After Bar Council of India, the All District Bar Associations of Delhi has passed a resolution expressing displeasure on the day-to-day proceedings going on before the Supreme Court on the issue of granting recognition to same-sex marriages.
#SameSexMarriage #SupremeCourt Image
The co-ordination committee of the district bar associations of the national capital has said that although the Supreme Court "plays a pivotal and crucial role in upholding the rule of law", there are certain issues that are too complex and have far- reaching consequences that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The resolution states that the social ramifications of the ongoing proceedings before the SC are colossal and have the potential to have an unintended impact on the fabric of the society.
"There are certain issues that are deeply entrenched in societal norms, values, and beliefs. These issues require careful consideration and public debate, as any decision or action taken without societal acceptance may have far-reaching consequences."
"Such issues require a broad-based consensus that can only be achieved through public debate and discussion. Therefore, it is important that issues that have the potential to affect society at large are discussed and debated in Parliament, where elected representatives can take… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The resolution further states that the legislature, while drafting various laws on marriage, never envisaged the issue of marriage between people of same sex and therefore any judicial intent, when non existed, would be rendered nugatory.
"In a democratic setup, the duty of law-making is typically delegated by the electorate to its elected representatives. Thus, the legislature would be best suited to foray into the new arenas of law-making, as per the evolving needs of the society."
"The issue of same sex marriage and its societal, psychological and medical impacts are at its nascent and experimentative stage and thus should be treated with utmost caution and wide consultation and discussions."

Excise Policy Scam: Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court to pronounce today its orders on Manish Sisodia's bail plea in the money laundering case registered by the ED.

Judgement to be pronounced at 4pm by Judge MK Nagpal.

#RouseAvenueCourt #ManishSisodia #ED @dir_ed @AamAadmiParty Image
Sisodia has been behind bars since Feb 26 when he was arrested by the CBI.

He was subsequently arrested by the ED on allegations of money laundering.

On March 31, Sisodia's bail plea in the CBI case was rejected.
It is ED's case that Sisodia and other AAP leaders tweaked the excise policy to benefit certain traders. These traders in turn paid kickbacks to the AAP leader.

However, Sisodia's counsel have argued that the agencies have not been able to trace any money to him.
