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.
