CJI said – Lawyer should speak slowly, otherwise I will throw you out, in 23 years of career no one could suppress him with a loud voice, this will not happen in future also
Supreme Court Chief Justice (CJI) DY Chandrachud got angry at a lawyer. The lawyers spoke loudly to the CJI regarding the listing of a petition. On this, Chandrachud reprimanded the lawyer and said – You should talk in a lower voice, otherwise I will get you thrown out of the court.
CJI told the lawyer- One second, first lower your voice. You are standing in the Supreme Court and expressing your views. If you think that you can scare the court by speaking loudly, then you are wrong. No one has ever talked to me like this in my 23 years of career. I will not let this happen even in the remaining one year of my career.
The Chief Justice told the lawyer- You should know where you are standing. Do you yell at Justice like this every time? After the Chief Justice’s warning, the lawyer immediately apologized and politely presented his views before the court.
