#BombayHighCourt sets aside order disallowing a divorcee from adopting sister’s child on the ground that she was a SINGLE WORKING WOMAN and wouldn’t be able to give personal attention to the #child.

“Generally, a single parent is bound to be a working person, maybe with some rare exceptions. Thus, by no stretch of the imagination, a single parent can be held to be ineligible to be an adoptive parent on the ground that he/she is a working person.” - #BombayHighCourt
The comparison done between the biological mother being a housewife and the prospective adoptive mother (single parent) being a working lady reflects a mindset of the medieval conservative concepts of a family...
...When the statute recognises a single parent to be eligible for being an adoptive parent, the approach of the Competent Court defeats the very object of the statute.” #BombayHighCourt #Adoption

Supreme Court is hearing appeal moved by State of Tamil Nadu challenging HC judgement which quashed ban on gutka, pan masala.

A Bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna hearing the matter.

#SupremeCourt
Sr Adv CD Vaidyanathan (for Respondents) : Please allow me to file a reply. Can there be a permanent Prohibition? There can be ban during a health emergency but no total Prohibition.

Sr Adv Abhishek Singhvi: Previous State notification expired years ago.
Sr Adv Kapil Sibal for govt: If it is injurious to public can the year on year argument be used? Can cancer depend on it?

Bench: Why don't you ban it permanently?

Sibal: That's for the Centre.

Bench: What you can't do directly? Can you do it indirectly?

[State of WB v Suvendu Adhikari]

Sr Adv AM Singhvi: A PIL by a political leader will get transferred to CBI. Point two, the writ is filed on 27th and the order is passed on 28th. Third, in counter before HC I've denied the allegations.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia Image
CJI DY Chandrachud: When the police was supposed to investigate - if the police files this kind of counter, what kind of investigation...

Singhvi: The impugned order quotes selectively.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia
Singhvi: Your lordships have not given them a chance! How can the probe be transferred? What is the point of jurisdictional bar if CBI can enter your area without consent?

[Plea alleging attacks against Christians in India in #SupremeCourt]

SG Mehta: Please see the compliance. The petitioner claimed that there are some 500 incidents where Christians were attacked. We sent everything to State government.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia Image
SG Mehta: We collated all information we got. First let's see Bihar. The total number which Petitioner gave are internal fights between neighbours one of which happens to be Christian - this they have resolved.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia
SG Mehta: Wherever actual offence was committed, that has been noted. The figure given by them, which obviously persuaded your lordships, was not correct.
