[New Delhi,]SC Refuses to Stay Demonetisation Notification

Bench Of Chief Justice T S Thakur and D Y Chandrachud said.”We will not be granting any stay,”
The remarks were made after some advocates insisted on a stay.

The bench asked Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi to file an affidavit about the measures already undertaken by the government and the RBI to minimise public inconvenience and also the steps likely to be undertaken in future.
Without issuing any notice to the Centre or the RBI, the bench posted the matter for further hearing on November 25
Supreme Court,Atlast,Takes Unusual Stand & Appoints Lokayukta For UP
[New Delhi]Supreme Court,Atlast,Takes Unusual Stand & Appoints UP Lokayukta
SC, has ,Appointed Justice Virendra Singh as UP Lokayukta Which Is To Be Complied With Up to 20th December.
In an unusual order, the Supreme Court today exercised its constitutional authority and appointed former High Court judge, Justice Virendra Singh, as Lokayukta of Uttar Pradesh after the state government failed to comply with its directives.
In an embarrassment for the SP government in Uttar Pradesh, the bench examined a list of nominees and ordered the appointment.
“The failure of constitutional functionaries to comply with the orders of the highest court of the land is deeply regretted and astonishing,” a bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi said, adding, “We, therefore, proceed to exercise our right under Article 142 of the Constitution to remedy the situation by passing an appropriate order.”
The court said that it appoints Justice Singh as Lokayukta and asked the state government to file a report by December 20 indicating compliance of its order.
The bench regretted that its several orders have not been “heeded” by the constitutional functionaries — the chief minister, the leader of opposition and the chief justice of the Allahabad high court.
In the forenoon, the bench took strong note of the submission of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the state government, that though it had shortlisted five names but no consensus has been arrived at on a specific person.
The bench then asked Sibal to provide the names by 12.30 PM today itself and said, “we know how to get our orders complied with”.
The law provides that a high-powered committee of the chief minister, the leader of opposition and the chief justice of the concerned high court together appoints the chief of the state ombudsman.
Earlier on December 14, the apex court had rapped the UP government for not appointing Lokayukta in the state despite its directions, saying it seemed that appointing authorities have their “own agenda”.
The bench was hearing the pleas filed by Mahendra Kumar Jain and lawyer Radhakant Tripathi seeking a direction to the state to appoint the Lokayukta at the earliest in pursuance of the Supreme Court orders.

The apex court also declined to interfere with the proceedings of the Gujarat high court which is proceeding with another case in which Hardik has been accused of stage- managing his own abduction by the police.
The bench said that it was not interfering in another case of habeas corpus pending before the Gujarat high court in which the police have accused Hardik Patel of stage managing his own abduction.
“It is clarified that the high court may continue with the matter in the special criminal appeal pertaining to habeas corpus,” the bench said.
Before passing the order, the bench took on record the submissions of Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the state government and senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Hardik Patel.
“We consider it just and appropriate to defer the hearing in the matter (sedition case). List it after one and a half months on the completion of investigation,” the bench said while posting the matter for January 5.

New Delhi]Kapil Sibal Drives Strait To The Short Pitch Ball Of Lalit Modi By Saying Yes I Met Him In a Marriage Function
Kapil Sibal ,In a Press Release, said “A couple of days back, Lalit Modi wrote on Twitter “Did KAPIL Sibal a congress politician report we sat and ate and spoke at a wedding for 3 days in istanbul”
Sibal Said “Yes, I was at a wedding where he was also invited as one guest among hundreds of others. I was invited by the bride’s family, and he was a guest of the groom’s side”.
He Said Lalit Modi’s tweet simply reflects what anyone at a wedding can be described as doing. Nothing more should assumed from his tweet. Certainly not the rapport he is trying to imply, and what some sections of social media and some journalists have tried to allude.
He Added “On one afternoon when I was having lunch with 20 people, he and two others landed up and joined the group. To say we ate, sat and chatted for 3 days is incorrect and a gross exaggeration”.
