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.

#SupremeCourt holds that Section 60(4) of Code on Social Security, 2020 depriving maternity benefits to mothers who adopted of children aged than 3 months is violative of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution.

The Court also urged the Union of India to come out with the provision recognising paternity leave as a social security benefit, with duration of leave to be determined in a manner responsive to the needs of both the parent and the child.
