[Prajwal Revanna Vs State of Karnataka]

Sr Adv Siddharth Dave: Please see the observations made by the HC judge

CJI Surya Kant on alleging bias against Judges: There are hypothetical situations in court. We make observations. But I am not someone who will take browbeating. Not so easy with me. As soon as the judge makes an observation there are allegations made against him.#SupremeCourtImage
CJI Surya Kant: Sometimes we make errors but we rectify it. I just did it. We deal with such large volume of cases and evidence.

Sr Adv Sidharth Luthra: Please see what the trial court observed that the accused was taken aback by framing of charge. The court has proceeded...

Sr Adv Dave: the judge holds that I should be proceeded against misconduct.

CJI: court was correct because counsels were being changed so often.
CJI: we will help you rebuild trust and faith in the system.

[Order]

CJI: Instant appeal is against September 2025 order passed by Karnataka HC declining petitioner prayer for transfer of trial pending before the learned presiding judge of 81st city civil (MP MLA court). Prayer was to transfer case to to any other MP MLA court.

Supreme Court hears a euthanasia application by the parents of a child:

Court: this is very very unfortunate. The boy seems to be in a pathetic condition. The bedsores are extremely painful. And when a patient in vegetative state suffers from bedsores means he’s not been looked after well. His hygiene is poor. Bedsores are the end of everything. Now we have waterbeds etc to prevent formation of bedsores. They are extremely painful. Doctors have said in so many words that there is no question of recovery. So he is to remain like this till he is destined to leave.Image
Court: how do we now move to the next stage?

Counsel: as per the judgement in common cause the next step to be followed by the reference of a secondary board formed by the CMO. But in this case the primary board already had 5 experts constituted by the CMO so it does not require the secondary board reference. The next step is to admit him to a neuro palliative facility where life support will be withdrawn.
Court: to pass over the secondary board reference they (members of the primary board) will need to have people with 5 years experience.

Counsel: yes. Your lordships can even have a committee of experts as per the judgement.

Supreme Court resumes hearing the challenge to the Special Intensive Revision as conducted by the election commission of India in Bihar

Sr Adv Shadan Farasat begins Image
Farasat: Your Lordships in multiple judgments have said that Articles 324 to 329 constitute one scheme. Your Lordships will recall that the Representation of the People Acts of 1950 and 1951 were passed by the Constituent Assembly sitting as the Provisional Parliament.

Recall that the 1950 and 1951 Acts were enacted by the provisional Parliament. The first general election in India took place from October 1951 to February 1952 after these Acts were enacted. Although the composition was the same as the Constituent Assembly, my submission is that Articles 324 to 329 read with the 1950 and 1951 Acts form one constitutional code.

This code gives a very clear indication of the powers of the Election Commission.
Farasat: The question I am addressing is the scope and power of the Election Commission regarding the determination of citizenship while preparing electoral rolls. Do they have a role. What is the extent of that role. Because my respectful submission is on this issue.

Please have Article 324. Article 324 contains the general power of superintendence.

Next, Article 325:

“There shall be one general electoral roll for every territorial constituency for election to either House of Parliament or to the House or either House of the Legislature of a State and no person shall be ineligible for inclusion in any such roll or claim to be included in any special electoral roll for any such constituency on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex or any of them.”

This is a non discrimination provision. Article 325 mirrors the language of Article 15. The same grounds. Religion, race, caste, sex.

Supreme Court hears the challenge to the SIR process

Sr Adv Gopal Sankarnarayanan: This is an IA. We have details from 35 to 40 BLOs who have committed suicide. These are all aanganwadi workers , teachers .. Section 32 ROPA notices are being sent to them saying that they will be imprisoned for 2 years if they don't meet deadlines. 50 FIRs have been filed against BLOs in UP. They are taking pride in this.

CJI Surya Kant: See if it is an lawful excercise.. it has to be performed. State can substitute the workers.

#SIR #SupremeCourtImage
CJI: List 3 employees are provided by the state govt. So ECI has to speak with state government

Sr Adv Maninder Singh: 91 percent process is complete in Tamil Nadu

CJI: are you only on Tamil Nadu..

Sr Adv Gopal Sankarnarayanan: TN is first and also all the states. There was a boy who wanted to attend his wedding.. he was denied and he committed suicide.
CJI: somebody can be unwell.. there can be done other health reasons also...

Sr Adv Gopal Sankarnarayanan: But the electoral officer is their boss and they report to the ECI. States are not on the process.

CJI: state govt deploys these workers. So we can tell the states that wherever workers are facing issues they can be substituted.
