CJI DY Chandrachud loses his calm at SCBA President Vikas Singh in the #SCBA land allotment matter.

Vikas Singh: I don't want to take this to the judges' resident.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Is it a way to behave? I will not be cowered down like this. Sit down.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia Image
CJI DY Chandrachud: Please don't raise your voice. This is not the way to behave as the President of SCBA. You're asking for a land allotted to the SC to be given to the bar. I have made my decision. It will be taken on 17th and it will not be first on board.

#SupremeCourt
Singh: Just because the bar doesn't do anything doesn't mean it should be taken for granted. I feel strongly for this. 20 years lawyers have been waiting to be allotted chambers.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt
CJI DY Chandrachud: Mr Singh, I am the Chief Justice of India. I have been on the bench for long. I have never let myself be brow beaten by bar members and I will not let it happen in the final 2 years of my life.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt
CJI DY Chandrachud: You will be treated as an ordinary litigant. Please don't force my hand to do something you don't want.

"There is something hanky panky as far as my department is concerned. Without consultation a half baked affidavit in counter has been filed even before we filed appearance for it."

ASG SV Raju tells the #SupremeCourt in bail plea of Arun Pati Tripathi, an accused in the alleged Chhattisgarh liquor scam.
#Bail #PMLA @dir_edImage
Bench: Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan.

#SupremeCourt #Bail #PMLA @dir_ed #ChhattisgarhLiquorScam
Senior Advocate Meenakshi Arora for accused: This is one way of keeping a person inside.

Raju: there is something fishy in the filing of the affidavit that is what I found yesterday. The affidavit was filed without being vetted by the investigatory agency without even referring the facts to the investigating agency.

Bombay HC today heard for 3 hours, the arguments of former judge and now Sr Adv Dr S Muralidhar, who appeared for 2 life convicts in the Mumbai 7/11 train blasts case.

A special bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Shyam Chandak is hearing the appeals of 12 convicts in the blasts case, of which 5 are facing death sentences while 7 are serving their life terms.

#BombayHighCourt #JusticeMuralidhar #MumbaiBlastsCaseImage
Appearing for two life convicts - one from Bangalore and the other from Mumbai, Muralidhar argued on various issues like media trial, lapses on part of the prosecution, the trial court, confessional statements of the accused etc.

#BombayHighCourt #JusticeMuralidhar #MumbaiBlastsCase
According to Muralidhar, there has been a "biased investigation" in this case.

"Innocent people are sent to jail and then years later when they are released from jail there is no possibility for reconstruction of their lives. From last 17 years these accused are in jail. They haven't stepped out even for a day. The majority of their prime life is gone," Muralidhar submitted.

#AllahabadHighCourt is hearing a plea moved by Alt-News Co-founder Mohammed Zubair (@zoo_bear) challenging an FIR lodged against him accusing him of 'promoting enmity' by putting a post on 'X' about #YatiNarsinghanand's speech. Image
A bench of Justice Siddhartha Varma and Justice Justice Nalin Kumar Srivastava is hearing the matter.

On December 18, the #AllahabadHighCourt had orally questioned Zubair for choosing to post the matter on social media rather than filing an FIR against Yati Narsinhanand or approaching the court seeking appropriate remedy.
The Court had also directed the UP Government to file a short counter in the matter.

The counter has been filed, the bench is perusing the same.

#DelhiGreenCover #TreeCensus Image
The Court is also considering imposing a cap on tree felling permissions over which permission will be sought from a committee of experts.

#SupremeCourt
#DelhiGreenCover #TreeCensus
J Oka: They have sufficient infrastructure?

Amicus ADN Rao: they say they will be able to.

J Oka: one more aspect is that whenever permissions have been granted the tree officers should verify whether compensatory afforestation has been really done and whether it is surviving.
