Listing of our cases in SC

As known, after winter vacation, the bench hearing our cases was changed and hence the cases are to be allotted to the bench afresh. Being the part-heard cases, it would be appropriate if the cases are allotted to the special bench consisting of the same judges viz. Hon'ble Justice Maheshwari and Hon'ble Justice Bishnoi. 

In such matters directions are issued by the Master of Roaster i.e. the Hon'ble CJI. Federation of Retd LIC Class 1 Officers Associations and AIRIEF decided to make a mention for listing of our cases. Accordingly, the mention was made on 10/2/2026, when Hon'ble Justice Maheshwari responded saying that he would see the matter. 
As was informed by Shri R K Singh, AIRIEF's advocate, the registry had placed our cases, along with others, before CJI for directions before the hearing of 4/2/2026. It was also informed that among the part-heard cases by Justice Maheshwari and Justoce Bishnoi, a few cases (2 cases if I recollect correctly) were directed to be listed on 4/2/2026 with the remark  - 'list on 4/2/2026 as item number 1' and 'list on 4/2/2026 on top of board'. Due to change in roaster, none of such cases were listed on 4/2/2026, but out of above, one case ( Saidai Duraisami V. M K Stalin) was directed by Hon'ble CJI to be listed on 11/2/2026 in the Spl Bench of Justice Maheshawri and Justice Bishnoi and was taken up by the bench on priority (Our cases were the other lot directed to be listed on 4/2/2026 on top of board). 
After commencement of hearing, the advocates were not able to provide details asked for by the bench and submitted to provide the details after instructions from the parties. Bench expressed its annoyance on non-preparedness on the part of advocates saying that the special bench was constituted for this purpose and because of unpreparedness on the part of advocates entire plan of the spl bench is disturbed. After about one and half hour, the bench passed the order to list the case on 17/2/2026 with instructions that 3 hrs time would be given to petitioners advocate and thereafter Respondents Advocate would complete his arguments up to 18/2/2026. Accordingly, the said case was taken up on 17/2/2026 and 18/2/2026. Full time was devoted for the same. Today (18/2/2026), before lunch, Justice Maheshwari directed the advocate of the respondent (Mr. Sibbal) to complete the arguments today itself. But, arguments of Mr. Sibbal were not complete today, so the the bench ordered to list the case on 19/2/2026 for further arguments. As per the causelist of 19/2/2026, only the case of Saidai Duraisami V. M K Stalin is listed in court 3.  
So, on 19/11/2026 our cases are not coming. 
Shri R K Singh is following up the case in the registry regularly. Keeping in view aforesaid developments, we may expect that direction from CJI would be issued to allot our cases to the spl bench of J Maheshwari and J Bishnoi shortly may be on 25th Feb 2026.

Do you know that a quarrel on a cricket field once led to the composition of "Vande Mataram"?

Do you know that a quarrel on a cricket field once led to the composition of "Vande Mataram"?

About 145 years ago, a dispute arose at the Barrack Square (now Square Field) ground in Berhampur, West Bengal, which inspired Bankim Chandra Chatterjee to write this patriotic song. If British Colonel Duffin hadn't attacked Bankim Babu during that cricket match, perhaps "Vande Mataram" might never have been written.

The controversy began with a cricket match in 1873, led by Colonel Duffin, the commanding officer of the Berhampur Cantonment. On the evening of December 15, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, then Deputy Collector of Murshidabad district, was returning home in his palki. Unknown to him, the palki bearers took a shortcut through the cricket ground, disrupting the game. In a fit of rage, Colonel Duffin stopped the palki, dragged Bankim Babu out, and punched him four or five times.

The incident occurred in front of several prominent individuals, including Principal Robert Hand, Reverend Barlow, Judge Bainbridge, Raja Jogendra Narayan Ray of Lalgola, Durgacharan Bhattacharya, and several other British and Indian dignitaries.

Bankim Babu filed a case in court, seeking justice for the insult. On December 16, 1873, he filed a complaint against Colonel Duffin in the court of District Magistrate Mr. Winter in Murshidabad. Witnesses were called, but most British officers denied the incident. However, Principal Robert Hand, Raja Jogendra Narayan Ray, and Durgacharan Bhattacharya testified in Bankim Babu's favor.

The next hearing was scheduled for January 12, 1874. On that morning, thousands of Indian and European spectators gathered in court. During the hearing, Judge Bainbridge called the magistrate to his chamber and requested Bankim Babu to withdraw the case. Initially, he refused, but later agreed on the condition that Colonel Duffin apologize publicly. Eventually, Colonel Duffin apologized in court with folded hands.

The Indian youth erupted in applause, laughter, and "Ho-Ho" slogans. The British officers, enraged by the court's decision, secretly planned to assassinate Bankim Babu. Learning of this, Raja Jogendra Narayan Ray invited Bankim Babu to Lalgola, where he relocated in January 1874.

In Lalgola, Bankim Babu visited the Jagaddhatri, Durga, and Kali temples. There, he pondered how to unite India against British rule with a single "mantra". Finally, on January 31, 1874, on the night of Maghi Purnima, he composed the 12-letter "Vande Mataram", igniting patriotism in Indians and striking fear into the British.

Later, parts of his novel "Anandamath" were published in the Bangadarshan magazine (Vol 7) in 1881, and the full book was released in 1882. The British pressured Bankim Babu to change the novel's content, leading to his voluntary retirement from government service in 1885-86.

Even 145 years later, "Vande Mataram" continues to evoke patriotism in us! This incident proves how insult, the fight for justice, and the desire for freedom gave birth to "Vande Mataram". Today, this song still ignites the flame of patriotism in our hearts. Vande Mataram! 🌹 (Collected)

History of India-on 2005 the Taj Mahal was given to the Waqf

History of India:-In 2005, when Mulayam Singh Yadav was in power in Uttar Pradesh and Manmohan Singh was at the center, the Taj Mahal was given to the Waqf. What happened next? How was the Taj Mahal saved from becoming private property?

The most interesting battle for the Muslim vote is between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party. Due to this, the Taj Mahal became private property, meaning it was a Waqf property, for a short time.

During the UPA regime, the Waqf Act, Jamia as a Muslim University, Muslim reservations, the Minority Ministry, and Ranganath and Sachar were being implemented to appease Muslims. Then, the SP government in UP stepped forward and said, "We will give the Taj Mahal to the Waqf!"

On July 13, 2005, a formal order was passed by the UP Sunni Waqf Board. The Chairman's instructions were sent to the CEO of the Waqf Board. The Taj Mahal was registered as a Waqf property. The Taj Mahal became private.

At this time, the Chairman of the UP Sunni Waqf Board, Hafiz Usman, was a Samajwadi Party MLA. He also served as the President of the Aligarh Muslim University Students Union.

Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav said, "The state government will not interfere in the Waqf Board's affairs."

He added, "Those with complaints should go to court."

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) rushed to the Supreme Court. Congress leader Salman Khurshid later stood up to represent the Waqf Board.

The Supreme Court asked the Waqf Board, "Where are the documents proving that Shah Jahan owned the Taj Mahal? He will give the Taj Mahal to the Waqf only when he becomes its owner. The documents will have to be produced."

The Chief Justice said, "We need a document with Shah Jahan's handwriting and signature proving that he gave the property to the Waqf. When did he sign it while he was in jail? Where is his will?"

If the documents were not available, the Waqf Board's order was stayed.

Will the common man be able to approach the Supreme Court against such claims by the Waqf Board?

In 2018, the UP Waqf Board withdrew its claim, narrowly escaping the Taj Mahal from becoming private property. With the change of government, the atmosphere had changed.

A strange story is unfolding in the country.

The land is Indian. The marble is Indian. All the artisans are Indian. The sweat was shed by local people. The construction costs were paid for by the taxes of local farmers.

But did the property become Shah Jahan's? Shah Jahan didn't register the land in his name.

Indeed, a large part of the country was under the control of the emperors. What if they had given the entire country to the Waqf Board?

No one loses anything by making a claim. Tomorrow, a claim will be made on the Red Fort. Congress has passed a law in favor of the Waqf Board. It has been given unlimited power.

India's historical buildings of national importance are not private property, but the property of the Indian people.

The Taj Mahal is government property by a government order dated November 18, 1920. The Indian government has acquired this property from the British governmen
