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.
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.
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.

Bench: Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan.
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.

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.

J Kant: You want us to make a sweeping statement? If it has been misused, let those parties come
