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.

#SupremeCourt hears plea filed by a Muslim cleric alleged to be a victim of a hate crime in Noida

The petitioner seeks a fair and impartial investigation and action against police officials who allegedly refused to take action on his complaint

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta

Recently, the bench reserved orders in the hate speech batch of petitions, but kept this case pendingImage
ASG KM Nataraj: Now the trial is going on, nothing may survive in this matter

Sr Adv Huzefa Ahmadi (for petitioner): Today main grievance is - even today, there's refusal to lodge FIR for offenses under IPC which relate to hate crime. Incident of 4.7.21 - first counter by state was in denial...in January'23, court called for case diary...after 2 days, FIR was lodged...but not for hate crime...they said it was offense against human body, etc.

#HateCrime
J Mehta: What offenses under IPC?

Ahmadi: Sections 153A, 295A

J Mehta: Let trial court apply its mind

Ahmadi: I am trying to show a pattern of reluctance to take cognizance of fact that this kind of thing is happening

J Nath: On general issue, we have reserved decision.

Counsel: she has given the following documents- voter list of 1970, containing names of the father, mother...since 1966, the records show that

J Bagchi: who is your mother ? your mother features first in 1985Image
Counsel: kindly remand the matter before the tribunal

CJI: how can we remand the matter, if you have any other proof to connect you as the natural daughter of (inaudible)...
J Bagchi: you are naming yourself to be born from Abdul noor and Sulema, till 1987, she has not married abdul noor...the connect between you and your natural father is becoming dubious, that is why we are not giving you an advantage

#SupremeCourt hears batch of petitions on the issue of whether PMLA proceedings survive when predicate offence is quashed on the basis of compromise and not on merits.

Bench: Justice MM Sundresh and Justice N Kotiswar Singh Image
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju takes the Court through relevant definitions under the PMLA Act.

ASG: this is not a case of full acquittal of the full case. In the predicate offence in India one of the accused has been convicted.
ASG: scheduled offence still exists. One of them is convicted. If we are independently able to show in the PMLA case that a predicate offence existed then that might suffice irrespective of what happens when the predicate case
