#SupremeCourt calls for a report by IIT Roorkee on whether two heritage buildings - the 19th century Devaraja Market Building and Landsowne Building in Mysuru can be preserved with repairs/renovation.
IIT Roorkee to file a report in sealed cover.
A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Sandeep Mehta passed the order in a plea against Karnataka authorities' decision to demolish and reconstruct the buildings with the same facade.
The Court took note of INTACH report that opined that the preservation of the buildings is possible with renovation and repairs.
Court: Prima facie, if it is possible to preserve the two structures as they are with some repairs/renovation then they should be preserved.
Court: although there is one report of INTACH as an expert body, we would still like to call for one other report from IIT Roorkee.

ACJ: But why are you sitting there? Can u camp there? You were given permission only for 24 hours but you have continued to be there. Why can't you go to some other place ?
Maneshinde: I cannot change the site now Milords. It would not be possible to take these 5k people together at some other place now.

ACJ: With what authority are you sitting there? You cannot change the court's order by continuing to sit there...
Maneshinde: But some solution is likely to come out...
ACJ: But can there be a solution with you sitting there along with your 5k persons? You will have to ask all your 5,000 persons to leave they cannot be staying or camping there with you.

#BombayHighCourt #MarathaReservation
ACJ: These protestors are violators (of Permission to protest) and thus cannot continue at the site any further... They cannot illegally occupy the site now... They must leave immediately else we will pass appropriate orders.
Senior Advocate Satish Maneshinde for Jarange and other organisers, tenders an apology for the inconvenience caused by the protestors on the streets of Mumbai.
Maneshinde: I would also like to point out the poor facilities for drinking, parking etc made available by the State. I had called upon the State and intimidated them about the protests, at least 4 months now but yet they did not make any proper arrangements.
#SupremeCourt constitution bench to continue hearing today Presidential Reference by #President Droupadi Murmu(@rashtrapatibhvn) on 14 questions on the power to #assent on Bills, including whether Court can fix timelines for the President/Governor to decide on Bills.
Those opposing reference will continue their arguments today.
@rashtrapatibhvn On last occasion, Senior Advocate Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) began his arguments.
SG Mehta: If my learned friend is going to rely on Andhra Pradesh etc as examples, we want to file a reply how since Independence the Constitution was taken on ride...
CJI: answer the legal issues, we don't want to know what happened here and there
Singhvi: withholding assent simpliciter which otherwise colloquially we are calling it as 'falling through'. Six bullets 1. falling through not independent argument- is there a category of simplicter withholding? 2. falling through occurs unless first proviso is completed is what the two judgment means- it occurs only when entire first proviso is not followed 3. first proviso is complete code in itself and it involves compositevely and telescopely the following steps-withholding and returning back is one composite step-reconsideration by house is step two, repassing by the legislature is the third step, and returning to Governor. 4. Assembly may not want to send it back, may not want to pass it, may change policy- it naturally falls through 5. All judgments by Mr Mehta is not falling through but that unless the first proviso is followed.
#SupremeCourt hears SLP against Bombay High Court judgement dismissing a challenge by Colaba residents to the construction of a Jetty facility in South Mumbai, near the Taj Mahal Hotel and Gateway of India.
Bench: Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran.
Senior Advocate CU Singh: We are not against decongestion. But just shifting it 250 metres...
CJI: Do we possess the expertise to say that?
Singh: Actual body which should be consulted is not consulted. Either the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority or the Central
Counsel: The entire reason is that they want to decongest the Gateway of India. You are proposing to make 5 jetties 20. You are just shifting the same thing to just 250 metres on the same road
