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.

#BREAKING Calcutta High Court hearing a plea against #Midday meal plan announced by Bengal CM @SuvenduWB.

Sr Adv Kalyan Bandopadhyay: Earlier the meals were supplied by self help groups comprised of women, like all over the country.

The CM announced that henceforth #ISKCON only would be supplying it.

@iskcon #CalcuttaHighCourtImage
Bandopadhyay: Therefore the scheme for students to eat and to help the self help groups is being replaced by ISKCON.

Please see the objective of the PM-Poshan scheme.

#CalcuttaHighCourt
Bandopadhyay: it seeks to provide employment to women and self help groups and to provide meals for children. Kindly see the guidelines for engagement of private bodies.

Community participation is key to success of a midday meal scheme, when the meal is cooked locally in the school premises.

#BREAKING Sr Adv Kishore Datta arguing a matter on egg-pelting at Alipore Court premises at former sports minister #AroopBiswas.

Sr Adv: Lawyers were there with eggs in hand. I feel ashamed to be a part of this fraternity. I will argue that this is criminal contempt…interfering with the course of justice.

#CalcuttaHighCourtImage
Court: now this matter is pending in a PIL before the Chief Justice. We have read that an SOP is to be formulated.

Datta: unfortunately, things are being invented and the judiciary had to step in. Everything is happening in front of the police, with people who are supposed to be in custody of law.

#CalcuttaHighCourt
Datta: whenever someone is in custody

Court: parading publicly, or egg throwing this menace has to stop

Datta: here the petitioner (Aroop Biswas) cooperated with the agency. As usual media was there and live streaming, and this happened

#Breaking Sr Adv Kalyan Bandopadhyay appearing in Calcutta High Court seeking permission for a #rally to be held in #Kolkata tomorrow.

Court: it may cause hardship to the general people on a working day

State: It is their burning issue

Sr Adv: don’t say burning issue. Such issues always arise. Look at what happened in #Baruipur yesterday.

#CalcuttaHighCourtImage
Sr Adv: the state cannot tell me when to protest. It is my democratic right under article 19. Every day the right is there. It is not restricted to weekends.

Let the government declare that nothing will be done in the state except the weekend, we will accept that. Peculiar stand.

#CalcuttaHighCourt
Sr Adv: I live in that area. For 40 years. No such crowd till 6pm.

Court: do it from 1 to 4pm

Sr Adv: 2 to 4pm.

Court: don’t choke the road. Do it in a way vehicles can ply. It is a narrow road

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

Bench: Justices MM Sundresh and Sheel Nagu

The High Court granted Sonam bail, primarily 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, insofar as S.103(1) BNS was mentioned as S.403(1).Image
#SonamRaghuwanshi bail challenge - Hearing begins

SG Tushar Mehta (for Meghalaya): This is really shocking. I will show 4 pages...this is a case where both of them go to Meghalaya for honeymoon...wife takes husband to hilly area and kills him...body thrown in valley...3 accomplices

J Sundresh: It was thrown or she pushed?

SG: He was killed and then dead body was thrown in gorge...found after 3 days. Lady herself was part of physical assault. She was arrested somewhere in UP...she absconded.
SG: First time the lady's bail was rejected. Please see pg. 161...I generally don't do this...but please see the name of the ld. judge...same ld. judge...the judge says there's prima facie material accused was involved in crime...and there was likelihood to abscond. Again, she applied for bail...a supplementary chargesheet was filed...it found that as plan B she was carrying a gun also...if husband could not be killed by assaulting on hill, weapon was there

SG assails grant of bail: There is no S.403 BNS...ld. Magistrate had explained her the grounds...This is in the teeth of judgment in State of Karnataka v. Darshan...court said prejudice has to be shown. Only typo error was there. For 3 consecutive bail applications, she does not raise this ground. She was represented by lawyer. She admits she did not raise this ground. You don't release somebody on technical grounds.

J Sundresh: What's the stage now?

SG: Stage of trial. Really painful. There are 94 witnesses. Sets a wrong precedent

J Sundresh: Prima facie we have a reservation about HC order...we will see how trial proceeds. Fact remains she was informed about grounds. In earlier bail pleas, she did not raise this issue.

#Breaking Counsel approaches Calcutta High Court Acting Chief Justice regarding listing of Abhishek Banerjee’s PA Sumit Roy’s anticipatory bail plea.

Counsel: Milord this is specially considering that your lordship is the master of the roster. We filed on 15th June and it was called by the concerned court.Image
Counsel: while my matter was pending, a raid was conducted at my house to arrest me on Saturday . The concerned court did not sit on Monday. Your lordship assigned the determination to another court.

We did not bother that court, but on Tuesday we mentioned the matter again.
Counsel: yesterday the court said the matter can be kept today before the original bench.

Even today the concerned bench is not sitting. Police is hounding me. My application is pending
