Supreme Court hears a plea against illegal organ transplant
Justice Surya Kant : This is a medical issue how do we decide it
Dr S Ganpathy: Recently a few weeks back CJI while addressing Bar Association Amravati stated that not parliament but constitution was supreme and to uphold the same judiciary intervene. This is a case about brain death and the word is a misnomer and this is a term coined to get organs from those who are not dead..
Justice Kant: It's impossible for me to grasp this medical language.
Justice Kant: We may agree with you... But there is doctrine of separation of powers... How do we direct parliament ?
Justice Bagchi: Issue is legislative. Right to abort, is a legislative right. Passive euthanasia was recognised by this court. How can courts replace with something else when legislature takes irreversible cessation of brain activities as brain death.. how can we change it ?

Supreme Court hears plea concerning detention of Bengali-speaking Muslim migrant laborers, who were allegedly apprehended across several states under suspicion of being undocumented Bangladeshi nationals.
Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Joymalya Bagchi, and Vipul M Pancholi
Advocate Prashant Bhushan: notices have been served but no reply has been filed. One of the ladies who had been pushed out, her family had filed habeas corpus in the Calcutta HC. After notice was issued the ASG went and said to the HC matter is pending and got it adjourned. This lady has been pushed out forcibly from the country, she is pregnant without any proof that she is a foreigner. They are saying Bengali language is a Bangladeshi language. Therefore people speaking Bengali are Bangladeshis. How can any authority push out any person without any determination whether so and so is a foreigner? There should be some agreement with the Bangladeshi government. Normally one can’t push someone to another country without having an agreement with them. You can’t forcibly push to another country without the country accepting.

Justice AS Oka to speak shortly
Editor of the Book, Sr Adv Dr S Muralidhar: Earlier there was a court of virtual hearings, courts willing to adopt the technological mode...What I miss is a court with It's a more rushed court, more chaotic, more miscellaneous work and new players are law researchers and law interns. One law researcher was asked to draft two drafts of judgments one allowing and one dismissing the appeal... For Milord to choose from
Justice AS Oka: Cartoons speak more than the reading material in this book. Celebrations started after we completed 75 years of constitution.. for legal fraternity celebration was not required.. introspection was needed as to where the course correction was needed.
