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.

#BhojshalaKamalMaula dispute: #SupremeCourt to shortly hear the application moved by Muslim side seeking appropriate alternate site for offering of namaz by Muslims

Bench: CJI Surya Kant, J Joymalya Bagchi and J V Mohana

After the HC declared the site as a temple, the petitioners approached the SC challenging the HC order. While declining to pass an interim order for restoration of status quo ante, the SC directed the state to provide an alternate site near Bhojshala for offering of namaz on Fridays between 1-3 pm.Image
Sr Adv Huzefa Ahmadi (for applicant): We applied to the Collector for allocation of the space. There was a representation by a group called 'Maharaja...Samiti' to the Collector. It was in the teeth of your lordships' order, as it said alternate site may be given at "sufficient distance" from the Bhojshala complex. Please see the Collector order now.
Ahmadi: We also made a representation that the site was not near or adjacent

CJI: How far is the allocated site?

Ahmadi: if you go by google maps, it's 1.3 kms away. If you go by radius, it's 0.9 kms. One can't see the mosque from there. Adjacent space was made available earlier when there was huge congregation...it was also outside the complex. I had given the Collector a map and suggested 4 adjacent open spaces around complex, all of which are waqf land. I have affidavits from Mutawalli that they have no objection to performing of namaz.
