The plea seeks the court's direction to the Election Commission and the Centre to ensure that voters are able to verify through VVPATs that their vote has been "counted as recorded" #EVM Adv Nizamuddin Pasha makes submissions: voter secrecy is not compromised at any stage..also the my right to secrecy cannot..

I hope you understand what you are arguing and the practical results of it

Pasha: milord..

SC: if you still argue then fine..the last slip will always be at the bottom.. do not take more time..

Pasha: it is the rights context in which this debate lies..

SC: you have applied the doctrine of proportionality

Pasha: yes fundamental right to know for whom vote is casted, right to free and fair election etc.. these are all rights of voters and it does not affect somebody else

SC: Tell us which are the four prongs of doctrine of proportionality

Pasha: the doctrine comes when there are two conflicting rights.. i am a stage anterior to this..

SC: all fundamental rights can be curtailed on the basis of certain exceptions..

Calcutta High Court bench led by Justice Joymalya Bagchi pulls up a junior advocate for coming to the court without the case papers and seeking an adjournment, in an alleged rape case.

Jr Adv: I am extremely sorry Milords.

J Bagchi: What sorry? Just write a letter to your client both you and your senior saying that the Judge was inclined to grant bail but because we were not prepared, you (accused) were not released on bail today. Please write that letter.

#CalcuttaHighCourt J Bagchi: Henceforth, do not come to this court or rather any court without the case papers. And don't say sorry to us. Me and my brother judge aren't in jail. But someone, presumably who has given valuable consideration to you and your senior is in jail. And the trust reposed in you and your senior is being betrayed here. That is the first lesson you learn as a junior. Never betray the client.

Delhi court rejects Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea to allow him to meet his legal team 5 times a week instead of just 2 meetings as granted currently.

Court says Kejriwal used his legal meets to dictate certain directions to be passed to Delhi Water Minister through counsel.

@AamAadmiParty @dir_ed #ArvindKejiwal "The Applicant has failed to satisfy this court that he has been
using the two permitted legal meetings per week solely for
the purpose of discussing the pending litigations with his
counsels.   The status report/note filed by the Investigating
Agency   indicates   that   the   Applicant   had   dictated   certain
directions for being passed on to the Water Minister, to one
of his lawyers (whose name he refused to disclose to the
Investigating Agency) during the course of a legal meeting," the Court said in its order.

Supreme Court says it will "rip apart" State of Uttarakhand for sitting over misleading ads by Patanjali

Read key pointers from hearing here:

⚠️ Affidavits by Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna sent to media first and then the court

⚠️ Apology by Baba Ramdev not accepted, it is wilful disobedience of court

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia @yogrishiramdev @PypAyurved #Patanjali ⚠️ State of Uttarakhand licensing authority officers should be suspended right now

⚠️ SC says it will rip apart State licensing authority if bona fide argument is cited

⚠️ state kept eyes shut deliberately

⚠️ Patanjali waived thumb under nose of state authority and state kept mum

⚠️ Mockery of Supreme Court being made, SC judges are not in ivory towers

Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna will again be physically present before Supreme Court today as it continues hearing case concerning misleading ads by Patanjali.

#SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtOfIndia @yogrishiramdev @PypAyurved #Patanjali The duo and Patanjali Ayurved recently tendered a fresh apology in the matter.
