Parties in mediation are like passengers hiring a taxi, with mediator being taxi driver who helps parties reach their destination. While there could be bumps & detours on the way, mediator helps parties preserve their commercial & personal relationships. : Kaul J

Dave: My reservation is removed and given to some else few days before elections. They have removed 4% reservation for Muslims in Karnataka. It's completely against a series of SC judgements. Completely unconstitutional! Why is it done overnight? On the eve of election?

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?

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.
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?
