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.

Sibal: see my proposal, I am in another capacity. electoral verdict can be changed through this process, majority will become minority, vice versa

J Narasimha: these are issues typically to be raised before the floor of house if not, then before political party. 10th schedule is intended to regulate mechnism. what transpired working of 10th schedule we have been seeing it, enormous issues.

The petitioners specifically seek probe into the incidents of July 20, when the #SansadChalo march to Parliament was statedly met with use of tear gas and batons

Delhi High Court is hearing a PIL alleging continuous surveillance on student protesters at Jantar Mantar by Delhi Police.

Matter before Chief Justice bench.

@Cockroachisback Image
Court: Why plurality of petitions?

Senior Adv Nandita Rao appears for Petitioner requests for notice.

SGI Tushar Mehta: I have preliminary objection.
Rao: Law in Puttuswamy is very clear. In a democratic polity, there is right to privacy at public place. Even during protest. Yes it can be restrained but there is triple test. It is to be based on State need and it has to be proportionate.

Sr Adv Vikas Singh: Livestream - personally I don't see any problem

CJI Kant: Now this forces everyone to read things
