Delhi High Court to hear bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the case alleging corruption in implementation of excise policy for the year 2021-22 registered by CBI.
#SupremeCourt hears petition challenging Section 64 of the CrPC the ground that the said section discriminates against women by treating female members of a family incapable of accepting summons on behalf of the person summoned.
Section 64 of CrPC relates to service of summons when a person summoned cannot be found. The section states that summons can be served with an "adult male member" of the family of the person summoned.
AG: Consultation has taken place. In fact, I've personally asked the government to take an active role in this. Some of this has to do with sedition laws.
CJI DY Chandrachud: What does sedition law have to do with this?
Bombay High Court hearing a PIL challenging eligibility criteria of minimum 75% 12th boards marks for admission to courses through JEE Mains examination. @DG_NTA #BombayHighCourt#JEEMain2023
Bench of Acting CJ SV Gangapurwala and J. Sandeep V. Marne hearing the PIL filed by @anubha1812
#SupremeCourt to hear shortly the petition filed BJP UP Spokesperson Prashant Umrao challenging the Madras HC's pre-arrest bail condition that he should appear before police for 15 days in the criminal case for allegedly spreading fake news about attacks against Bihari migrants
A bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and Pankaj Mithal will also hear another petition filed by Prashant Umrao seeking clubbing of multiple FIRs registered by Tamil Nadu police over his tweets.
Senior Adv Siddharth Luthra for petitioner : State has multiple FIRs. I have got protection in one FIR. If I appear before police as per bail condition, I will be arrested in other FIRs.
The ordinance fixes max age of 50 years for appointment as Tribunal Members.
Sr Adv Rohatgi: These are four officers. Two of them were district Judges who left their posts and joined there, one was AOR here who left here and joined there.
Rohatgi: It is very clear that we will retire according to rules then prevailing when we applied in 2016. When they were appointed in 2018, they slipped in the line that the tenure will be 5 years or 62 whichever is earlier- this is completely wrong.
Petitioner: After the last order, there was a meeting by SC Committee on Road Safety with 15 states. Each state indicated to the committee what steps were taken. It was decided that a standardization was required - which electronic monitoring to be used, budget was also discussed
Petitioner: The committee met the Home Secretary because implementation needs to be there.
CJI DY Chandrachud: MP HC cancelled the bail. HC observed that bail was granted by Trial Court without taking into account an earlier order of HC and hence the mere fact that the chargesheet that was filed could not be considered as change in circumstances.
