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 CJI Surya Kant speaks against freebies :
Because of freebies, the entire country is...It is hightime States revisit these policies of distributing largesse...this will hamper the economic development of the country...how long this will go? : CJI Surya Kant.
What kind of culture are we developing? It is understandable, that as a welfare state, you want to provide relief to the marginalised. But without drawing any distinction between those who can afford and those who cannot afford, if you start giving,will it not amount to a sort of appeasing policy ? CJI Surya Kant.
Even if you are a revenue surplus state, is it not your obligation to spend that amount for the development of the overall public, to develop roads, hospitals, schools. Instead of that, you keep on distributing food, clothes, and people enjoy at the time of elections. What is happeniing in this country? : CJI Kant.
