We are making us a laughing stock of the world. Why does a CJI accept a random invitation from an “organiser” for a London talk on AI? It’s not the university or the government but some student society. I saw the hall. It was sparsely attended. The questioner had an agenda. Perhaps Tau was set up. The best thing would be to ignore this and learn lessons not to crave for free foreign trips.

Our little Himalayan tiger

[Hemani Bhandari @HemaniBhandari]

Mohammed Riyazuddin, 61, a mattress shop owner who gave all his mattresses and bedsheets away in the rescue operation during the deadly blaze killing 21 people.
His quick thinking and courage saved many lives. "Aaj sab kuch de dijiye humne," he told @htTweets

You can cage a singer but not the song. 🫰♥️

[Kaushik Raj @kaushikrj6]

Umar Khalid returned to Tihar today after 3 days of interim bail for his mother's surgery. Look at the message on his t-shirt! His ideas can never be caged.

After 5+ years, the Supreme Court finally has a woman judge again. Senior Advocate V. Mohana becomes only the 2nd woman lawyer ever directly elevated from the Bar to the Bench — following Justice Indu Malhotra. This is historic.

Finally, the glass ceiling cracks a little more.

[Areeb Uddin @legallyuddin]

I know one of them deserved it.

No docket, no drama — just this temprature and these hills. Court vacations are in order, and so is my cup of chai.

A rare frame: Bashir Badr sahab, young, holding his AMU degree.

We watched the last star fall from the sky.

But his verses and sher(s) will remain
unburied, undimmed, eternal.

Jee rahega woh, har sher mein.

[Areeb Uddin @legallyuddin]

After days of feeling like a tandoor, Delhi finally remembered what sky-water looks like.

And @sanjayuvacha's terrace is serving up the best monsoon cinema in town. No ticket required.

[Areeb Uddin @legallyuddin]

Rest in Peace, Bashir Badr sahab.
With his passing, it truly feels as though one of the last shining stars of the world of shayari has faded into eternity.

His poetry will continue to echo in our collective memory forever.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

[Areeb Uddin @legallyuddin]

Eid Mubarak to everyone! 🫰❤️

[Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0 @DrNimoYadav]

Modi said, “Don’t travel, don’t waste fuel,” yet blud flew from Dubai to India just to eat a ₹1 Melody.

He is the perfect example of a low IQ Modi bhakt 😭

[sanjoy ghose @advsanjoy]

Judges and lawyers together make the Bar and the Bench. Why book releases alone? Judges and lawyers also attend each other’s functions like children’s marriages and retirement or elevation or designation parties. The test is to still remain independent despite doing so. It’s impractical to enforce such artificial separations!

[Abhishek Baxi @baxiabhishek]

But Didi was the dictator?

[The Quint @TheQuint]

While the Bench made a genuine effort to bring clarity to a centuries-old dispute, the resulting order—which directs the allotment of alternative land to the Muslim community—may be seen as a judicial re-characterisation of history rather than a neutral adjudication of existing legal rights. @legallyuddin writes.

My recent article on the Bhojshala ruling

[The Quint @TheQuint]

The Bhojshala Ruling Raises a Larger Question: Can Courts Reinterpret History?

@legallyuddin argues that it's striking that the order never engages with the most obvious constitutional problem it creates. READ: https://t.co/9s2MUHC3lU

'When it comes to women, they are long honoured when in death - we're somehow very concerned about women after they die. '
