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.

#SupremeCourt #MahuaMoitra
Kumar: There's a direction in 1st case for compliance...regarding S.20(7) of Lokpal Act

Sr Adv Aparajita Singh gives suggestions on re-captioning of the case(s) to avoid impression that matter is pending since 1985
Order: Instant writ petition (of 1985) involves continuous mandamus issued by this court for controlling and management of high pollution level and other related issues namely [...]. Though wp was filed in 1985...series of orders were passed...various IAs have been preferred raising various issues, most of which have been disposed of with certain directions from time to time.
Order: On the previous date, parties were ad idem that this is high time when the proceedings, purportedly of 1985, ought to be formally disposed of. It was suggested that WP should be aptly recaptioned. Suggestion supported by stakeholders. We formally disposed of the WP. No IA or misc appln. shall hitherto be entertained by the Registry in that matter. Instead, Registry shall register suo motu proceedings re: Issues of air pollution in NCR.
