Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Tuesday told a lawyer not to play with my authority. He also reprimanded the lawyer for this. Actually, the lawyer was trying to get the date of hearing of a case in the court soon. But the Chief Justice said that the matter is already listed for hearing on April 17. On this, the lawyer demanded the Chief Justice to place the matter before another bench.
Chief Justice said – don’t play this trick with me
The Chief Justice asked the lawyer that you have been given 17th date for the hearing of the case. But you want to take this matter before another bench to get 14th date. If the matter is listed for the 17th, then the hearing will be held on the 17th itself. Don’t play this trick with me. You came here for the first date and now cannot take the matter anywhere else.
And according to the reports, after the Chief Justice’s rebuke, the lawyer asked the CJI to forgive me, Lord.
The CJI had told Vikas Singh in a loud voice, ‘Don’t threaten a Chief Justice like this. Is this your behaviour?’
Senior advocate Vikas Singh was also reprimanded
