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.

Order: ...These protests largely made by Adivasi and Dalit communities are stated to have turned violent. Some protestors engaged in anti-mining protests and attacked Vedanta officials. We are not concerned with legality of land acquisition or veracity of FIRs. Relevant development is that 40 individuals were arrested, and while some were granted bail, relief of bail was subjected to range of conditions.

Notably, these conditions included an unprecedented requirement that accused must undertake cleaning of police stations for 2 months. For instance, the Odisha HC in cases of [...] while granting bail imposed the aforesaid peculiar conditions and observed...another similar order was passed by addl. district and sessions judge.
