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.

We wrote letter to Serum Institute. Reply was Covid-19 was being considered to be the cause of MISS
J Nath: What relief are you claiming here?
Gonsalves: When we filed, we wanted independent experts to find out the truth. 4 yrs pass then. People come to know petition is pending here. We came across 100s of parents in identical situation. We put case studies of 40-50 other children dying in similar circumstances. First issue is - refusal to give adverse events/effects of the vaccine.
