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 to hear today a plea filed by Lokpal of India challenging Delhi HC's quashing of its sanction to #CBI to file chargesheet against #TrinamoolCongress leader @MahuaMoitra in relation to the cash-for-query row

Bench: CJI Surya Kant and J Joymalya Bagchi Image
Hearing begins

SG Tushar Mehta (for CBI): I support the interpretation given to the Act, though respondents need to be investigated

Sr Adv Ranjit Kumar (for Lokpal): There's interpretation issue of sections made by Hon'ble judges...we are not here about any individual...we are here about interplay of different parts of the sections.

#SupremeCourt #MahuaMoitra
Kumar: There's a direction in 1st case for compliance...regarding S.20(7) of Lokpal Act

Sr Adv Nidhesh Gupta (for Moitra): There should be status quo...this is a sanction which contemplates chargesheet and prosecution

J Bagchi: We require to examine in light of S.12 of Act...that is the foundation...that 20(7) and 20(8) need to converge. What the HC judge has done is made a purposive interpretation of the provisions. We have our reading of the law

Gupta: S.20(7) says you will consider closure...Lokpal says I will consider at stage of 2nd...

J Bagchi: That's why HC finds Lokpal at fault.

#SupremeCourt hears MC Mehta case pertaining to air quality in Delhi

Bench: CJI Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Vipul Pancholi

Sr Adv Aparajita Singh gives suggestions on re-captioning of the case(s) to avoid impression that matter is pending since 1985 Image
Order: Instant writ petition (of 1985) involves continuous mandamus issued by this court for controlling and management of high pollution level and other related issues namely [...]. Though wp was filed in 1985...series of orders were passed...various IAs have been preferred raising various issues, most of which have been disposed of with certain directions from time to time.
Order: On the previous date, parties were ad idem that this is high time when the proceedings, purportedly of 1985, ought to be formally disposed of. It was suggested that WP should be aptly recaptioned. Suggestion supported by stakeholders. We formally disposed of the WP. No IA or misc appln. shall hitherto be entertained by the Registry in that matter. Instead, Registry shall register suo motu proceedings re: Issues of air pollution in NCR.
