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.
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.
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.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal: anyway when she goes abroad she will have to take your lordships permission. But she was saying that her renewal is coming up in a year so she needs passport for that.

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.
