The Supreme Court is going to hear a Suo Motu case on the #COVIDEmergency2021 at 11 am, jeopardising the good work being done by High Courts. Let's hope the retiring CJI Bobde does what he's done best during his 15 month tenure: nothing at all.

The arrest of #RheaChakraborty and the nonsensical, politician motivated witch-hunt that has led us to it is a national disgrace. The NCB's remand application, asking for 14 days' judicial custody, is breathtaking in its lack of logic. We all need to be ashamed of ourselves.

Top corner stuff from @kunalkamra88 ? If The Supreme Court actually takes up the contempt petitions against him after this brilliant response, failing to take up all those other high priority cases, then it really will prove everything he said to be true.

A citizen of India - no matter your opinion of his comments, he IS a citizen of India - was asked by the Supreme Court to submit a loyalty affidavit so he could exercise his fundamental rights. Congrats Justice Chandrachud, for this new low for the court.

Ar advocate SV Raju for the UP Police IO claims that calling a religious leader like Bajrangi Muni a hate-monger is outraging religious sentiments of his followers, so 295A IPC case made out. This is insane. If Muni makes hate speeches, how is it relevant that he has followers?

There is no law which allows demolition of properties of persons accused of any crime. Not even MP's copy of UP law on recovering compensation for damage to public/private property. Everyone knows this was brazenly illegal. But do we care any more?

There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution which says your right to free speech or assembly can be curtailed because a related matter is being heard by the courts. Instead of his weekly speeches, perhaps CJI Ramana should be talking to his brother judges about the law.

We just murdered an 84 year old man who had spent his life working for the disadvantaged & marginalised. It's not just Modi & Shah who have his blood on their hands. Every judge who allowed this ghastly farce, & all of us who failed to stop it, are responsible. RIP Stan Swamy

Re-upping this explanation by @mekhala_saran on why the case is baseless. - How does calling people who've literally made hate speeches (+ been arrested for them) hate-mongers outrage religious sentiments? - Where is the obscenity for 67 IT Act?

Remember when @PChidambaram_IN 's urgent appeal in SC against Delhi HC rejection of his anticipatory bail petition was not heard because of a couple of defects, despite HC copy pasting stuff from an ED note, allowing him to be arrested and then kept in jail for 100+ days? Yeah.

Tripura Police's UAPA case against advocates @AnsarIndori & Mukesh, part of PUCL fact-finding team re anti-Muslim violence, can't possibly be legally justified. Even though Section 43D(5) doesn't apply here, is still just misuse to make bail difficult.
