Sometimes the king falls not to the distant enemy, but to the circle of his own pieces—those meant to guard him instead close every square of escape, until the quiet diagonal of fate delivers the final blow.
Surrounded by one’s own, the path dies.

It was absolutely unwarranted.
Not a good sign for Hindustan.
These political leaders should be held accountable for creating such situations.
What was the need for senior leaders to go to the Supreme Court?
What if next day Narendra Modi comes to the Court?
#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

I remember Justice Oka’s farewell speech, in which he acknowledged the sacrifices made by his family members. He remarked that one of the greatest sources of relief for him, as a judge, was that both his sons had chosen to stay away from the legal profession.

Ideally, Judges' Children Should Avoid Appointments As Lawyers Of Govt Or State Agencies : Justice Oka |@manuvichar
Justice SC Sharma should have disclosed, at the outset of hearing the CEC case, that his son was ECI's lawyer, Justice Oka said.

Supreme Court Justice Dipankar Datta opens judgment with a poignant note for his late law clerk Ritwik Deswal, who died four days before his 27th birthday:
The order is in memoriam. Human life is fragile, yet in the ordinary course of living, we seldom pause to recognize just how fleeting it is. And when life finally confronts us with that fragility, the realization often comes too late. On that note, at the very outset, we begin on an unconventional premise. One of our dearest law clerks, cum research associates, Ritwik Deswal, left for his heavenly abode, four days short of his 27th birthday, which happens to be today. As we pronounce this judgment, which bears the quiet and indelible imprint of his final labors, we hasten to record our deep appreciation for the invaluable research assistance rendered by him in the build-up to the preparation of this judgment. His untimely demise has left an excruciatingly deep void in our lives. Even in his final hours, his thoughts remained firmly anchored in the pursuit of truth and the service of justice. It is therefore with profound personal sorrow and grief that we dedicate this final collaboration to his memory, his integrity, his indomitable commitment to the law, his love for academia, and his other great qualities of head and heart.
@Mukesh_Journo सत्ता की मलाई खाते हुए बड़ी बड़ी डींगे हांकना कोई इनसे सीखे। PR मैनेजमेंट ऐसा कि बिहार राजनीति के इकलौते युवा सितारा हों लेकिन जब बिहार के युवा के लिए कुछ करने की बात हो, तो ये भाई साहब और इनके पार्टी के नेता सम्पूर्ण रूप से "निष्क्रिय" हो जाते हैं।
Lawyers Association For Constitution demands that the #SupremeCourt's orders referring the CEC Act challenge to the Constitution Bench, as well as giving interim relief to Noida DM Medha Roopam, be recalled in the light of reports that Justice Satish Chandra Sharma's son is a standing counsel for the Election Commission of India.
The Association demands that the matters be heard afresh by a bench in which Justice Sharma is not a member.
The Association also suggests a transparent protocol for disclosure by judges regarding any engagement of their close relatives by parties in the contest.
“Disingenuous, Evasive and Disquieting.”

#SupremeCourt cites example of Dry State Gujarat !
Justice Sharma at Rajasthan claims closeness with the CJI.
Justice Mehta wrote letters on Aug 2, Aug 10 and Aug 17, 2026 to the CJI flagging the issue.
No action on these letters.
Now, the letters are accessible by the Bar & Bench.
Perhaps corruption in judiciary is new normal.

The Cockroach Janta Party calls for a peaceful protest march at India Gate, New Delhi on September 5.
The National Working Committee expressed serious doubts over whether the Government of India intends to honour its commitments made to the young generation on July 25.
Therefore, a peaceful protest march is called for which will start at the India Gate all the way till the new Delhi Police Headquarters. The protest will be led by the families of the NEET students who died by suicide and victims of July 20 police brutality.
We will not accept this vishwasghaat with Gen Z, the young protesters, and the families of those who died.
September 5. India Gate.
The young will gather again.🪳✊🏻

"Experience at the Bar is essential for students right out of college; steeped in academics, who should have a feel of the affairs of man and the travails of a litigant, before deciding their destinies."
