Appeared for the state.

I pay homage to former PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Ji on his death anniversary.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Agree with Rakesh Verma Ji. We aim to make India a Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub, not just for domestic consumption but for the entire world.

@CiteCase Differentiate between litigation and corporate lawyers. Corporate work can be ‘service’.

Litigation is different. Lawyers assist the courts. Justice is an essential state function. Negligence of a lawyer also reflects poorly on a Judge. Can courts be service providers?

@indiankanoon Many congratulations! 🥳
Life without Indian Kanoon would be unimaginable.
Thank you for your service 🙏🏽

@CiteCase I think the idea is to reduce the massive administrative burden of the CJI and collegium. Worth considering

[CiteCase 🇮🇳 @CiteCase]

What are principles applicable to the interpretation of a taxing statute?

#SupremeCourt explained it today in Modi Naturals Ltd vs Commissioner of Commercial Tax UP

Why don't they make "The Sam Bahadur" type anymore?

The man was neither a diplomat nor a politician but a true leader.

@DuttShekhar Anxiety levels go through the roof!

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

More pride for India!

The magnificent Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas have been inscribed on the @UNESCO World Heritage List. The timeless beauty and intricate details of the Hoysala temples are a testament to India's rich cultural heritage and the exceptional craftsmanship of our ancestors.

@CiteCase @Swamy39 RTI exempts disclosure of info relating to security, sovereignty, foreign relations.

This will likely be a 19(1)(a) r/w preamble r/w Article 1 r/w 21 petition😓

Either it’ll get dismissed or another sealed cover is coming….

@CiteCase Elaborate discussion on similar questions of law in Shah Faesal Vs UOI

[CiteCase 🇮🇳 @CiteCase]

We have glanced through all the Bills viz. Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, which are going to replace Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act.

The following is our view on these Bills. People reading this post may have a different view and we request them to share their views with us.

1️⃣ What is in a name?

We understand that this is for the first time a central law is going to have a purely non-English name. It is true that some laws have Hindi/Sanskrit terms in it, but all of them end with the term Act or Code, which is an English term. For example Grama Nyayalayas Act,Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, etc. But as per these Bills, short titles are in Hindi/Sanskrit.

Even though we don't endorse the narrative that a purely non English names of the Bills/Acts are in violation of Article 348 of the Constitution, we are of the view that these names needs a review. This is for the following reasons:

▶️Non Hindi speaking citizens/lawyers will feel that the Government is imposing Hindi/Sanskrit on them and that may give rise to unnecessary controversies. We have ourselves spoken to a few Non- Hindi speaking lawyers who feel difficulty in even pronouncing these names.

▶️It is usual practice among lawyers and judges to use abbreviations of the law names, like IPC, CrPC etc. Abbreviations of these Sanhitas will be BNS and BNSS, which sounds similar and thus may create confusion and discomfort.

▶️Wonder why should a law which is fully in English have a non-English name? Thus it is better to give an English name and if there's a translated version of the law, these names can be given to it.

Therefore, we urge PM @narendramodi and HM @AmitShah to consider the above concerns before proceeding in this matter.

@LiveLawIndia The petitioner’s side he meant

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

"I am addressing you as the President of India because Dr. Ambedkar made it possible for someone like me to reach where I am today."

- President of India

@atishmathur Petitioners will have to demonstrate beyond doubt that the nature of CSAT is such that it, albeit unintentionally, favors one class of candidates over others to warrant any interference.

A test cannot be assailed merely for being too difficult.

Best wishes to the candidates.

[Maanvi @Maanvi2501]

The Zomato ad with Kachra from "Lagaan" is unacceptable in its ignorance. To use a Dalit character and show him as a stand-in for furniture (!) in a country where as recently as 2022 a Dalit child was killed for drinking water from a pot meant for upper-castes, is just egregious.

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

Hindus of India practice the disease of casteism, Untouchability and discrimination even after going abroad, that is why anti-casteism laws are being made all over the world, congratulations to California for passing the anti-caste bill with a majority (34-1).
