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.

Justice Abhay Oka, former Supreme Court judge, to shortly speak at the 45th JP Memorial Lecture at Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh.

The judge will be speaking on "Reclaiming Justice: Bringing Back The Constitution & The People Into The Judiciary"

#JusticeAbhayOka Image
J Oka: Fortunately, my parents made me compulsorily read a Marathi and English newspapers. Then I read about JP Narayan, how he began a movement and how he became a leader. We knew him as somebody who led agitations against the then Indira Gandhi government. He was truely a Gandhian, a colleague of Vinobaji Bhave... He was a strong supporter of "non-violence."

#JusticeOkaImage
J Oka reads out a quote by JP Narayan on non-violence.

In few lines, such a beautiful message has been given by him. When I was reading about him, I felt that he should have continued in active life for more 10 years. What he started in Bihar, was incomplete due to Emergency and his health. Perhaps had he continued his active life for more 10 years, we would have been a different India today.
