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 please seeking reservation for OBC advocates in the office of the Advocate General Madhya Pradesh.

Bench: Justice MM Sundresh and Justice N Kotiswar Singh.
Counsel for petitioner: in the recent appointment they have not taken a single ST candidates and only limited SC candidates.

J Sundresh: can we give reservations for law clerks? The AG will bring his own people.
J Singh: if the AG changes the govt pleaders will also change.

Counsel: there is no representation of the people we are representing. Once they are appointed as govt lawyers they can get appointed as judge. But currently there is no representation. Govt is giving salary in MP.

#AllahabadHighCourt to continue hearing petitions filed by ASP Anuj Chaudhary & #UPGovt challenging a January 2026 order passed by a CJM Court in #Sambhal, which ordered FIR against @Uppolice officials over an alleged firing incident during November 2024 #SambhalViolenceImage
A bench of Justice Samit Gopal will hear the case.

Yesterday,the Additional Advocate General (AAG) Manish Goyal argued that the Magistrate concerned had "exceeded the boundaries of the #BNSS" by passing the impugned order by ignoring the mandatory safeguards under the law.
It was argued that the CJM concerned failed to adhere to the strict procedural safeguards under Section 175(4) of the BNSS, which are designed to protect public servants discharging official duties.

Last week, CM #MamataBanerjee appeared in person before the Court and argued that West Bengal was being targeted ahead of State Assembly elections

She particularly raised concerns about characterization of voters in a "logical discrepancy" category by the ECI over minor name spelling mismatches, most of which were allegedly attributable to translation from Bengali/local dialect to English.

#SupremeCourt hears the issue of reservation for women lawyers in Bar Council Elections Image
CJI: the representation from 30 to anythign we are not going to change

Counsel: BCI or BCD cannot be a particular body which can decide to co-opt...only 23 can be elected, remaining 2 can be anyone...when women candidate are to be co-opted- there are so many in the frame, it is women against women
Counsel: election is a democratic process, out of the 2 someone is nominated, is it not heart burning for the others running the campaign, the two co-opted posts cannot be for women, let it go to the general candidates
