Gavai in Supreme Court Palak Singla 08 October 2025 Background On 6 October 2025, a serious incident occurred in Court No. 1 of the Supreme Court of India, where Advocate Rakesh Kishore allegedly removed one of his sports shoes and attempted to throw it toward Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai.Security personnel immediately restrained the advocate, who shouted “Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge” (“We won’t tolerate an insult to Sanatan Dharma”).The shoe did not reach the Bench, and the CJI calmly continued the proceedings, remarking, “These things do not affect me.” The incident followed a recent controversy surrounding Justice Gavai’s remark in a Khajuraho Vishnu idol restoration case, where he commented, “Go and ask the deity itself to do something.” The statement had sparked significant backlash and debate over judicial speech and religious sensitivity. Contempt of Court / Scandalising the Court The act of attempting to hurl a shoe at a sitting Chief Justice during open court proceedings constitutes a serious act of contempt, particularly under the category of “scandalising the court.” Under Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, any act or statement that “lowers the authority of the court” or “interferes with the due course of justice” is punishable. Such behaviour not only undermines the judiciary’s dignity but also disrupts the sanctity of judicial proceedings. The Supreme Court has consistently held that lawyers, as officers of the court, must uphold the highest standards of respect and discipline in courtroom conduct. Professional Misconduct & Advocates Act Following the incident, the Bar Council of India (BCI) took immediate disciplinary action under the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules on Professional Conduct and Etiquette. Licence Suspension: Advocate Kishore’s licence to practise was suspended with immediate effect, prohibiting him from appearing, acting, or pleading before any court in India. Show-Cause Notice: The BCI issued a notice directing him to provide an explanation within 15 days, failing which further disciplinary action could be taken. Coordination with Delhi Bar Council: The Delhi Bar Council was instructed to enforce the suspension order and inform all courts and tribunals. The BCI observed that the conduct was “inconsistent with the dignity of the court,” reiterating that advocates are duty-bound to maintain decorum and restraint. Conclusion The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of professional ethics and respect for judicial institutions. The Supreme Court’s composure in handling the disruption contrasted sharply with the misconduct, reinforcing the principle that the dignity of the judiciary must remain inviolable. The ongoing disciplinary proceedings before the Bar Council of India will determine the final consequences for Advocate Kishore, likely setting a precedent for handling similar acts of contempt by legal practitioners.

Expert Opinion Renowned intellectual property lawyer Pravin Anand, Managing Partner at Anand & Anand, remarked that: “In recent times, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has evolved into a strong safeguarding mechanism, continuously asserting the protection of intellectual property and personality rights filed before it.” Legal Context Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) encompass the protection of an individual’s identity, name, image, reputation, and likeness from unauthorized exploitation.

Ltd. The plea alleges regulatory inaction and non-disclosure of critical financial information, which could mislead public investors participating in the IPO. Background of the Case Case Name: Vinay Bansal v. SEBI (W.P. No. 31301/2025) The petitioner, Vinay Bansal, a retail investor, contends that SEBI failed to discharge its statutory duty by approving WeWork India’s IPO despite significant financial instability and incomplete disclosures in the company’s offer documents. He highlighted that as of March 2024, the company reported a negative net worth of ₹437 crore and a loss of ₹1,357 million in FY 2024, questioning its financial viability. The petition claims that such material facts were not properly disclosed to investors, constituting a material omission that could adversely affect investment decisions. Petitioner’s Contentions SEBI’s approval reflects regulatory inaction and neglect of investor protection obligations. The IPO does not aim to create tangible assets or enable business expansion, but rather serves as a means for promoters to exit. Public investors are being misled into believing that WeWork India is a stable and profit-making company, despite continuous losses. The petitioner further argues that incomplete IPO documentation has created ambiguity and potential risk for the investing public. Court Proceedings The Bombay High Court has admitted the petition and listed the matter for hearing on October 8, 2025. The court is expected to examine whether SEBI’s approval process complied with its mandate of ensuring transparency and investor protection under the SEBI Act and ICDR Regulations. Conclusion The case raises key questions about regulatory accountability, corporate disclosure norms, and the balance between capital market growth and investor safety. The outcome could influence how SEBI reviews IPO applications of loss-making or high-risk companies in the future. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The ruling strengthens India’s position as a pro-arbitration jurisdiction and clarifies the boundary between arbitral authority and statutory company law. Background The case stemmed from a breakdown in a joint venture, where allegations of unauthorized share transfers, misuse of managerial authority, and corporate deadlocks arose between partners.One party challenged the arbitral tribunal’s direction for share transfer, arguing that such matters lie exclusively within the jurisdiction of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Companies Act. Court’s Reasoning The Delhi High Court ruled that arbitration derives its strength from the contractual consent of parties. Since the SHA expressly empowered the tribunal to issue orders concerning share transfers, the tribunal’s actions were within its jurisdiction. The Court emphasized: The arbitral award did not amend or override company law, but merely enforced the commercial terms agreed between the parties. Public policy and jurisdictional objections were rejected, with the Court warning that a restrictive approach to arbitral powers would undermine investor confidence and India’s arbitration-friendly stance. Implications The judgment reinforces confidence among domestic and foreign investors, assuring that arbitral tribunals can provide effective remedies in joint venture disputes.It also underlines the importance of well-drafted SHAs that clearly delegate authority to arbitrators. The ruling contributes to India’s evolving pro-arbitration jurisprudence, enhancing predictability and trust in commercial dispute resolution. Conclusion By affirming the arbitral tribunal’s authority to direct share transfers, the Delhi High Court has drawn a clear line supporting contractual autonomy and commercial efficiency in arbitration. The decision marks another step in India’s commitment to becoming a global arbitration hub. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

He observed that such interventions risk undermining judicial discipline and the finality of interim directions issued by Single Judges. Background The issue emerged in connection with a SARFAESI recovery case involving M/s Grids Engineers and Contractors and the Union Bank of India. Justice Nias had earlier passed interim orders in the matter, which were later twice interfered with by a Division Bench of the same court. Key Developments Justice Nias questioned whether intra-court appeals against interim orders are legally maintainable under Section 5 of the Kerala High Court Act. He stated that repeated interventions could set a troubling precedent, affecting the independence and authority of Single Judges. To resolve the issue, he has referred the question to a Larger Bench, seeking a definitive interpretation of the scope and limits of appellate jurisdiction within the High Court. Issues Judicial Discipline: Whether Division Benches can overrule or modify interim orders without hearing the full matter. Appellate Scope: The extent to which intra-court appeals under the Kerala High Court Act permit interference with Single Judge orders. Institutional Consistency: Ensuring uniformity and respect for judicial hierarchy within the High Court’s functioning. Current Status The Larger Bench of the Kerala High Court will soon examine the matter to determine the extent of Division Bench powers concerning Single Judge interim orders. The decision is expected to provide clarity on internal appellate procedures and reinforce judicial discipline within the court. Conclusion The reference made by Justice Nias could become a significant precedent in defining the limits of intra-court appeals and maintaining judicial order within the High Court system. The forthcoming judgment will likely influence procedural conduct and case management in future High Court proceedings. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The block includes the Lakshmi and Gauri fields, which have been producing oil and gas for over two decades. Background The Cambay Basin block, located off the coast of Gujarat, is one of India’s significant hydrocarbon assets. Vedanta, which operates the block under a production sharing contract signed with the government, has been seeking an extension after the contract term ended earlier this year.However, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, through an order dated September 19, declined to renew Vedanta’s contract and instead directed ONGC to take interim operational control of the fields. Key Developments Vedanta’s petition argues that the government’s refusal is “arbitrary and contrary” to the terms of the production sharing agreement. The company has requested the court to quash the government order and allow continued operations pending a final decision. The Attorney General of India, representing the Centre, has questioned the maintainability of Vedanta’s plea, suggesting that contractual disputes of this nature should not be adjudicated by the High Court. The matter has been listed for hearing on October 10, 2025. Issues and Implications The case raises important questions about: Contractual Stability: Whether existing production sharing agreements provide sufficient protection to private operators against sudden policy reversals. Investor Confidence: Frequent disputes between the government and private energy firms could deter investment in India’s oil and gas exploration sector. Policy Discretion: The outcome may determine the extent of the government’s authority to deny extensions based on policy changes or strategic considerations. Current Status The Delhi High Court will next hear the case on October 10, where both sides are expected to make detailed submissions on the validity of the government’s decision and Vedanta’s contractual rights. Conclusion The Vedanta vs. Government of India dispute over the Cambay Basin block could become a landmark case for India’s energy sector, setting a precedent on how production contracts are interpreted and extended. The judgment will likely influence the future investment climate and the balance between state control and private enterprise in the country’s hydrocarbon industry.

Ltd. The company has also requested judicial protection from interference by regulatory and investigative bodies during the sale process. Background The Sahara Group has been under financial and legal scrutiny since the SEBI-Sahara investor refund case that began over a decade ago. Following a series of Supreme Court orders, the company was directed to deposit thousands of crores in the SEBI-Sahara Refund Account to return money to investors of its real estate schemes.Despite partial repayments, the group continues to face pressure to liquidate assets to fulfill the court’s directives. The proposed sale to Adani marks one of Sahara’s most significant attempts to resolve its long-standing financial liabilities. Key Developments Property Sale Proposal: Sahara has submitted a formal plea to the Supreme Court for approval to sell its premium assets to Adani Properties Pvt. Ltd. Use of Sale Proceeds: The company stated that all proceeds would be deposited directly into the SEBI-Sahara Refund Account to ensure compliance with previous court orders. Protection Sought: The group requested the court to bar regulatory or investigative authorities—including SEBI, ED, and IT Department—from interfering in the transaction until its completion. Issues and Implications The case raises critical questions about how judicial oversight can balance corporate asset recovery with investor protection. If approved, it could set a legal precedent for future court-monitored corporate transactions involving distressed assets. The involvement of Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates, adds economic weight and potential controversy to the proceedings. Current Status The Supreme Court has listed the matter for hearing on October 14, 2025. A bench led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud is expected to hear arguments from both Sahara and SEBI on the conditions of the sale and the protection sought. Conclusion The outcome of this case will have wide-reaching implications for both corporate restructuring and investor restitution in India. If the Supreme Court grants Sahara the permission it seeks, it could mark a turning point in the group’s long legal battle and redefine the framework for judicially supervised asset sales in the country.

The State of Chhattisgarh – Acquittal on Grounds of Weak Circumstantial Evidence India and Canada Diplomatic Row Escalates Over Alleged Involvement in Sikh Leader’s Killing Shristi Singh 30 September 2025 Introduction Diplomatic tensions between India and Canada have escalated sharply after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that Indian agents might have been involved in the killing of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. The claim has triggered a series of diplomatic expulsions, suspension of services, and a freeze in bilateral talks, straining relations between the two countries. Background Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan activist and Canadian citizen, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, Canada, in June 2023. India had declared Nijjar a wanted terrorist, accusing him of promoting separatism and violent extremism. Canada, home to one of the world’s largest Sikh diasporas, has long faced criticism from India for allegedly allowing extremist Khalistani groups to operate with impunity. The Allegations On 18 September 2023, Prime Minister Trudeau told the Canadian Parliament that “credible allegations” linked Indian government agents to Nijjar’s killing. He described the matter as a serious violation of Canadian sovereignty and urged Indian cooperation in the investigation. India firmly rejected the claims, calling them “absurd and motivated”, and demanded concrete evidence from Canada before making such accusations. Diplomatic Actions Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat. India retaliated by expelling a Canadian diplomat of equivalent rank. India suspended visa services for Canadian citizens, citing “security threats.” Ongoing trade talks between the two nations were placed on hold. International Reactions United States & United Kingdom: Expressed concern, urging both sides to maintain dialogue and support transparent investigations. Australia: Stressed respect for international norms and due process. Civil Society Groups: Divided—some backed Trudeau’s stance, while others accused Canada of overlooking extremist activities within its borders. Legal and Political Implications International Law: If proven, the allegations could amount to a violation of sovereignty and trigger significant legal and diplomatic consequences. For India: Potential damage to its diplomatic image and relations with Western allies. For Canada: Trudeau faces domestic pressure for escalating tensions without presenting hard evidence, risking political backlash. Conclusion The India-Canada diplomatic dispute underscores the delicate intersection of diaspora politics, counterterrorism, and international diplomacy. As investigations proceed, the path ahead will determine whether the two nations can de-escalate tensions or face a prolonged diplomatic standoff. A balanced resolution remains crucial for protecting trade ties, people-to-people relations, and regional stability. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The State of Chhattisgarh – Acquittal on Grounds of Weak Circumstantial Evidence Maintainability of an Election Petition and the Need for Substantive Material Facts under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 Supreme Court to Review Plea on Electoral Bonds Scheme Shristi Singh 30 September 2025 Introduction The Supreme Court of India has agreed to review fresh petitions against the Electoral Bonds Scheme, reigniting debate over political funding and transparency in India. Introduced in 2018, the scheme allows individuals and corporations to donate money to political parties anonymously—a system critics argue encourages opacity and undermines democratic accountability. Background of the Scheme The Electoral Bonds Scheme was introduced by the Government of India with the stated objective of creating a “clean and transparent” channel for political donations. Donors purchase bonds through the State Bank of India (SBI). Political parties encash them through designated accounts. Donor identity remains confidential. While the government claims the scheme curbs cash-based donations and black money, opposition parties, activists, and civil society groups argue it promotes opaque funding, lack of accountability, and corporate influence in politics. Supreme Court’s Involvement Several Public Interest Litigations (PILs), including one by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), have challenged the scheme’s constitutionality. Petitioners argue: Violation of Right to Information – Citizens must know the sources of political funding. Unfair Advantage to Ruling Party – SBI’s government control could give ruling parties privileged access to donor details. Corporate Influence – Large corporations can anonymously shape policies through donations. The Supreme Court, while not delivering a verdict yet, has agreed to a comprehensive review and scheduled hearings in the coming months. Political Reactions Opposition Parties: Welcomed the Court’s move, framing it as a step toward protecting democracy. Ruling Party: Defended the scheme, highlighting its role in reducing cash-based, untraceable donations. Civil Society: Stressed the need for donor disclosure, arguing that transparency is essential for an informed electorate. Legal Significance This case holds major implications for electoral democracy and constitutional rights in India. Possible outcomes include: Striking down the scheme as unconstitutional. Modifying it with stricter disclosure and accountability mechanisms. Upholding the scheme while balancing confidentiality with public transparency. Conclusion The Supreme Court’s review of the Electoral Bonds Scheme marks a landmark moment in India’s political and legal discourse. Its decision will shape the future of electoral funding, transparency, and the integrity of democratic processes. Until a final judgment is delivered, the scheme remains at the center of a heated debate on whether it strengthens clean politics or deepens opacity in governance.

Officials from the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) emphasized greater cooperation, improved coordination, and reduced tensions, signaling renewed efforts to strengthen bilateral ties. Background The India-Bangladesh border is one of the most complex frontiers in South Asia. Spanning over 4,000 km, it cuts across rivers, villages, forests, and farmlands. Despite strong diplomatic ties, challenges persist over illegal migration, cattle and narcotics smuggling, border killings, and river water-sharing disputes.Illegal migration has remained a politically charged issue in India, particularly in states like Assam and West Bengal. Smuggling, meanwhile, continues to fuel cross-border tensions. Another unresolved matter is the Teesta River water-sharing agreement, which has long eluded consensus despite repeated negotiations.Annual BSF-BGB talks are designed to manage these operational and political issues. The September 2025 dialogue holds special significance as both governments face domestic pressures to ensure border security and economic cooperation. Key Developments The week-long talks were led by BSF Director General Nitin Agrawal and BGB Director General Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui. India’s Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla inaugurated the meeting, calling the border a “bridge of cooperation” rather than a barrier. Key issues discussed: Illegal Migration – India raised concerns and urged Bangladesh to tighten surveillance. Cross-Border Smuggling – Plans to curb narcotics, arms, and cattle trafficking, including drone surveillance and night-vision tools. Border Killings – Both sides reviewed civilian casualty incidents; India stressed a “zero-tolerance” policy. River Water Sharing – Revival of the stalled Teesta water-sharing agreement was explored. Joint Cooperation – Agreements on joint patrols, intelligence sharing, and training programs were reached. Maj. Gen. Siddiqui reaffirmed Dhaka’s commitment to addressing India’s concerns, stressing that Bangladesh values its partnership with India for regional stability. Issues Illegal Migration: Political and security challenge in India’s northeast. Smuggling: Undermines both trade and security. Border Killings: A sensitive humanitarian and diplomatic concern. Water Disputes: The Teesta issue impacts farmers on both sides. External Influence: Rising Chinese presence in South Asia adds geopolitical urgency. Current Status Talks concluded in a cordial environment, with both countries reaffirming commitment to long-term cooperation. While concrete solutions on migration and water-sharing remain pending, enhanced joint patrols, technological surveillance, and a renewed dialogue on Teesta represent tangible progress. Conclusion The September 2025 India-Bangladesh border talks highlight both challenges and opportunities in managing one of South Asia’s most sensitive borders. By prioritizing cooperation over confrontation, the two nations signaled a shared commitment to stability, trade, and regional trust-building. While issues like migration and water-sharing require sustained negotiations, this dialogue underscores that both sides are determined to chart a path toward stronger bilateral partnership.
