Important development

Supreme Court to hear the #MaharashtraPoliticalCrisis matter today at 12.30 pm. This is with regard to the dispute between the Uddhav Thackeray and Ekanth Shinde led factions of Shiv Sena

#SupremeCourt Image
SC: it is important to highlight on power of deputy speaker to initiate disqualification proceeding when such proceeding has been initiated against him. Here Nabam Rabia judgment needs gap filling.
SC: Thus a constitutional bench to look at the gap filling and a bench of 5 judges to look into this along with the issue of notice of removal of speaker.

#SupremeCourt hears a plea by Indian Medical Association which alleges that a smear campaign against the vaccination drive and modern medicines are being conducted in the country Image
IMA: the kind of disparaging statements made and the public is being misguided. We made representations and no answer. govt also knows about such misleading ads by Ayush companies etc #allopathy
IMA: They say that doctors were taking allopathy but still succumbing during the COVID wave. If this happens unbated then it will cause serious prejudice to us.

Can Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016, be applied retrospectively? #SupremeCourt to rule today

CJI NV Ramana led bench to deliver judgment in a plea preferred by Centre against a Calcutta HC order holding that that 2016 amendment Act was prospective in nature Image
SC: It is a very lengthy judgment. Lot of efforts were put in this.

#BenamiTransactions
SC: Indian jurisprudence has matured and it is manifest that courts have read down any such provision which hampers the criminal justice system. We can only recommend that utility of independent forfeiture provision needs to be used cautiously
