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.

Pune Porsche Case | #SupremeCourt hears bail plea of father of minor driver of the car involved in the 2024 accident that caused the death of two persons.

Bench: Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan. Image
The petitioner is accused of hatching a conspiracy to swap blood samples so that the occupants of the car get a Nil Alcohol report.
State Counsel: parity with other accused will not apply to this petitioner. They got bail because they argued that their children were the accused in the case. The child who was driving is admittedly the petitioner's son. He got his wife to get 5 lakh rupees to give as a bribe.

#SupremeCourt to hear today a batch of petitions related to #WestBengalSIR, including WB Chief Minister #MamataBanerjee's plea raising issues inter-alia about characterization of voters in the 'logical discrepancy' list

A bench led by CJI Surya Kant to hear the matter

Two fresh petitions filed by persons from West Bengal, against their exclusion from the voters' list after the SIR process, also listed before the benchImage
Yesterday, the fresh petitions were mentioned before the CJI, who wondered if the Court could sit in appeal over the decision of the authorities, bypassing the statutory remedies

In response, Sr Adv Menaka Guruswamy explained that the relevant orders had not been served on the petitioners and hence they were deprived of remedies.
Earlier, the Court directed appointment of judicial officers for the adjudication of claims and objections in the SIR process of the state

It also directed the WB Director General of Police to file a supplementary affidavit on the steps taken on complaints regarding threats to SIR officers.
