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 continue hearing the issue regarding the appointment of regular Vice-Chancellor appointments in two State Universities - APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and University of Digital Sciences Innovation and Technology.

Given the stalemate between Kerala Governor and State Government over appointments, the Supreme Court had appointed Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia to shortlist names for VC appointments

Bench: Justices JB Pardiwala and KV ViswanathanImage
AG for Governor: matter has been resolved and it was duly communicated to Justice Dhulia.

Sr Adv Jaideep Gupta for State of Kerala: order should not have been issued, the appointment order when the matter was pending. There is an affidavit filed

J Pardiwala:our concern was the appointments must be made

Gupta: they have filed an affidavit, I need to reply

J Pardiwala: let's put an end to this. we have to make sure that they are meritorious

Gupta: main matter at legal issue pending

AG: both of us should not disagree on the affidavit

J Pardiwala our just order dated 11 dec reads thus. After our last order referred to above, there has been some positive developments. This case illustrates how a timely and decivise intervention can go in long way in protecting rights of citizens. Two prominent university were ruler less. They had no permanent VC heading them. The only reason was, that a consensus was elluding the governor and state government. Doors of this court was knocked, we were deeply concerned.
J Pardiwala: we appointed formely J Dhulia and entrusted him with the task of recommending at least three names for VC in two universities. Today, we are happy that the chancellor and government in one voice has reported that the appointment of the VC has been made. We place our appreciation to the good office of J Dhulia. Our endeavour was that interest of all stakeholders are safeguards. We place our appreciation to the authorities who have acted in aid of the court in appointment. Curtains have been gracefully brought down by the authorities and we also appreciate the learned attorney general and also Mr Jaideep Gupta, learned senior counsel and to the entire team assisting for bringing around a very happy ending to this saga.
