Justice Vikram Nath made a light-hearted remark in court after Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal narrated how a High Court ignored the Supreme Court’s stay, saying, “He’s a practical judge, knows nothing happens in Supreme Court,” sparking laughter in the courtroom.
A Supreme Court lawyer was given 30 seconds to talk about anything other than his case after the bench had already closed the matter. When he tried to mention a legal precedent, the judges politely reminded him that the decision was final.
The High Court Bar Association is advocating for the appointment of local lawyers as judges in order to better represent the local legal community and address regional issues. They also outlined demands for advocate protection, medical insurance, and infrastructure support, which received positive feedback from the Union Law Minister.
