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 PIL seeking to restrain livestream and video circulation of court proceedings

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

CJI Kant: Now this forces everyone to read things

J Bagchi: Regulating data is one of the biggest challenges in digital space...so we should ensure limited access and therefore restrict live stream itself. Parties must expressly make prayer that I want to see...IT CAN'T BE 24/7 ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL BY COURT

Singh flags what happened in J KV Viswanathan's court: it has become a joke.Image
SG Tushar Mehta backs Singh's submissions

Issue of short clips of court proceedings circulating without context flagged

SG: Suppose your lordships are saying something to me and I am responding...there are AI tools...with same lip movement, my and your lordships' words can be changed in our respective voices

CJI - In print forum, I have already experienced. What I never said was thrusted upon me by these people

Singh presses for interim order

SG: In some HCs, some people try to be social media celebrities

CJI: Current example is day before. Morning, mentioning is made before me. Till today 10 AM, no petition is filed. Can an application sent to Secy General be entertained as a writ petition?

Singh: A petition was pending on that in Delhi HC. Probably lawyer did not know HC was seized of issue

SG: He does it every time. Background only lawyers would know.
Notice issued

On oral mentioning, High Courts also impleaded

Order: Union will put up a proposal wrt the nodal ministries to give effect to the prayers made in the petition

Singh presses for interim order

SG: I join Mr Singh

Singh: Even this hearing may be misinterpreted

Order: HCs to submit report on adoption of [...] circulated by this court. They will also explain impact of continuous live streaming

J Bagchi: Requests are made for online access. That link is shared. That also has to be regulated

Singh: It's being used to show I argued this or that

SG - Facebook and Instagram full of such clips

J Bagchi - We cannot stop demon which is out of bag.

"Lalita Kumari judgment has become a fashion...just because complaint is made, people say register FIR...that's not the import of the judgment"

- CJI Surya Kant

CJI bench hearing a plea seeking FIR registration over alleged custodial death of a man by consuming 100 diabetes pillsImage
Sr Adv for petitioner: A dying declaration is there.

Bench suggests that an FIR could be registered and further course determined based on investigation

SG SV Raju: Magistrate enquiry is going on. Post-mortem done by 5 doctors. No injury found

J Bagchi: Was he a drug addict?
Sr Adv: No, these were diabetes pills. He was under medication. In hospital for 4 days. 16th - he got admitted, 20th he died. Was taken to hospital by police

J Bagchi: Unnatural death in police custody...preliminary enquiry required. If there is any [...] material, FIR has to be registered. Mr Raju says Magistrate enquiry going on. Dying declaration only mentions he was assaulted

Sr Adv: On the same day when my father died, I said I was forcibly given...

ASG: Not a whisper. Incorrect.

Sr Adv: That's the way state is trying to protect.

J Bagchi: What is most compelling? The dying declaration. It is of assault. Your case of assault had been true if injuries noted were ante-mortem. If you are saying post-mortem is manipulated...

Sr Adv: I am saying so. State is protecting. let P.E. be by independent agency. Let it be by CBI. Let the post-mortem be investigated.

#Breaking: Bombay High Court says it doesn't want a situation in the country where policemen fail to protect the citizens and especially the law abiding citizens of India. Police cannot give any type of VIP treatment to accused persons.

The High Court expressed displeasure over Maharashtra Police for producing Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre through VC after his initial arrest in connection with a FIR lodged against him for assaulting 3 doctors in a Thane hospital.

#BombayHighCourtImage
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad said it will order enquiry against the officer who came up with the "innovative" idea of producing Mhatre virtually before the Magistrate for seeking his remand.

ACJ Ghuge: We want the name of this officer, who after arresting the accused came up with this innovative idea of producing him through VC. Either we will call the Commissioner of Police, Thane in court.

Advocate General Milind Sathe however, told the judges that when Mhatre was arrested, his vitals were checked and his BP was 160/100 so he was admitted and thus to ensure that the 24 hours time doesn't end, he was produced virtually.

#BombayHighCourt
ACJ Ghuge: For blood pressure of 160/100 he was admitted? When we sit here in this court and some lawyers argue anything, even our BP goes 160/100. Even we should get admitted?
