CJI Gavai hits the nail on its head: “… legitimacy and public confidence is not secured through coercion of command but through credibility earned. …judiciary must rise to the challenge of being accessible, intelligible, & answerable, without compromising its independence”.

That it is now a full-blown war between Elon Musk & Donald J. Trump is not unexpected or surprising. That it took over six months for their relations to sour is. As the Chinese say: may we live in interesting times.

What is happening in Israel attacking Iran is a dictatorial leader Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו , with overt & covert backing of his Western backers trying to cling to power through desperate means. He isn’t bothered what his actions portend for others. #Iran

Having won the Presidency the on promise of not dragging the US into another war, it would be interesting to see how Donald J. Trump navigates the #IranIsraelConflict , his constant threats on social media notwithstanding. If he does, he & GOP risk losing support among the base

Following an outcry over issuance of summons to two senior advocates by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) merely for giving advice to their clients & subsequent condemnation by the SCBA, ED has now told officials to not issue summons without approval of the Director.

As Bikram Singh Majithia is arrested by PB Vigilance Bureau for having assets more than income, one can’t but recall that last time PB govt arrested his bro-in-law Sukhbir Singh Badal and others, Capt.Amarinder Singh was CM & VB case fell flat. Even IO turned hostile, was granted extn in service.

If Bhagwant Mann govt is serious about really nailing Bikram Majithia, it may want to take guidance from ex-DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya. After all, one case against Majithia was regd in Dec 2021 when Chattopadhyaya was DGP. Majithia used to even take his name during 2022 polls

A surprise running into old friend & man of the hour - ex-DGP, Punjab, Siddharth Chattopadhyaya - just now. For those who don’t know, he is one reason that Akali leader Bikram Majithia is under arrest, again. Chattopadhyaya also headed the HC-appointed SIT on drug trade in Punjab

Now that Delhi HC advocate Shwetasree Majumdar has withdrawn her consent to be appointed as judge, SC collegium should ask govt why her appointment was stalled at the last minute. She deserves the truth. Otherwise good lawyers will continue to refuse to give consent for judgeship

Now that govt has finally acted upon, selectively though, transfers of HC Judges recommended by Supreme Court Collegium, the composition of the three-Judge collegium in some HCs will also change.
