Chief Counsel and President of the Supreme Court Bar (SCBA) Dushyant Dave Wednesday sent a letter to the Chief Justice expressing disappointment that he was allegedly deprived of the opportunity to speak at Judge Arun’s dismissal ceremony. Mishra. Dave wrote to Chief Justice SA Bobde expressing “strong disappointment and condemnation” and said that he will never again participate in any functions organized by the Supreme Court until his term as president of the Supreme Court Bar Association ends in December.
I must confess that the Supreme Court has reached levels where the judges are afraid of the Bar Association. Remember, judges come and go, but we, the Bar Association, remain constant. We are the true strength of this great institution because we are permanent. “I must say that I am personally deeply saddened by this event and will never again participate in any functions organized by the Supreme Court until my term ends in December,” Dave said.
He claimed that he received a link at 10.06 a. M. To join the Ceremonial Bank of the Chief Justice of India at 12.30pm. M. From Team SCI VC and that it was sent by WhatsApp by the Registrar in question. “I responded at 10.16 am accepting it, which was recognized by the Registrar at 10.18 am. I joined through the link around 12.20 pm and the Team confirmed that the video and audio were perfect. I then had conversations with the Attorney General KK Venugopal, Attorney General Tushar Mehta, SCORA President Shivaji Jadhav, among others. Once the Court met, I saw and heard all the proceedings clearly. In the end, Mr. Mukul Rohtagi was fired, “he said. .
The Supreme Court Justice Judge Arun Mishra, who retired on September 2, had previously rejected the farewell invitations from the bar associations citing “a serious situation and suffering around the world” due to the COVID pandemic. -19.
Dave further wrote that after the Court’s work, the Attorney General was asked to speak. “When it was over I thought they would ask me to speak, instead Mr. Jadhav was asked knowing full well that he was present. For some unknown reasons, I was disconnected over and over again, but I insisted and rejoined each time. I saw and heard Shri Jadhav completely and at the end of his speech again I was not asked to speak, although Shri Jadhav has acknowledged my presence in his speech, “said Dave.
Furthermore, he wrote that after a CJI speech, Judge Mishra was invited to speak. “At that stage, realizing the game plan, I went out for the broader interests of the dignity of the Bar Association and for myself. But the most important thing is that I sent a message to the Secretary General on WhatsApp at 12:49 pm and again at 12:53 pm asking why I was kept silent and why they invited me “. Only at 1.02 pm, he responded by saying that he was instructing the Registrar to investigate him, at which point it was too late and so I sent him a message informing him that I had left. The whole episode leaves much to be desired by this great Institution. The entire attempt was to prevent me from addressing myself on behalf of the SCBA and its Executive Committee, after having invited and accepted the invitation. This was clearly an affront to the Bar Association and to me personally, “he said.
