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.

#Breaking Karnataka HC holds 'Right to Menstrual Leave' as a facet of 'Right to Life'.
"...Men and women stand equal in the eyes of the law; yet, they are biologically distinct. To acknowledge such differences, particularly in matters concerning health, dignity, and bodily autonomy, is not to transgress the guarantee of equality, but to give it substantive meaning", order reads.
"....While the organized sectors may be regulated through Government orders and legislative intervention, the unorganized sector requires a more
facilitative mechanism. However beyond regulatory
frameworks, what remains imperative is, a sustained and pervasive effort to sensitize all segments of society, reaching every corner of the State to foster awareness, empathy and compliance."
"...Menstruation, often referred to as periods, is not an
aberration, but a natural and indispensable facet of women’s reproductive cycle. It is a recurring monthly phenomenon wherein, the body governed by delicate hormonal rhythms sheds the uterine lining resulting in bleeding, that typically endures for 3 to 7 days. Yet beyond its clinical description lies a lived experience, one that may be accompanied by discomfort, fatigue, and emotional upheavals...", the court notes in the order.
