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 hears the issue of reservation for women lawyers in Bar Council Elections Image
CJI: the representation from 30 to anythign we are not going to change

Counsel: BCI or BCD cannot be a particular body which can decide to co-opt...only 23 can be elected, remaining 2 can be anyone...when women candidate are to be co-opted- there are so many in the frame, it is women against women
Counsel: election is a democratic process, out of the 2 someone is nominated, is it not heart burning for the others running the campaign, the two co-opted posts cannot be for women, let it go to the general candidates

#SupremeCourt to hear today Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party’s petition challenging #Bihar assembly elections.

They contend that election was vitiated due to announcement of Rs 10K transfer to women during MCC period. They seek fresh elections.

@PrashantKishor Image
#BiharElections matter taken up

Sr Adv CU Singh (for Jan Suraaj): The point which arises here is...what your lordships are seized of in Upadhyay matter etc. - freebies matter...

J Bagchi: In which clause of S.100 will your election petition fall?

CJI: Suppose someone files election petition in time

Singh: Level playing field on the face of it...creating situation where there's complete disparity...in a fiscal deficit state...most indebted state...to pay 15,600 crores in immediate pre-election time...adding to future debt, with no budgetary support.

#SupremeCourt #PrashantKishor
CJI: We can't issue notice like this. There has to be a format of entertaining a petition. It has to be shown in election petition that particular candidate has been benefited...and that amounts to corrupt practice.

Singh: I am not on corrupt practice alone...I am also on Model Code of Conduct being disturbed across state...these are subject of judicial review, not election petition

CJI: What is the logic of not going to High Court? It can verify anything and take view. It's not a pan-India issue

Singh: Your lordships are seized of the issue in similar cases.
