A matter from 2012 reaches the Supreme Court Bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant and Vikram Nath

Counsel seeks time
DYC J: It's a 2012 matter, let's start.The problem is these matters take a long time to reach. You saw in the morning we had 1 heavy matter which took 3 hours.

DYC : the greatest difficulty for a judge of the supreme court is not to decide a case but to get lawyers to argue it.
Counsels for both sides seek one week's time.

DYC, J : why should we grant you one more week

Kant, J : Are you even serious about this matter after 10 years?
SC : We will take it up in two weeks.
