BC COURT
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI SA Bobde will shortly consider today a batch of PILs seeking removal of farmers protesting at Delhi borders against farm laws.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020

 Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta submits that he has received a message from Sr. Adv. Harish Salve to be unmuted.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Why are you commenting on the Courtmaster ? We are asking is Mr. Salve appearing in the matter.

SG: I just received a message.

CJI: We don’t have any information of him appearing.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Adv. Dushyant Tiwari begins submissions: You have already passed a judgement in the Amit Sahni case (Shaheen Bagh judgement). Please look at Para 19.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
SG once again requests the Court to unmute Salve.

Courtmaster informs CJI that no AOR has informed of Salve’s appearance.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
There seems to be confusion pertaining to Salve’s appearance as the Courtmaster states that no information regarding his appearance has been given for the current matters.

Tiwari continues his submissions.
Tiwari: Petitioner is not a farmer, he’s a law student.

CJI: This is such an important matter. Why can’t you argue it properly ? We are asking, what is your standing, your issues and your prayer.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
SG interrupts the proceeding: I apologise. Mr. Salve has sent another message, seeking to assist in the current matter. He says that he has a similar case.

CJI: Please don’t interrupt us, there’s no case of Salve before us.
CJI: If there is any case, we will hear him. But, he has no case before us.

Om Prakash Parihar makes submissions now.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Parihar compares the situation in Shaheen Bagh and the Farmer’s protests.

CJI: How many people had blocked the road there ? Will the number of people not determine this ? Who will take responsibility ? There can be no precedent in law and order situation.
Adv. Reepak Kansal now appears.

CJI asks the Petitioners if the organisations have been added. Parihar responds that there is no information of the organisations.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Check the newspaper reports, the organisations are present.

Parihar: Then the Court will say that we are relying on newspaper reports and dismiss this.

CJI: You should be assisting the Court. Don’t unnecessarily argue with us.
Kansal submits that there should be a balance: There is no free movement. Ambulances cannot go. This a violation of Article 19(1)(a),(b) and (c).

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Adv. GS Mani makes submissions and he states that he has land in Tamil Nadu, and that he is aware of the farmers’ pain as he himself has cultivated land when he goes there.

“I don’t know if this is the farmer’s fault or the government’s fault”.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt
CJI: Will you keep quiet and listen ? You say that you know the pain of the farmers of Punjab and Haryana because you have land in Tamil Nadu ? What do you know ?

Mani submits that he knows the pain of protesting in the peak cold.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Mani: My prayer is to ensure fundamental rights are available to the fellow farmers. That they are provided basic amenities.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Mr. SG, we see that the petitions are ill-conceived and there are no legal issues before us. The only party before us who has blocked the road is you.

SG: I have not blocked the road.
CJI: No, no, no. Who has blocked the road ?

SG: The farmers are protesting and roads have been blocked by Delhi Police.

CJI: So, the only party who is actually on ground is you.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Who are the parties who are heading the protests ?

SG: Bhartiya Kisan Union. The government will not do anything against the interest of farmers. Sit with the government clause by clause, then there can be a discussion or debate with an open mind.
CJI: Your negotiation does not work apparently. You should be willing to negotiate and we should have a farmer before us who is also willing to negotiate ! Give us the name of the Union.

SG: I can give you the name within ten minutes. Immediately I can think of Bhartiya Kisan.
CJI tells Parihar that liberty will be given to him to join the party.

Adv. Rahul Mehra, GNCTD appears: No efforts have been made to check the veracity of the claims of the Petitioners and to show the authenticity.
Mehra: They are in severe winters. They are here because of compulsion. This is not out of choice.

SG: He seems to be appearing for some farmer organisation.

Mehra: I can also say that you are appearing for something else.
CJI: There is only the difference of one letter in your surnames - Mehra and Mehta. Whatever you want to say, say it to each other outside of court.

SG: Yes, we will talk over call.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Supreme Court informs the SG that tentatively a Committee will be formed with members of all farmers organisations from the rest of India.

“Otherwise this will soon become a national issue. It seems government may not be able to work out”.
Bench: Permission to implead farmer organizations allowed. Issue notice, returnable tomorrow.

Supreme Court to consider shortly the petition filed by the Buffalo Traders Welfare Association against the 2017 Cattle Rules brought by the Centre under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.


On the last hearing date, January 4, the CJI had warned that the Court will stay the Rules if the Centre does not withdraw them. The CJI observed that the Rules are contrary to the parent

Matter taken.

"What are you going to do about the rules", CJI asks the Solicitor General.

'We told you last time that Rules are in dissonance with the Sections. The animals are the source of livelihood for people. The section is clear that only after conviction that animals can be taken away. The Rules permit to take away animals even before conviction' - CJI

Solicitor General : The petitioner has confused between seizure and confiscation. An animal subject to cruelty cannot be allowed to be maintained by the person. As in the case of any seizure, the party can approach the court for custody.

Kerala High Court resumes hearing of Bail Application of M Sivasankar, Former Principal Secretary of Kerala Chief Minister


Sivasankar is presently in ED's custody for alleged involvement in the Kerala Gold Smuggling case. He is also being investigated by the NIA and Customs Department.

Senior Advocate Jaideep Gupta is arguing for Sivasankar.

He denies ED's allegations that Sivasankar contacted customs officials to clear the baggage alleged to be containing smuggled gold.

Gupta claims statement made by co-accused Swapna Suresh about Sivasankar's involvement are not credible as the same were made after her arrest.

Gupta points out that the correspondence between Sivasankar and Swapna does not disclose any knowledge on the latter's part.

He also tells Court that all of Swapna's statements categorically denied his client's involvement in gold smuggling, until before her arrest.

#SupremeCourt is hearing a Public Interest Litigation seeking directions by Top Court, to provide food and healthcare facilities to children and lactating mothers, because the entire Anganwadi system has shut due to the lockdown.

On November 28, the Top Court had directed the Centre & States to file affidavits with regard to implementation of guidelines issued on operation of Anganwadi in the context of COVID-19.

Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves says he has prepared a chart wrt to the laxity of the Union with regard to the Aanganwadi system.

The Central Govt's survey on what states had done points to the fact that states had not reopened anganwadi systems in light of the notification of the Govt dated November 11, says Gonsalves.

The system is totally at a standstill, says Gonsalves.

The NHRC study and recommendation states that he Anganwadi's must immediately restart, says Gonsalves

The Delhi High Court begins hearing Chaitanya Rohilla's petition challenging Whatsapp's updated privacy policy.


Court asks the petitioner: What is your grievance? It's a private app, don't join it.

Court: What is the data you feel is going to be compromised?

Petitioner: Whatsapp shares information globally. Everything they gather from us is shared.

Court: Mr. Lal, there are two issues. One is that your personal messages are looked into and shared. Two is that your browsing history is shared.

Petitioner: They analyze browsing history and form an opinion about the user and share that.

Court: All apps do that.

Petitioner: In Europe and the US, Whatsapp gives an option to accept or reject the updated policy. But here in India, no such option is given.

Court: You have an option, don't use the app.

Good morning and welcome to court 4 of the Royal Courts of Justice, pictured from Waterloo Bridge. It’s a stunning day, London is empty, but the court is busy to hear legal argument over 41 Subposmasters hoping to have their criminal convcitions overturned…

#PostOfficeScandal


… I will be live-tweeting proceedings, hopefully abetted by the various skeleton arguments which I have asked to be supplied by the various teams of counsel present today. Words of warning….

… my tweets only SUMMARIZE what is being said or going on in court. My legal responsibilities are to be contemporaneous, accurate and fair. Nothing is VERBATIM unless it is in “direct quotes”, which only happens when someone speaks very slowly and then there is a pause. So...

… not very often.

For a layman’s summary of the legal arguments likely being exercised today, please have a look at “Court of Appeal: Battle Royale” on the Post Office Trial website:

I am in the press box alongside (well 2m apart from) @samiotobin from the Press Association. I know @TomWitherow from the Daily Mail has an interest in today’s proceedings. Maybe he is attending remotely. Brian Altman QC is senior counsel for the Post Office. Various other...

TATA Sons v Cyrus Mistry

Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice of India assembles to hear the appeals filed by Tata Sons Pvt Ltd against the NCLAT direction to reinstate Cyrus Mistry as Company Chairman.


Senior Advocate Harish Salve starts submissions for Tata Sons.

@RNTata2000 @TataCompanies

Salve : This(Chairmanship) is not a post as understood in service law. In Company Law, this is designation.

#TatasCyrusMistryDispute

Salve : Tata Sons Ltd is a company of considerable vintage. It was created in 1917.

CJI : Was it a public limited company?

Salve : Never. It has always been a private company.

#TataSons
#CyrusMistry

Salve : The curious thing which has happened in the case is that there is a provision in Tata Son's Articles which restricts the transfer of shares. It also has a remarkable feature that the Board could direct a shareholder to sell shares.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

So friends here is the thread on the recommended pathway for new entrants in the stock market.

Here I will share what I believe are essentials for anybody who is interested in stock markets and the resources to learn them, its from my experience and by no means exhaustive..

First the very basic : The Dow theory, Everybody must have basic understanding of it and must learn to observe High Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Highs and Lowers lows on charts and their

Even those who are more inclined towards fundamental side can also benefit from Dow theory, as it can hint start & end of Bull/Bear runs thereby indication entry and exits.


Next basic is Wyckoff's Theory. It tells how accumulation and distribution happens with regularity and how the market actually

Dow theory is old but

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

Speech Delay is most common in children nowadays

In ancient times, our grandparents used to follow typical natural way of caring the needs of a child. All they used were more of natural products than chemical based for the growth of child.


One of major step followed was to feed Gurbach Jadd/ Vasa Kommu/ Acorus Calamus for initiating good speech ability in a child. This stem was needed to babies on Tuesdays and Sundays in mother's milk.

Vasa is feed to baby after the 1st bath on 12th day in week. Weekly only thrice it is fed and named as :

Budhwar - Budhi Vasa
Mangalwar - Vaak Vasa
Ravi Vaar - Aayush Vasa

This stem is burnt and rubbed against the grinding stone in mother's milk or warm water to get a paste


The procedure to make it is in the link

https://t.co/uo4sGp7mUm

It should not be given daily to the child. Other main benefits are

1. It clears the phlegm in child's throat caused due to continuous milk intake. It clears the tracts and breathing is effortless.
2. Digestion

For children who haven't got their speech and is delayed than usual should feed this vasa on these days in week atleast for 6months. Don't get carried away with this dialogue

A #story from #Thiruvilayadal puranam-one of divine leelas of Bhagwan Shiva

#threadseries #Madurai

Story 16- it is about how Bhagwan Shiva explained the meaning of Vedas to the Rishis.

வேதத்துக்குப் பொருள் அருளிச் செய்த படலம்


Once there was a great deluge,everything in the world was destroyed.All lifeforms that existed got perished.Afterwards ,due to Bhagwan Shiva creation started.Then from Bhagwan Shiv ji's mouth-birth of 🕉 OM- Pranavam happened.From Pranavam,4 vedas appeared. Rishis learned them.

Many Rishis in Naimisharanya learned Vedas&recited them but they didn't understand the meaning&essence of Vedas. They were worried as they couldn't find any guru who can teach them the meaning of Vedas.That time,Rishi Arabhatar visited them.Rishis told him about need their worry.

Rishi Arabhatar told them that Bhagwan Shiva has given Vedas &he would be grateful enough to teach the meaning as well.But for that rishis have to rigorous penance at a sacred place.Also told them to go to Sundareswarar temple in Madurai to do tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy.

Assured them that Dakshinamurthy himself will come & teach them.Rishis proceeded to Madurai & started their tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy sannidhi for almost a year starting from Karthigai month pournami to next year Karthigai month pournami following all rituals..annadan
