#suomotu Case on #COVID19
BREAKING : Senior Advocate Harish Salve seeks permission to recuse as amicus as from Suo mot covid case.
Salve : I don't want the case to be heard under a shadow that I was appointed because of my school friendship with the CJI.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Salve : I did not know our bar was divided between advocates who appear for industries and against it.
I don't want aspersions to be cast.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Salve : Today we have lost that narrative when cases used to be fought gracefully.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
CJI : We understand that you are pained. We were not happy to read what supposedly senior advocates said. But everyone has their own opinion.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Solicitor General : We are not in a position in the country to have a maligning competition in media and electronic media.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
Solicitor General : Someday somebody from judiciary has to take cognizance of this trend of electronic media.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
Solicitor General : I saw on digital media people literally abusing. This needs to be looked into. One counsel should not succumb to such tactics. Mr Salve should reconsider. Its a question of principle.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Justice L Nagesawara Rao : Even before the order was released, it was being criticized for something which was not there in there in the order. Is this the way Senior Advocates speak? Without seeing the order.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Justice Nageswara Rao asks Dushyant Dave : Is this the way you respond? Imputing motives? Without reading the order?

Dave : It was not imputing order. We all thought your lordships was going to do it. It was a genuine perception. Your lordships have done it before.
Justice Bhat : Mr.Dave, please. We did not say a word about the High Courts. We never stalled the High Courts from proceedings. We asked the Centre to approach High Courts.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Justice Rao : Senior lawyers have to protect the institution.

Dave : We feel institutions will be strengthened by objective criticism.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
Solicitor General : Chief Justice is retiring today. I genuinely feel he deserves a loving farewell. Senior Advocates must not give public statements on the basis of perceptions.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
Dave : Mr. Mehta, you have been defending the government only on the basis of perceptions.

Vikas Singh : Solicitor General has said that no migrants were walking in the road and the Court has accepted.

Solicitor General : What is going on here?

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Vikas Singh says hospitals in Delhi are facing oxygen shortage, and court must look into inter-state issues. Haryana is not giving oxygen, he says

CJI : That is exactly what we are looking at.
#SuoMoto #COVID19
CJI : Now the matter is adjourned to Tuesday. Mr.Mehta wants time. We are shutting the matter today.

Salve : Please pass an order allowing my request.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Solicitor General : I want my Chief Justice to have a decent farewell, not this abuse.

Dave : We are not abusing. We object to this statement.

#SuoMoto #COVID19
Bench passes an order relieving Senior Advocate Harish Salve as an amicus in the matter.

Bench adjourns the case till next Tuesday.
