My absolute solidarity with every member of the Bar, whether SCBA, DHCBA or district bars. Designated or not.
The CJI intervened and even agreed to a Sunday hearing instead of waiting until Monday. That deserves appreciation.
But let’s ask ourselves something.
When an advocate joins a protest as a citizen, does his enrolment certificate exempt him from a lawful Section 163 BNSS order? Do we expect the police to first ask whether someone is an advocate or a Senior Advocate before taking action?
Wouldn’t that itself raise an Article 14 issue?
If an advocate knowingly breaks the law, why should he expect preferential treatment? Of course, no violation justifies police excess.
And tomorrow, if an ordinary citizen challenges such preferential treatment before a court, how would we defend it?
We must stand together against police excess, but can we demand equality before the law while expecting special treatment for ourselves?
Senior Journalist Sushant Sinha explains the toxic work culture in Banks. Branches have increased, Business has increased, Profit has increased but manpower Decreased.
Took last two days off to open a bank account in son’s name. Visited 4 different Public Sector Banks.
2 refused to open a bank account for a 8 month’s old. 1 said they will open only for baby girl (apparently because of some investment scheme). Another made me wait for 40 minutes yesterday to ask me to come today. After making me wait for 20 or so minutes asked me to come at 3:00 pm. I didnt go.
Going with private bank. They will come home to do the formalities.
My first choice was Public Sector Bank but there is a limit to my patience.
Imagine someone in the private earning ₹2 lakhs a month. Sounds like a good salary, right? That’s ₹24 lpa.
He pays around ₹4 lakhs in ITR, plus indirect taxes on everything he buys. Add EMIs, rent, bills, and daily expenses, how much can he realistically save? Maybe ₹3–6 lakhs a year. To save ₹2 crores, he’d need to work for 20–30 years.
Now consider this: ₹2 crores, that’s the bribe an IRS officer demanded from a business to settle just one case. One case. What could be a person’s lifetime savings is another man’s bribe from just one case! Imagine what he’ll accumulate over a lifetime if not caught. Multiply that by lakhs of govt employees, bureaucrats, politicians, judges. Not saying all are corrupt, but even if 20% are, the scale of money hoarded is unimaginable.
And yet, somehow, India continues to move forward. How we’re progressing despite this deeply institutionalised corruption is nothing short of a miracle.

कुछ लोग #Dayalbagh#Radhasoami मत के आचार्यों की छवि पर निंदनीय टिपण्णी कर रहे हैं।आपकी प्रवृति है और आपका मुख है, ज़हर उगलो या अमृत!
मेरे जीवन काल में दयालबाग़ में तीन आचार्य हुए हैं। आपको मैं पहले परम पूज्य लाल साहब के दुनियावी जीवन से अवगत कराता हूँ।
राधास्वामी मत के माननेवाले सम्पूर्ण विश्व में अपने अध्यात्म, प्रेम, करूणा और सत्संग के लिए अनुकरणीय हैं। दयालबाग सदैव से आस्था, सौहार्द, सेवा और शिक्षा का प्रतीक रहा है। दयालबाग की ज़मीन पर अब सत्ताधारी और पुलिस-प्रशासन मिलकर भाजपाई भू-माफ़ियों की स्वार्थ सिद्धि में लग गये हैं।
ये सत्संग की महान भारतीय परम्परा पर घातक प्रहार है, जिसका आस्थावान और शांतिप्रिय राधास्वामी मतावलंबी पुरज़ोर तरीक़े से विरोध कर रहे हैं। इस अन्याय के विरोध में समाजवादी पार्टी राधास्वामी सत्संग के साथ खड़ी है और दयालबाग को बचाने की मुहिम में हर तरह से साथ है।
भाजपा का धर्म-विरोधी बुलडोज़र जनता नहीं सहेगी।
The double standard for husbands and wives in India (Part 1)
Marriage falls apart. Wife moves out.
She seeks interim maintenance under:
1. Domestic Violence Act
2. Section 125 CrPC
3. Applicable divorce law
Interim maintenance is fixed on the basis of income, assets, expenses and liabilities of the parties.
As a legal strategy, both sides conceal their incomes.
To prevent this, the Supreme Court in 2020 in the judgment of Rajnesh Versus Neha, mandated the filing of Income Affidavit by both parties.
Even after the judgment, as a legal strategy, both sides try their best to delay filing of the Income Affidavit for as long as possible.
Now here is the double standard.
If the wife doesn't file her Income Affidavit, her case is not dismissed.
The court is happy to presume that she is not lying about her being completely broke. The court is happy to proceed to arguments on interim maintenance.
On the other hand, if the husband does not file his Income Affidavit on time, the court says that it has no other option but to believe the hyper inflated figures of husband's earnings.
The court then fixes atrociously large sums of interim maintenance.
Appellate courts are also reluctant in reducing the amount.
"Why should we interfere? It is the husband's duty to beg, borrow or steal to provide for his wife"
I've seen husbands who actually earn Rs. 50,000 per month, being directed to pay to the wife Rs. 50,000 per month!
The entirety of his salary, sometimes even more, to the wife.
What can a husband do to tackle this?
4 steps:
1. File application seeking court orders directing the wife to file her Income Affidavit.
2. When she does file an incomplete Income Affidavit, without the mandatory accompanying bank statements and ITR, file an application seeking court orders directing her to file all the documents.
3. When she does file these documents, move Application under Section 340 CrPC for punishment of the Wife for perjury.
Even when you file this Application, most times the court will say we will decide this application at a later stage (that later stage never really comes). Therefore you must also-
4. File Application for disposal of the Application under Section 340 CrPC before Interim Maintenance is decided.
The issue of #samesexmarriage highly-sensitive and engineered by a select few: @barcouncilindia passes Resolution
'Any decision by the #SupremeCourt may prove very harmful for future generations. It would be catastrophic for the court to overhaul the conception of marriage'
For the Chief Justice to confuse gender with sex and claim there is no such thing as an absolute concept of a biological man, is not only anti-science, it is dangerous if applied to the fields of medicine and forensics. He/She/It must come clean and apologise.
My views:
@_shrayanshsingh Thank you for your reply, sir. My query is can we make the public at large a defendant in the S.34 suit? We do not intend to make a Pvt body a party to the suit for some reason. Is it mandatory that a declaration can only be given against contesting parties only?
