A Delhi court has directed the police to start a new probe in the 2011 case related to an audio CD allegedly containing a telephone conversation of former law minister Shanti Bhushan, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh.

The Chief Justice is the "master of the roster" and has the power to assign cases, the Supreme Court ruled today in a petition by former law minister Shanti Bhushan.

Whether cases should be assigned by the Chief Justice of India or by a collegium or panel of top judges will be examined by the Supreme Court on April 27. The court will take up a petition filed by former law minister Shanti Bhushan, which suggests that the Chief Justice of India must not have absolute power as "master of roster".

Former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan has said that the power to assign cases must be given to a collegium or panel of senior judges. He has also said his petition should not be heard by the Chief Justice and that it should be taken up by three most senior judges.

Government's move to do away with a colonial penal law that prosecutes a person for a failed suicide bid has evoked sympathetic views from legal experts, who favoured its abolition saying the provision is "archaic and outdated" and has led to no conviction in 156 years.

Hitting back at Swaraj Abhiyan leaders Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today claimed that they were opposing the Janlokpal Bill at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and asserted that the proposed legislation was similar to the one tabled by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during his previous 49-day tenure.

Swaraj Abhiyaan leaders senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan and his father, former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan, trashed the AAP government's Lokpal Bill, describing it as 'shocking' and 'a big joke'.

Accusing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership of suspending over 40 members ahead of the National Council meeting on Monday, dissident AAP leader Shanti Bhushan today said the action was against the party's constitution and threatened to take legal recourse.

Ahead of Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) National Council meeting next week, the party has sent out an invite to dissident Shanti Bhushan even as his son Prashant Bhushan claimed many leaders were being suspended before the event and questioned the transparency in the organisation.

Training his guns at the dissident duo of Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan, Aam Aadmi party (AAP) leader Ashish Khetan today said he will not spare them for levelling baseless allegations against him.

'The initial few months were great. We all were comrades in arms, but during the parliamentary elections, I could sense a tension which grew after the humiliating debacle and turned into an open fissure.'

Ousted members of AAP's PAC Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan today rebutted the allegations of anti-party activities levelled against them by the party's top brass and raised questions about the 'unilateral decisions' by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
