#SupremeCourt will today hear a #PIL filed by Devkinandan Thakur challenging the National Commission for Minorities Act. The plea has sought direction to define ‘#minority’ and lay down ‘guidelines for identification of minorities at district level’.
Counsel informs the bench that there is another similar matter pending before Justice Kaul.

The bench says that it may be right that the Hindus are I'm minorities in some states. Then if there is a law then what should we clarify in it.
Court: There will be minorities all over, in some state some people would be Minority, its not the court who should do this. If you give us the exact example then we can certainly look into that.

Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay: Milords, there is counter filed by Centre in main matter
Court: Ok, we'll list this with the main matter.

The court has directed the matter to be listed in September.

@AamAadmiParty moves an application for intervention in @AshwiniUpadhyay ’s PIL pertaining to the issue of irrational distribution of freebies from public funds before elections. AAP contends that the PIL is not non-partisan litigation.
#AAP alleges that @AshwiniUpadhyay has strong links to @BJP4India having served as its spokesperson and as a leader of its Delhi unit in the past. AAP alleges that Upadhyay’s ‘frivolous’ pleas are often inspired by ‘party agenda’ and have been criticised by court in past.
#AAP alleges that @AshwiniUpadhyay is attempting to use PIL at furthering a particular political agenda. It says Upadhyay’s lack of bonafide is compounded as he does not disclose his ties with a particular ruling party & introduces himself as social political activist.

@vineetJindal19
#SupremeCourt
Sr Adv @JethmalaniM speaking over the remarks made by Sibal said, "He must be speaking for small group expecting SC to give decisions as per them. I'm surprised that he made such remarks. Judgments can be criticised but institutions shouldn't be denigrated."
#KapilSibal
Sr Adv MK Mishra, Chairman, BCI said, "I don't think that anyone can a appreciate such statements. He was practicing law for a long time & court respected him, now at this stage when he has lost a few cases blaming entire judicial system isn't proper."
