 that permitted lighting of #KarthigaiDeepam atop an ancient pillar (#deepathoon) on #ThiruparankundramHill

Bench: Justices G Jayachandran and K K Ramakrishnan Image
Senior Advocate S Sriram (for Hindu devotee): The right to worship cannot be confined only to Article 25. It is also a facet of the right to expression under Article 19.

#MadrasHighCourt #thiruparankundramissue #karthigaideepam
Sriram: The danger to public order cited to deny Deepam must be real and one that affects the community at large, not speculative.
