#BREAKING Supreme Court says Registry acting "very nasty" CJI Surya Kant: Very nasty registry. Each one sitting here considers themselves as super Chief Justice of India. CJI: Notice has not been issued to ED director stating no such order was passed. Let a fact finding inquiry be undertaken by registrar judicial as to how our March 2026 does not mean notice to the ED. Let notice be served to the Directorate of Enforcement. [Ayushi Mittal vs State of Rajasthan]

CJI: issue notice. Let notice be issued to all states through their advocate Generals. The matter shall be initially placed before 3 judge bench to be constituted by the CJI. No question of grant of any interim order..no question of interim stay. CJI Kant: Speaking for myself ...the ones who are born naturally... SG: yes their choice should be respected. Singhvi: people who are undergoing treatment .. it is not being allowed now. That's why prayer for stay.

Singhvi: Then you cannot nullify the judgment. Basis can be removed. NALSA judgment is nullified and basis removal is not attempted. Justice Bagchi: You cannot say that! It's on self identification: Singhvi Justice Bagchi: so you can say examine the amendment in the light of article 21. This amendment changed the substratum of the law under which NALSA examined it. So self identification is replaced with medical evaluation. Singhvi: If I am undergoing therapy now.. by way of this act it's illegal SG Mehta: there are cases of castration as well. The act only prohibits the forceful change of religion

"Is Darshan getting basic amenities?" Supreme Court directs Karnataka to file a report after the actor moves a writ petition. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi tells court that Darshan is kept in a quarantine like cell without light or access to food.

CJI: most of the relief require legislative intervention and amendments to the existing legal framework. The court cannot intervene unless there are extraordinary circumstances. Let all the facts and issues be brought to the notice of state actors. The writ be itself treated as representation to the authorities

CJI: The instant plea is purportedly in public interest. The allegation is that verification for obtaining aadhaar is extremely weak and that is used to defraud the system. It is stated UIDAI has issued 144 crore aadhaar cards enrolling 99 percent of Indian population. It is stated that there is legal vaccum in dealing with illegal infiltration by exploiting aadhaar framework and that rights of citizens is being adversely affected. It is stated illegal immigration can lead to external disturbance.

Supreme Court hears plea seeking a direction to the UIDAI to issue new Aadhaar cards only to citizens up to the age of six years, and frame stringent guidelines for its issuance to adolescents and adults to stop infiltrators from masquerading as Indian citizens. CJI: Point out this issue to parliament etc. Adv Ashwini Upadhyay: It will prevent infiltration. 87,000 fake documents were found in Mumbai. For adults there should be scrutiny. For children it's okay. Now almost 99 percent already registered. CJI: Yes I agree fake documents are a problem. Education certificates, etc. these are criminal acts . The very fact you are acknowledging that there are forged documents you know that UIDAI has nothing to do with it.
