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.

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay Oka to shortly deliver a lecture on Clean Air, "Climate Justice and We - Together for a Sustainable Future" organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association.

Follow this thread for updates. Image
Lecture begins.

J Oka: I was associated with three MC Mehta cases. Few days back just before Diwali, some young law students met me. They wanted me on their podcast. They wanted me to talk about the recent relaxation on firecracker ban.
J Oka: I told them that I will not talk about any matter that I was associated with while I was a judge. So I am not going to say anything about the MC Mehta cases are any other cases that I have dealt with on the judicial side.

Maybe some may feel that there will not be any fireworks today!

#SupremeCourt hears a plea concerning government's insurance coverage scheme for doctors who died due to COVID-19 during the pandemic.

J Narasimha: Society will not forgive us if we don't take care of our doctors. Image
J Narasimha to Centre: You should compel the insurance company to pay if according to you the condition is met that they were on COVID response and they died because of COVID. Merely because they were not in government duty the assumption that they were making profits and then they were sitting is not correct.
J Narasimha: We will not go into individual claims. We will just lay down the principles.

A Constitution Bench of the #SupremeCourt led by CJI BR Gavai to hear today the All India Judges Association case.

The bench will decide whether to earmark a quota of District Judge posts for those who entered judiciary as Civil Judges(Junior Division) to avoid career stagnation.Image
Sr Adv Siddharth Bhatnagar appears as the Amicus Curiae in the case
Bhatnagar refers to the reference order :
"It cannot be disputed that the judges who were initially appointed as CJ(Civil Judges) gain rich experience since they have been serving in the judiciary for a number of decades. Furthermore, every judicial officer, be it one who was initially recruited as CJ or one who was directly recruited as a District Judge, has an aspiration to reach at least up to the position of a High Court Judge.

We are, therefore, of the view that a proper balance has to be struck between the competing claims. However, this issue would involve consideration of some of the judgments and orders passed by Benches comprising of three learned judges of this Court. Therefore, in order to put the entire controversy at rest and provide a meaningful and long-lasting solution, we are of the considered view that it will be appropriate if the issue is considered by a by a Constitution Bench consisting of five learned Judges of this Court."

#SupremeCourt hears PIL pertaining to vacancies in Information Commissions set up under the Right to Information (RTI) Act

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi

Adv Prashant Bhushan (for petitioner): 5 orders by this Court to fill up vacancies, but they keep seeking time...no transparency. They have not put out shortlisting criteria and shortlisted names in public domain. They have to be put out prior to appointment! They are saying they can appoint someone who has not even applied

J Kant: You're right there's delay. But they are asking for 2-3 more weeks. Can wait.Image
J Kant: Let the right time come

Bhushan: What is the right time? They are saying they have shortlisted

ASG KM Nataraj: They can't make these arguments before appointment

Bhushan: This Court said they have to state on affidavit before appointment...

J Kant: Appointment is not fait accompli.

#SupremeCourt #InformationCommissions
Bhushan: We are asking for transparency. People have right to know who are the people who have applied, what is the shortlisting criteria and who has been shortlisted

J Kant: This information will come in public domain. We will get that information

Bhushan: This, people need to know before appointment

ASG: They are mixing eligibility and suitability of candidates.

#SupremeCourt issues notice to all states in the suo moto case regarding digital arrest scams based on forged court orders.

Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi Image
Attorney General for India R Venkatramani appearing.

J Kant: there are more than one instance taken place in different parts. We are inclined to entrust the matter to CBI in respect of all the states because this is a kind of crime which is operating maybe Pan India or maybe even across the border also.
AGI: there are money laundering gangs located outside our territory. In many parts of Asia - Myanmar, Thailand etc.

J Kant: we will appreciated if the state takes stand that yes this matter should be investigated by a central agency.
