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.

#BandiBageerath #bail
HC: i wont grant order without hearing you (victim)

Reddy: do i make out case for grant of interim protection in the meantime. One objection i forsee is that i have approached here directly without approaching sessions court. I am supported by 2 SC judgments.

#SupremeCourt hears plea challenging law providing that selection panel for appointing Election Commissioners will consist of the Prime Minister, a Union Cabinet Minister, and the Leader of Opposition.

Bench: Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Image
Retd. IAS officer SN Shukla for petitioner Lok Prahari: We are challenging no only the law but also the appointments of CEC and both ECs under the Act. We are not challenging only on the ground of Anoop Baranwal judgment, but due to proven legal infirmity obtained via RTI.
Shukla: Dr. Ambedkar accepted that there is no point in making EC's tenure fixed and secure if there is nothing in the constitution to prevent a person likely to be under the thumb of the executive. The new Act fails to take care of this. It is violative of Articles 14 and 324.

Day 16 : #SupremeCourt to continue hearing Sabarimala reference, where larger issues concerning restriction of entry of women to Dargah, practice of FGM and ex-communication in the Dawoodi Bohra, and ex-communication of Parsi women after marrying a non-Parsi man have been raised.

Proceedings will probably conclude their arguments today.Image
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi: Syedna represented the community. [answering the issue raised by bench that the 1949 Act could have been read down instead of holding it unconstitutional in Sardar Syedna judgment] 5 pages of the judgment are devoted to the intervenor which the respondents are taking that he has power excommunication etc. I am an intervenor to the 1986 writ petition.

so called Board which is not registered, he died and its taken by another. the writ is abated, there is no person. finally, Syedna judgment is a very wrong bench and a very strong bar. Bar was represented by KM Munshi, member of the constituent assembly.
Rohatgi: last 75 years, there has been no excommunication. he doesn't have some diabolical bond that he can do anything.

Senior Advocate Gopal Subramanium: 4 submissions- judgment of HC of Gujarat erroneous-majority said that if she is still carrying out her faith as Parsi, it is a matter of evidence. Unanimously all judges relegated the petitioner to a suit. I sincerely urge we don't have to go into the facts of these cases.

Right located under article 25(1) or is 26 capable of independent standing

principle case plural drafting-all articles to be read together would apply to these articles 25 and 26

question about religion and religious denominations- I maintain religion is established doctrine of faith as commonly understood, denominations are those who belong to that faith-suggestion that religious denomination are extrapolate to the entirety of religion is not accurate

in our constitution, it is a misconception that we have hierarcy of rights- all FR are FRs, they are entitled to protection, they may collide but we have useful tests- reason why i say this is because of single or double proportionality, those are principles in relation to adjuding whether a right is breached and whether measure taken is proportionate or disproportionate

Advocate 1: my central point is to address the issue of social justice within religious communities. we are assuming part III standing alone and Article 26 on the other side. in 20th century there was a battle of religion, and I stand here on behalf of organisation Narayana Guru.

can space be given in the architecture to these forces so that they are complementary and supplement.

CJI: to my mind, that right is there

Advocate: i will show that attempts have been made to silence these voices.
Sr Advocate Rakesh Khanna: August 1947, Dr Ambedkar submitted a proposal to the sub committee on fundamental rights a document containing the right to religion.
