Former #SupremeCourt judge Rohinton Nariman delivering the Shanti Bhushan Centenary Memorial Lecture.

J Nariman: one of the first cases in which Shantiji was engaged was a criminal revision. It was a absolutely hopeless case of a person beating a policeman. He was hopeful because he found 2 procedural lapses. But he obviously lost that case and he was a little disturbed that he lost it. He ought to have lost it.

J Nariman: He came to the notice of Chief Justice Malik whenever argued a complicated civil case. Justice Malik called his father and told him that you stick to criminal cases and give all your civil cases to your son because he is a lot better than you in these cases. Shantiji as a result had a huge civil practice.

#SupremeCourt hears pleas challenging constitutionality of 'Talaq-e-Hasan', a form of divorce under Muslim law through which a man can separate from his wife by pronouncing "talaq" once a month for 3 months

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan and NK Singh

Earlier, the Court sought the responses of National Commission for Women, National Human Rights Commission and National Commission for Protection of Child Rights

NHRC seeks time to file its response

A counsel: Please note one case, this girl is more aggrieved than the rest. She will indulge herself in polyandry because of her husband. In the 11 page talaq notice, sign of husband is missing. Talaq pronounced by husband’s advocate

Sr Adv MR Shamshad (for husband): This is a common practice in Islam

J Kant: Can this be a practice? How these new innovative ideas are being invented?

Shamshad: If that is the problem, we will rectify. Husband can relegate right to anyone, to wife also.

#SupremeCourt #TalaqEHasan

J Kant: How did the advocate come to know about her address?

Shamshad: Husband has given instruction

J Kant: What prevents husband to directly write communication to her? He has such ego that even for divorce he cannot speak to her? How are you promoting this kind of thing in modern society? It is dignity of woman. Tomorrow if a client disowns the advocate? We salute this woman who has chosen to fight for her right. But there may be a poor woman, who does not know…does not have resources…she remarries…earlier husband can come and say you are indulging in [polyandry]. Should a civilized society allow this kind of practice?

Court is informed the husband is a lawyer.

#SupremeCourt to hear today Ashoka University Professor #AliKhanMahmudabad's (@Mahmudabad) plea against the FIRs lodged by Haryana police over his social media posts on 'Operation Sindoor'

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan and NK Singh

Earlier, the Court granted Mahmudabad interim bail and directed constitution of a Special Investigation Team to examine his posts and file a report

Subsequently, the Court observed that the SIT was formed to investigate the 2 social media posts and asked why the scope was being expanded

The remarks came after the bench was told that the SIT had seized Mahmudabad's devices and was asking about foreign trips for the last 10 years.

#SupremeCourt #AliKhanMahmudabad

Noting that Mahmudabad had cooperated with the investigation and surrendered his devices, the Court directed that he should not be summoned again

"You don't require him (Mahmudabad), you require a dictionary," Justice Kant said

The bench also directed the SIT to conclude its investigation within four weeks.

#SupremeCourt will hear the bail petitions of #UmarKhalid, Sharjeel Imam, Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, etc in the riots larger conspiracy case on November 18.

Bench: Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria

Delhi police will begin their arguments.

#MENTIONING: Last order says it has to be listed at 2:30 pm.

J Kumar: Come at 2pm.

Court is informed that SG Tushar Mehta will begin arguments for Delhi Police.

Solicitor General Mehta appears.

SG Mehta: some highlights must be shown-suprisingly- there has been a narrative built in social media that the documents running into few weeks but every counsel took 5 to 10 minutes. Our efforts to show that, narrative is different, facts different.

Two keywords- there was a protest and it resulted into communal riots. Mylords have been several communal riots...first of all, I would like the mith to be bursted, this was not spontaneous riot but well-crafted, orcheshtrated, preplanned, choreographed riots. This was not spontaneous, this was an attack against the sovereignity of the nation- I say this with sense of responsibility.

Speech after speech, it was to divide the society. It was mere a mere agitation. Imam- he says, my heartful wish for chakka jam for every city where muslim reside, supposedly intelluctual. He says- our our muslims incapacited that they can't close down delhi?

the riots were not delhi-centric, it did not spread because of security forces. He says Muslims must unite and separate northeast from India.
