Registrar should be promoted fir his well reasoned refusal.
Here also saved CJI from major embarrassment.
See how the two judges passed the buck to CJI.
Abhisex Singhvi got his comeuppance.
Now he won't get paid in crypto nor get RS seat in lieu of the payment.

All with one para refusal!!!

It's quite disturbing that Raga is openly threatening violence if INDI doesn't win. Have to see about that.
