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.

Kerala High Court has orally remarked that it is inclined to allow some of the crew members of MSC Elsa 3 ship to leave India.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas is hearing a plea of the crew members seeking to return to their home countries.

The ship had sank off the coast of Kerala on May 25, 2025 and the crew members had been in India since then.

#KeralaHighCourt #MSCElsa3Image
The Court had orally remarked:
They can be witnesses, they can give evidence. they can always ask them. Even as far as petitioners 1 and 3 are concerned, some conditions are imposed to give evidence as and when required, that would be sufficient, I think...Even if they are in the lap of luxury, still to be confined to one place, which is an alien place, without any time limit, it would be very agonising...They have been here for 1 year without any idea about how much longer they would have to stay...What is the requirement of their presence here? Suppose, appropriate conditions can be imposed. What are the conditions that can be imposed to ensure that they appear as and when required? Suppose they have been made witnesses in the report, they have to come and give evidence, what measures can you adopt?

ASGI: Whatever conditions that this Hon’ble Court may impose.
The Court has also called for an urgent report from the JFCM I, Thoppumpady. The case is posted tomorrow for considering the report and to decide whether the other crew members can be permitted to leave as they are arrayed as accused.
