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 constitution bench to continue hearing today Presidential Reference by President Droupadi Murmu (@rashtrapatibhvn) on 14 questions on the power to assent on Bills, including whether Court can fix timelines for the President/Governor to decide on Bills. Image
@rashtrapatibhvn The Presidential Reference, made under Article 143, came a month after Supreme Court's judgment in Tamil Nadu Governor's matter, wherein the Court held that the Governor did not act bona fide in reserving Bills to President. It held those bills as deemed assented.
@rashtrapatibhvn In the judgment passed by Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, the Court held that the President must act on the Bills reserved for her under Article 201 within 3 months: livelaw.in/top-stories/pr…

#JustIn: Jain Community tells Bombay High Court that it was easier to convince Mughal Emperor Akbar to close down slaughter houses during Paryushan Parva but it is very difficult to convince the Maharashtra Government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

#paryushan2025 #BombayHighCourt #BMCImage
This comes after the BMC Commissioner by an order dated August 14, 2025 decided to close down slaughter houses in Mumbai City for 2 days during Paryushan i.e August 24 and August 27 (Ganesh Chaturthi).

#paryushan2025 #BMC #BombayHighCourt
Adv Abhinav Chandrachud for the Jain Community submits that the BMC Chief failed to consider the fact the population of Jains is more in Mumbai than in Ahemdabad. He pointed out that Ahmedabad already has decided to close down slaughter houses in the city for all the days during the Paryushan Parva.
