The reference to informal "Sharia"based dispute-resolution forums in Kerala and the United Kingdom is not inaccurate, but it is presented without adequate constitutional context. Such bodies, like caste panchayats, church mediation cells, or community arbitration groups possess no coercive legal authority in India. They function as socio-cultural negotiation spaces unless their conduct violates statutory rights or public order. The concern becomes constitutionally relevant only when such forums attempt to supplant state institutions or enforce decisions through intimidation or extra-legal coercion. Conflating their sociological presence with a constitutional threat risks overstretching the point, particularly when framed alongside speculative claims of “demographic strategy,” which fall outside rigorous constitutional analysis;
I'm not gonna speak against abrogation of A.370 because it was obviously necessary by our republic's 70th anniversary;
The talk about "Hindu Rasthra" is similarly not possible when the second largest religion in our country is very apprehensive of it;
Further, while it is true that India’s Constitution has evolved through amendments, judicial interpretation, and also political consensus. In reality, constitutional “evolution” has also included episodes of overreach (e.g., the 39th and 42nd Amendments), executive dominance, and judicial oscillation. Describing the document as “living” cannot become a rhetorical shield for all changes; the doctrine of basic structure itself exists precisely to limit the excesses of such evolution. A more rigorous argument would acknowledge that constitutional dynamism must operate within substantive constraints.
Advocates do not always act as custodians of pluralism, equality, and the rule of law. It is in fact laudable that you mentioned this as our noble profession dictates and how legal education is based upon this. However, you are assuming that there is a degree of neutrality which the entire legal profession does not always, unanimously possess. Institutional responsibility cannot be discharged merely through appeals to moderation. Instead, it requires defending constitutional method, resisting populist distortions, and confronting state excess as well as majoritarian or minoritarian pressures.
Btw do you think the rumble in Bihar will affect the dynamics in the EC at NUJS. Apparently OVN has publicly stated he prefers minimal EC involvement in univ affairs. So will it be divide and conquer by the OVN and King tag team?
Even if many GC/EC members switch loyalties, at least the TMC MLAs and ministers, the AG and the pro-TMC retired judge will be out of the NUJS if the TMC loses. That alone can make a big difference.
Assuming the results are out by mid-May, we have 5.5 to 6 months to find out the future direction of NUJS.
Any leads regarding -
1. Renting Chambers - are there any clerks who are acting as brokers who can help find one; any other way to find a chamber; expected rent; any other information worth knowing.
2. Panel vacancies for Del HC - how does one find out about the vacancies, are they regularly posted - alternative ways of being on panel ( apart from the recommendations / references of course)
3. Any forums or portals or posts which share DHC (grape-wine) info. - that is to stay, stories, lores, gossips, Bar traditions et al.
Any other good to know, need to know info! TIA
Sidenote: Does one need to be an AOR to file cases on the Appellate side as well ?
LI readers are clueless and the voting is totally biased.
Just saw his profile, quite an interesting journey..
Quite effective in tax and commercial matters
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for the children, said that under a matrimonial decree, Sunjay Kapur was responsible for funding his children’s education and expenses. He claimed that the estate of the children is currently under the control of Priya Kapur, and the fees for Samaira, who is studying in the US, have not been paid for two months.
However, senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya Kapur, rejected the claim as baseless and fabricated. He maintained that Priya has consistently provided for the children and that all dues, including the university fees, have already been paid. Nayar also suggested that the issue was raised in court to attract media attention.
…
The children have previously questioned the authenticity of the will and, in court, referred to Priya Kapur as a “Cinderella stepmother," alleging that she prioritises her own interests over theirs. In response, Priya informed the court that the children have already received Rs 1,900 crore from the family trust.

Were you held back arbitrarily? Sounds like you didn't have enough attendance! If 50 kids fall short, the requirement should be waived?
Why would you not submit your keys to the hostel, this is a standard routine process followed around the country. That is government property, not a leased apartment.
