Justice SS Shinde to a party in person: “Whenever you are making submission, your form is supposed to be polite. Please don’t think that if you are on VC, you can use any language or argue in any manner!”
Shinde’s statements came after the party in person respondent kept interrupting the Court while the Court was putting questions to him.
