#SupremeCourt hears plea seeking court monitored investigation into audio recordings allegedly implicating former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh in the state's ethnic violence.

Bench: Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice Alok Aradhe. Image
NFSU Gandhinagar earlier informed the Court that the audio exhibits were tampered with and not scientifically fit for voice comparison, and therefore, no opinion on similarity or dissimilarity of the speakers could be offered.

The petitioner has contended that the Manipur police forwarded only short edited clips to the NFSU, Gandhinagar instead of the complete 48 minute recording.
livelaw.in/top-stories/su…
Counsel for state seeks time to seek instructions.

Bench: If you did not forward entire recording then...
Advocate Prashant Bhushan: this matter has been listed on 10 occasions and government counsel has appeared every time. They are aware that in our petition itself we have placed the transcript of the 48 minute conversation on record and supplied the tape.
ASG Aishwarya Bhati: we got the full recording only after the last hearing. This was never served upon us. We kept on asking everyone.

Bhushan: They could have asked us, they appeared on 10 occasions before the court.
Bench: Why didn't you serve?

Bhushan: Formal notice was not there.

Bench: Now you send the entire recording.

Bhati: No difficulty.
Order: The entire 48 minutes of the conversation in question along with the admitted voice recordings of the former Manipur CM are available.
All the voice recordings furnished to the respondents by the learned counsel for the petitioner shall also be included therewith and forwarded to the National Forensic Science University Gandhinagar.
Order: NFSU to expedite the process and submit the report to this court in sealed cover.

#SupremeCourt to continue hearing today at 10.30 AM the #StrayDogs case

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria

Yesterday, the matter was heard extensively, with the Bench primarily examining the issue of stray dogs in institutional premises

It was questioned whether spaces such as courts, schools and hospitals should have canine presence at all

"Should people suffer because of the authorities' failure to comply with the ABC rules?" the Court askedImage
Link to a report on yesterday's hearing:

#SupremeCourt #StrayDogs

livelaw.in/top-stories/su…
Amicus Sr Adv Gaurav Aggarwal: Remaining 4 states have now filed their affidavits. 16 states are done, 7 are left. I will submit revised note

Sr Adv CU Singh: With regard to SOP of Animal Welfare Board, 4 big states have filed formal objections. It might be of relevance. Amicus may confirm...In Delhi, there is rodent and monkey menace also. What happens when there's abrupt removal of canines - rodent population shoot up. They are disease carriers. Canines maintain balance

J Mehta: Is there a correlation? In a lighter vein, dogs and cats are enemies. We should promote more cats, since they are enemies of rodents. We have not directed removal of every dog from street. They have to be treated as per rules

Singh: Let dogs be regulated in manner which has proved efficacious - sterilization and re-release in same area

J Mehta: How many dogs each hospital should have, tell us? beside each bed?

Bench: Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma

Yesterday, the Court was informed that the motion for impeachment was rejected by Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.Image
For yesterday's proceedings, this thread can be followed:
Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra for Justice Varma: we have two similar worded proceedings before two co equal branches of the Parliament - the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Same allegations same facts. The question is whether they can meet different fates. In one house fine but the moment they are in both houses...

#SupremeCourt to hear today the #StrayDogs case at 10.30 AM

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria

On the last date, the bench got cancelled. When Sr Adv Kapil Sibal sought an early hearing, saying the ongoing treatment of dogs at ground level was “very inhumane”, J Mehta expressed that the Court will "play a video (during the next hearing) and ask what is humanity"Image
On November 7, the Court directed removal of #StrayDogs from institutional premises such as schools, hospitals, sports complexes, bus stands and railway stations, and their relocation to designated shelters after due sterilization and vaccination

It also directed that dogs picked up from such places should not be released back at the same location.

#SupremeCourt
J Nath: We will hear everyone today. We will hear the victims, then the haters and the lovers both

SG Tushar Mehta: There are those who appear for dogs, and those who appear for humans

Sr Adv Gaurav Aggarwal (Amicus): In November, Animal Welfare Board was to frame SOP. They have done so and circulated. All stray animals from national highways, etc. were to be removed, to avoid accidents. NHAI was to have SOP. It has identified vulnerable stretches vulnerable to animal access. It takes after identifying, state govts have to take steps

J Nath: But they could do fencing

J Mehta: That's happening on super expressways. In last 20 days, there have been 2 incidents involving Rajasthan HC judges. One judge is still suffering from serious issues!

#SupremeCourt to continue hearing a writ petition filed by Justice Yashwant Varma challenging the legality of the Parliamentary Committee under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, for inquiry over the discovery of unaccounted cash currencies at his official residence.

Bench: Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra SharmaImage
Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi: one reply filed by Lok Sabha and letter issued to us by Rajya Sabha we have placed on record. Under Article 124(5), for a removal of judge, we have to follow the procedure established by 1968 Judges Inquiry Act- motion moved by 50MPs in RS/100 in Lok Sabha for removal of judge. 50 MPs will sign the motion. It can be a simple letter signed by 50 MPs or 100 MPs that he should be impeached.

Once motion is admitted, committee is formed and then it proceed like a departmental inquiry. Once report is given, the House debates. One peculiarity- once motion is moved in both houses on the same day- 21 July- two motions were moved in both houses seeking impeachment. Once motion is moved in both Houses on same day, this pecularity- the fulcrum of this case is-please come to judges inquiry act.
Rohatgi: see definitions under the judges inquiry act. If notice is given of motion for representing it to the president for removal of the judge, and when signed by 100 MPs in LS and 50 in RS, the chairman and speaker may consult and either admit or refuse- the speaker is in the position to admit or not to admit, he has to take a call.

we are concerned with provisio- when notice is given on the same day-peremtory negative language is used that 'unless' it is admitted in both houses, the committee can't be formed- it talks about a situation when two motions are simulatenously moved, no committee shall be form or in other words the committee shall be formed only when the motion is admitted by both Houses.

In this case, the affidavit filed by LS says that the deputy chairman of RS rejected the motion on 11 August. The chairman had resigned when the motion was moved.

first submission is- if motions are not admitted by two Houses, the committee can't be formed

J Datta: when committee formed?

Rohatgi: 12 august

J Datta: after rejection

#SupremeCourt will soon hear the pleas challenging the SIR process by the ECI across various states

Bench : CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi Image
Sr Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi for ECI makes his submissions
Dwivedi : is article 324 completely displaced? or it is a question to be examined on the basis of cases to case...in particular cases this court may come to a conclusion that the Parliament has not closed the doors entirely , assuming that Parliament has laid down something, the question is how much does it cover the field
