CJI DY Chandrachud loses his calm at SCBA President Vikas Singh in the #SCBA land allotment matter.

Vikas Singh: I don't want to take this to the judges' resident.

CJI DY Chandrachud: Is it a way to behave? I will not be cowered down like this. Sit down.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia Image
CJI DY Chandrachud: Please don't raise your voice. This is not the way to behave as the President of SCBA. You're asking for a land allotted to the SC to be given to the bar. I have made my decision. It will be taken on 17th and it will not be first on board.

#SupremeCourt
Singh: Just because the bar doesn't do anything doesn't mean it should be taken for granted. I feel strongly for this. 20 years lawyers have been waiting to be allotted chambers.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt
CJI DY Chandrachud: Mr Singh, I am the Chief Justice of India. I have been on the bench for long. I have never let myself be brow beaten by bar members and I will not let it happen in the final 2 years of my life.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt
CJI DY Chandrachud: You will be treated as an ordinary litigant. Please don't force my hand to do something you don't want.

Black sheep have to be dealt with immediately in order to protect the legal profession -

#SupremeCourt remarks while hearing a case in which a lawyer was blacklisted by a bank for alleged fraud and the bank communicated to other banks that the lawyer is not trustworthy. Image
Court to BCI: has the BCI ever done an impact assessment of itself and the State Bar Councils? How long does it take for a client to get remedy against professional misconduct of a lawyer? How quickly and efficiently are you taking care of the complaints?
Court: there are elections after elections. What is the impact for a client? The remedies are so narrow down. Other statutory remedies (like consumer protection) are reduced for the stakeholders which are the clients.
