Supreme Court Justice U U Lalit said – children can go to school at 7 o’clock, so why can’t the judge come to the court at 9 o’clock

If children can go to school at 7 in the morning, why can’t judges and lawyers start their work from 9 o’clock? This comment has been made by Supreme Court Justice U U Lalit. He made the remarks after the Supreme Court started the hearing ahead of schedule on Friday.

To this Justice Lalit replied that I have always been of the opinion that the court proceedings should start early. “Ideally we should start at 9 in the morning. Why can’t we start work at 9 am when seven children go to school in the morning,” he said.
