@lokmat अमेरिकेचं उदाहरण द्यायचं आणि मग semi conductor वगैरे वर चर्चा न करता परत तेच तेच मुद्दे उचलायचे. मग काही वर्षांनी राजकीय संन्यास घ्यायचा आणि मग परत अमेरिकेचं उदाहरण द्यायचं.

Two of these five who got designated by the Supreme Court in April 2015 have become judges. Mohana and I also became advocates on record together in 1996 and got chambers allotted in 2024. Delhi and the Supreme Court have been kind to me. When we started in the early 1990s, I for one did not know how long I would last out. Here's hoping for many more years of lawyering away.

@barandbench Commendable of TN Govt for notifying such posts. How it will pan out is different thing but empanelments work in not so transparent manner including no information about the process.

[Paras Nath Singh @parasnsingh95]

When Senior Advocate V. Mohana was called to take the oath as a judge of the Supreme Court of India, even Justice B. V. Nagarathna, who until a few minutes earlier had been the sole woman judge on the Bench, could not stop herself from applauding. The auditorium had already erupted in thunderous applause.

@TheAnilkumarG94 खात्रीने सांगतो कोणत्याही पक्षाचे आजच्या तरुण नेतृत्वामध्ये जे "प्रसिद्ध" अथवा "भावी पंतप्रधान" म्हणून चर्चेत आहेत ते कोणीही पंतप्रधान होणार नाहीत. भारताचा भावी पंतप्रधान कदाचित सक्रिय राजकारणात पण नसेल किंवा राजकीय पक्षात एक साधा कार्यकर्ता असेल.

भावी म्हणजे २० वर्षानंतर...

@sone_do_mujhe But Judges who presided are not collegium Judges...

மாண்பமை உச்ச நீதிமன்றத்தின் புதிய நீதிபதியாக  தமிழ்நாட்டின் கோயம்புத்தூர் மாவட்டத்தைச்  சேர்ந்த மூத்த வழக்கறிஞர் திருமதி வெங்கிட சுப்பிரமணி மோகனா அவர்கள் நியமனம் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளதை அறிந்து மிக்க மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தேன்.  

உச்ச நீதிமன்ற வரலாற்றில், மூத்த வழக்கறிஞராகப்பணியாற்றி நேரடியாக உச்ச நீதிமன்ற நீதிபதியாக நியமிக்கப்படும் இரண்டாவது பெண் என்ற பெருமையையும், தமிழ்நாட்டைச் சேர்ந்த முதல் பெண் என்ற பெருமையையும் இவர் பெற்றுள்ளார். திருமதி வெங்கிட சுப்பிரமணி மோகனா அவர்களின் நியமனம் பெண் கல்வி முன்னேற்றத்திற்கும் பொருளாதார முன்னேற்றத்திற்கும் உந்து சக்தியாகத் திகழும்.

மாண்பமை உச்ச நீதிமன்ற நீதிபதியாகப் பொறுப்பேற்கவிருக்கும்   அவர்களுக்கு என் சார்பிலும், தமிழ்நாடு அரசின் சார்பிலும், தமிழ்நாட்டு மக்களின் சார்பிலும் மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துகளைத் தெரிவித்துக்கொள்கிறேன்

@SaffronChargers And that is how capitalism works.

[Anuj Aggarwal @aggarwalatbar]

The pendency in the SC has little to do with vacations. Reasons: 1. Legislature drafts ambiguous laws; 2. SC admits too many cases with 2 days dedicated for admitting new matters; & 3. HCs are overburdened with bails/miscellaneous work & rarely engage with constitutional question

[Siddharth Chapalgaonkar @advsidchaps]

@SinghPratyush7 And when it comes to Supreme Court, it rarely exercises 136. But I feel it should stop exercising even in matters which it does. Let High Court view be final.

[Shilpa Godbole @godbole_shilpa]

PM Modi's #MannKiBaat came & went without a mention of the NEET, CBSE & CUET mess.
Let's not pretend this is beneath the Prime Minister's attention. We have seen the full communication apparatus mobilised over far smaller matters. Photo ops, speeches, tweets & inaugurations for projects of purely local significance.
When millions of students are affected, however, the country is expected to accept silence.
Strange priorities for a nation that calls its youth its greatest asset.

@RileeDHarrison And if it was 29 May 2026 Friday in Delhi, then mails received after 2 pm will be responded directly in July 2026!!!!!

@LiveLawIndia Why only POCSO? Even the allegations under DV/498-A are many times false.

@gajabhauX There is nothing wrong in enjoying at a place where they have actually gone for enjoyment.

[Siddharth Chapalgaonkar @advsidchaps]

@ThePuneMirror No doubt officers like him are required but other side is such officers never get posted to positions where execution of projects is required. Otherwise already delayed projects would be stalled because of various issues that they raise.

[Siddharth Chapalgaonkar @advsidchaps]

What is position regarding this for the Supreme Court ?
Any case laws, opinion please ?

[Bar and Bench @barandbench]
