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.

Bench: Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan. Image
Order: A very important issue has been flagged by the applicant. Road accidents in our country are on the rise. The reasons may be different. There are cases and cases where victims of road accidents (who are injured) do not get immediate healthcare.
Order: there are cases where the victims may not be injured but they get trapped in vehicles. In short the issue raised about by the applicant is about obligation of the state to develop a machinery which will provide for swift response in case of accidents.

#MadrasHighCourt continues hearing the pleas filed by State and TASMAC against the search conducted by #EnforcementDirectorate at #TASMAC headquarters.

Matter before bench of Justices SM Subramaniam and K Rajasekaran Image
Yesterday, TASMAC argued that ED’s recent searches were in connection with the upcoming Tamil Nadu Elections as it wanted to tarnish the image of people involved in the election.

ASG SV Raju appearing for the #ED.

#tasmacscam
ASG: kindly look at section 17 PMLA. ED can have reason to believe any person has committed money laundering,

Any person…not just the person being searched. OR is in possession of proceeds of crime even if he didn’t commit the offence.
