BC COURT
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI SA Bobde will shortly consider today a batch of PILs seeking removal of farmers protesting at Delhi borders against farm laws.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020

 Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta submits that he has received a message from Sr. Adv. Harish Salve to be unmuted.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Why are you commenting on the Courtmaster ? We are asking is Mr. Salve appearing in the matter.

SG: I just received a message.

CJI: We don’t have any information of him appearing.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Adv. Dushyant Tiwari begins submissions: You have already passed a judgement in the Amit Sahni case (Shaheen Bagh judgement). Please look at Para 19.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
SG once again requests the Court to unmute Salve.

Courtmaster informs CJI that no AOR has informed of Salve’s appearance.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
There seems to be confusion pertaining to Salve’s appearance as the Courtmaster states that no information regarding his appearance has been given for the current matters.

Tiwari continues his submissions.
Tiwari: Petitioner is not a farmer, he’s a law student.

CJI: This is such an important matter. Why can’t you argue it properly ? We are asking, what is your standing, your issues and your prayer.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
SG interrupts the proceeding: I apologise. Mr. Salve has sent another message, seeking to assist in the current matter. He says that he has a similar case.

CJI: Please don’t interrupt us, there’s no case of Salve before us.
CJI: If there is any case, we will hear him. But, he has no case before us.

Om Prakash Parihar makes submissions now.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Parihar compares the situation in Shaheen Bagh and the Farmer’s protests.

CJI: How many people had blocked the road there ? Will the number of people not determine this ? Who will take responsibility ? There can be no precedent in law and order situation.
Adv. Reepak Kansal now appears.

CJI asks the Petitioners if the organisations have been added. Parihar responds that there is no information of the organisations.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Check the newspaper reports, the organisations are present.

Parihar: Then the Court will say that we are relying on newspaper reports and dismiss this.

CJI: You should be assisting the Court. Don’t unnecessarily argue with us.
Kansal submits that there should be a balance: There is no free movement. Ambulances cannot go. This a violation of Article 19(1)(a),(b) and (c).

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Adv. GS Mani makes submissions and he states that he has land in Tamil Nadu, and that he is aware of the farmers’ pain as he himself has cultivated land when he goes there.

“I don’t know if this is the farmer’s fault or the government’s fault”.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt
CJI: Will you keep quiet and listen ? You say that you know the pain of the farmers of Punjab and Haryana because you have land in Tamil Nadu ? What do you know ?

Mani submits that he knows the pain of protesting in the peak cold.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Mani: My prayer is to ensure fundamental rights are available to the fellow farmers. That they are provided basic amenities.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Mr. SG, we see that the petitions are ill-conceived and there are no legal issues before us. The only party before us who has blocked the road is you.

SG: I have not blocked the road.
CJI: No, no, no. Who has blocked the road ?

SG: The farmers are protesting and roads have been blocked by Delhi Police.

CJI: So, the only party who is actually on ground is you.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
CJI: Who are the parties who are heading the protests ?

SG: Bhartiya Kisan Union. The government will not do anything against the interest of farmers. Sit with the government clause by clause, then there can be a discussion or debate with an open mind.
CJI: Your negotiation does not work apparently. You should be willing to negotiate and we should have a farmer before us who is also willing to negotiate ! Give us the name of the Union.

SG: I can give you the name within ten minutes. Immediately I can think of Bhartiya Kisan.
CJI tells Parihar that liberty will be given to him to join the party.

Adv. Rahul Mehra, GNCTD appears: No efforts have been made to check the veracity of the claims of the Petitioners and to show the authenticity.
Mehra: They are in severe winters. They are here because of compulsion. This is not out of choice.

SG: He seems to be appearing for some farmer organisation.

Mehra: I can also say that you are appearing for something else.
CJI: There is only the difference of one letter in your surnames - Mehra and Mehta. Whatever you want to say, say it to each other outside of court.

SG: Yes, we will talk over call.

#FarmersProtests #SupremeCourt #FarmLaws2020
Supreme Court informs the SG that tentatively a Committee will be formed with members of all farmers organisations from the rest of India.

“Otherwise this will soon become a national issue. It seems government may not be able to work out”.
Bench: Permission to implead farmer organizations allowed. Issue notice, returnable tomorrow.

Bhishan: How can a private conversation be made a subject of inquiry ? What is the crime in having a private conversation, even if it’s about the conduct of a SC judge ? Without even saying into me, the HC orders an inquiry ? How can that be done ?

#SupremeCourt @pbhushan1

Bhushan: Your Lordship will need to issue notice and stay the inquiry as the inquiry is completely out of order.

My first experience of workplace sexual harassment was when my mom got her first real office job after graduating from college when I was in high school.

She was so excited to be taken “seriously.” Her bossed isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.

It was then how I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.

And I promised myself I would never let those kind of guys win. I would work hard my whole life to put myself in positions of power to change things. To end the violence & corruption. Give voice to the voiceless.

I am not stopping. I refuse. I will never give up.

Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.

I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.

Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it.

No one.

And I *know* I am not the only woman.

A Supreme Court bench headed by CJI SA Bobde is hearing a PIL seeking the direction for the Ministry of Home Affairs, Law and Justice and Women and Child Development to make all the personal laws uniform.

Senior Adv. Pinky Anand is appearing for the Petitioners followed by Meenakshi Arora.
The plea seeks the removal of personal laws as they are discriminatory under Art. 14,15 and other provisions of International Covenants.

CJI: You want the abolishment of Personal Laws?
Pinky Anand: No
CJI: You are not saying it doesn't mean that's not the reality.

"You are asking us to encroach upon personal laws and remove the distinction that they create." CJI said.

Pinky Anand refers to the cases of Shayara Bano and Sarala Mudgal to argue that Courts on earlier occasions have struck down laws and gave directions for practices found to be unconstitutional.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this
