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 the Kerala Wakf Board's plea challenging the Kerala HC's recent order restraining it from taking major policy decisions over absence of 2 non-Muslim members

Bench: CJI Surya Kant, J Joymalya Bagchi and J Vipul M Pancholi

Sr Adv K Parmeswar (for respondents): State appeared and conceded...

J Bagchi: Whatever may be, we will call upon the state to report on compliance

Sr Adv Jaideep Gupta (for State): Order says it's posted for tomorrow. This is an interim order. There is no reason why your lordships should interfere at this stage

J Bagchi: Why should the Board for this reason stand handicapped by this restriction?

Parmeswar: Jt. Secy is part of the statutory Board!

Sr Adv Huzefa Ahmadi (for Waqf Board) - State is supporting the petitioner.Image
Gupta: In one case, issue is of absence of 2 Non-Muslims...in another, ratio of Shia Muslims has to be determined

Another Sr Adv (for Board): ad-interim order passed in a PIL! Behind the back of the Board

CJI: We are only concerned with para 6 (restraining policy decisions without leave of Court)

Ahmadi: Notification (14.02.2026) originally appointed 9 members. They have term of 5 years. What they want to do is - they want to substitute them with their own people. That's the game. PIL filed by someone who belongs to a political party.

#SupremeCourt #KeralaWaqfBoard
Ahmadi: Where was the question of saying that Board can't function? And natural justice? I appear before court and say give me time...members of Waqf Board are not served with copy...extraordinary order passed. S. 14 does not say that if there is any vacancy, then Board becomes defunct

A counsel: The impugned order is in 4 petitions. One was for reconstitution of Board

Ahmadi: The only ground raised in HC order is non-appointment of Non-Muslim members

J Bagchi: This is an ad-interim order. Question of your prejudice can be taken care of by seeking modification of that order. And we can give that liberty. The extent to which it becomes egregious interference in day-to-day functioning...we will set aside last line.

#SupremeCourt to hear today Meghalaya govt's plea challenging the HC order granting bail to Sonam Raghuwanshi, prime suspect in the chilling May 2025 "honeymoon murder" of her husband Raja Raghuwanshi

Bench: Justice MM Sundresh and Justice PB Varale. Image
The High Court granted Sonam bail on the ground that grounds of arrest were not fully supplied to her at the time of arrest.

Meghalaya govt has claimed that there was only a typographical error in the grounds supplied, as S.103(1) BNS was mentioned as S.403(1).
Matter taken up.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta: I am challenging the grant of bail. It is not for cancellation of bail. The respondent was married to some person. Immediately they go for honeymoon to Meghalaya. According to our investigation which is supported by the evidence lead her husband to be taken to an isolated place in the hills. 3 persons hired by her through her paramour were following her. Eventually the husband was killed. The wife also participated in the killing and the body was thrown in the ditch.

#BREAKING TMC MP Mahua Moitra moves Calcutta High Court against a compliant filed against her.

Counsel: She was attacked by a mob, eggs were pelted at her. She merely asked the egg pelters to face her directly and not hide in the crowd. Complaint was registered saying she insulted Hindu girls by religion. @MahuaMoitraImage
Counsel: No offence has been disclosed
Counsel: the word “Hindu” was never uttered by the petitioner. What is bizarre is the repetitive issuance of 35(3) notices. She is attending the monsoon session of parliament. My prayer is to get no coercive steps and so that I can appear before them in virtual mode. I am ready to cooperate
