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 expresses displeasure over delays by HCs in dealing with bail matters
CJI: this is happening despite the detailed timelines on the matter keep in view the nature of the reliefs
CJI: it seems that those orders passed by this court have not been able to bring the desired sensitivity
CJI: due to which the HCs have apparently not evolved any robut mechanism for time-bound adjudication of the bail matters
CJI: we are cognisant of the fact that the listing and prioritisation of matter for listing is the exclusive prerogative of the CJs of HCs, however if the people are languing in jail, their bail applications are not even being heard, and with complete uncertainty as to when they will be able to know the fate of their application, it seems that this court is under a bounden duty to lay down certain mandatory guidelines

SG: the approximate siphoning of the funds in 40,000 crores
CJI: one thing disturbing is , CBI says that on the basis one bank's complaint, FIR is constituted
SG: first FIR comes from SBI, thereafter other banks also came foward
CJI: nature of offense may be the same, but the complainants are different, the manner of transactions are different, ultimately it will constitute seperate offences, why are they not registering those
