NEW DELHI: A heated exchange of words was witnessed in the Supreme Court on Thursday between Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Supreme Court Bar Association president Vikas Singh in a case related to allotment of land for lawyers’ chambers.
The latter said, “If the matter is not listed, I will have to escalate and take it to your lordships’ residence.”
Agitated, the CJI said, “Don’t threaten the Chief Justice… Please leave my court. I will not list like this. I will not be cowered down by you.”
