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.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice BV Nagarathna to soon speak to the book launch of Senior Advocate @IJaising Image
CJI and Justice Nagarathna couldn't make it to the event.
@SreenivasanJain and @IJaising to have a conversation on the book.

Jain: has the legal system being effective or has it fallen short?

Jaising: the constitution is very personal to me. Part of the reason is I have nowhere to go to be a refugee from Pakistan. In this country, people ask where you belong and after introspection, I realised that I belong to the Constitution, it's my home.
Jain: about the legal system, has it been effective in safeguarding the system?.

Jaising: all governments have tried to shake the foundation of the constitution, first time when the emergency was declared. Currently also the constitution is also under threat. My colleagues argued Sabarimala and Hindu appears only once in the entire Constitution and not even in the preamble. And it appears in a progressive context that hindu place can be thrown open by mandate of the legislation.

Jain: there is a sense that we are drifting to majoritarianism. You say when you started career, despite the difference to the executive, you were able to secure rights.

Jaising: with successive CJIs regardless of who is in power, there is a difference. But that is not the reason to abandon constitution and constitutional courts.

Jain: it's importance to use courts as shield to defend rights. You won very significant judgements.

Jaising: most didn't use the courts in the 50s, it is only in 70s people started using the court as sword where you are proactively asking for implementation of social economic rights.

Singh, a member of the Press Club was "expelled" from the Club after he organised an event which was attended by Varavara Rao & Sudha Bharadwaj, both of whom are prime accused in the Bhima Koregaon - Elgar Parishad case.

#BombayHighCourtImage
Singh had moved a civil court seeking directions to the Press Club to allow him to participate in the elections to the Club which are scheduled to take place in July.

#BombayHighCourt
The Mumbai Press Club has challenged the ad-interim order directing it to permit Singh to participate in the elections.

Today, Singh, raised an objection to Justice Patil hearing the matter on the ground that the court will have to also consider the conditions of the bail granted to both Rao and Bharadwaj, majorly the one which barred them from interacting with each other.
