#SupremeCourt hears plea challenging Bar Council of India hiking nomination fees for Bar Council elections.

Bench: Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi. Image
J Kant: BCI is saying it doesn't have enough money.

Counsel: They have enough money. I don't have a problem with high nomination fees but it should be connected with the stature of the lawyer
Counsel: from 9000 it goes straight to 1,25000. Somebody joining the profession and wanting to contest within 2-3 years will not be able to

J Kant: let them contest later. what is the tearing hurry for them to contest?
Counsel: I want to point out the two high courts are considering this issue. The committee of reforms headed by former judge said that this process should not become that somebody who has gotten deep pocket is able to contest and somebody who doesn't cannot.
Counsel: one can understand marginal increase but not from Rs. 9000 to Rs. 1,25000 or from 30000 to Rs. 1,25000 rupees
J Kant: we are not inclined

Counsel: then we will withdraw this petition as this issue is already pending before two High Courts. Kindly give us liberty to approach...

J Kant: there is no need for any liberty

Order: Counsel seeks and is permitted to withdraw the writ petition.

#SupremeCourt hears plea challenging Telangana HC order which stayed the govt decision to raise quota for Backward Classes in municipalities and panchayats to 42%, which pushed the total reservations in local bodies to 67%

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta Image
Sr Adv Dr AM Singhvi (for State): This Court did not fix a limit of 50% [on reservation]...let me show 1 paragraph of Indra Sawhney judgment

Sr Adv Gopal S (for respondents) objects: The GO increased reservation to 42%...taking total to more than 60%...CB judgment in Krishna Murthy specifically says 50%...Indra Sawhney dealt with socially backward classes etc., there you can.

#SupremeCourt #Telangana
For context, Krishna Murthy judgment held:

"The upper ceiling of 50% vertical reservations in favour of SCs/STs/OBCs should not be breached in the context of local self-government. Exceptions can only be made in order to safeguard the interests of the Scheduled Tribes in the matter of their representation in panchayats located in the Scheduled Areas."

J Surya Kant: Hon'ble CJI has been magnanimous...that shows the institution is not affected by these kind of incidentsImage
Singh: Lord Vishnu will not say you take to violence to do something like this...it's an insult to God also whom he has sought to...

J Kant: Violence can never be promoted. Just think, what will happen when you initiate this kind of proceedings? Social media, everything becomes a saleable item

Singh: Please consider John-Doe order

J Bagchi: It's for us and our behavior in courts that we survive. It's that spirit which Hon'ble CJI exhibited. Just washed it aside. You have come before us, our request is to consider whether against breaking up an issue which for us is complete, will it help giving opportunity to these chirping elements to go on?

#SupremeCourt
J Bagchi: Many important matters before us...will this not [waste time]

Singh: We are seeking restraint on glorifying of shoe-throwing

J Kant: The moment you take any action now it will become episode No.2.

#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

On Oct 9, the Court passed an interim order to ensure free legal aid for persons excluded from the final voters' list so they can file appeals against their exclusion

#BiharElection2025Image
Further, activist Yogendra Yadav urged the Court to direct ECI to disclose how many persons were found to be foreigners after the exercise

He said that the Court would be doing a "great service to the nation" by directing ECI to disclose the number of persons whose names have been deleted on ground that they were not citizens.

#SupremeCourt #BiharSIR
On Oct 7, the Court orally said that there was some confusion as to whether voters added in the final electoral list were from the list of voters who were previously deleted from the draft list or totally new names

Petitioners demanded that the ECI must publish the list of names of 3.66 lakh voters who were additionally deleted from the final list, and the names of the 21 lakh voters who were included in it.
