Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi

In May, the Court had passed an interim order for holding of the local body elections, which were stalled since 2022 due to litigation relating to implementation of reservation for OBCsImage
J Kant: Have the elections been conducted? Order was passed in May, elections were to be conducted in 4 months (by Sept end)

Maharashtra counsel: Process is underway...delimitation done...State Election Commission seeking some extension...an interim application has been filed

J Kant: Why should we grant you time till January?

A counsel: There are 29 municipal corporations...for the first time, elections being done simultaneously

J Kant: Your inaction speaks of incompetence...tell us verbally the reasons

Counsel: We have 65000 EVM machines, require 50000 more...we have placed orders.

#SupremeCourt
J Kant: This was known to you even when we passed the first order

Petitioners: Within 2 weeks, they had to notify...they are now doing everything afresh...delimitation also not finalized in several cases...reasons are festivals, board exams, staff and EVMs not available...requirement of returning officers at polling stations...in Punjab, this Court directed and elections were held immediately.

#SupremeCourt hears PIL filed by the mothers of Rohit Vemula and Payal Tadvi assailing caste discrimination in higher educational institutions (HEIs)

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi Image
SG Tushar Mehta: 391 suggestions received after publishing of draft regulations…expert committee has said that suggestions need to be examined and accordingly, draft regulations need to be amended

J Kant: There are some very good suggestions…1 or 2 may be problematic

SG: Some suggestions found favorable by the Committee…report filed to UGC, matter pending at that level.

#SupremeCourt #CasteDiscrimination
Sr Adv Indira Jaising (for petitioners): This was filed in 2019…much water has flown under the bridge…many people have committed suicide even after filing of the petition…draft regulations have been published, we gave suggestions…2 coordinate benches of this court have tried to address the issues…we are interested in preventing student suicides...we came to court with a simple grievance that regulations were not being implemented...

J Kant: I read your note...I understand there are 10 points...protection of complainants, mental health counselling, personal liability for negligence, audits, action for non-compliance, etc...our proposal is now that matter is pending with UGC, we direct today that these points be also considered for incorporation in the proposed regulations

Jaising: Grateful. But a time limit may be imposed.

#BiharSIR: #SupremeCourt to hear today the pleas challenging Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of Bihar's electoral rolls

Bench: Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi

A plea seeking nationwide SIR across India also listed before the bench

Previously, Court directed that Aadhaar Card be accepted as a '12th document' for proof of identity of voters, subject to verification of its genuineness and without it serving as a proof of citizenship

ECI filed an affidavit stating that it has issued communications to Chief Electoral Officers of all States/UTs, except Bihar, to initiate preparatory steps for SIR of electoral rolls and 01.01.2026 has been set as the qualifying dateImage
Adv Ashwini Upadhyay (who has filed the petition seeking nationwide SIR) mentions an application seeking modification of the Court's earlier order on acceptability of Aadhaar

Upadhyay: I wish to bring on record addl documents...it may be taken on record for today's hearing...there are 6 judgments that Aadhaar is neither age proof nor residence proof...

J Kant says judgments can be shown at the time of hearing.

#SupremeCourt #BiharSIR
J Kant: Mr Dwivedi (for ECI), what's the current status? Should we not wait for actual assessment as to how many individuals left out?

Sr Adv Gopal Sankaranarayanan: EC is moving ahead as far as other states are concerned

J Kant: How can we stop? If other states have filed petitions, ofcourse they will be heard

Gopal S: Just give us a date on which legal issue will be taken up.
