Supreme Court CJI Bench sternly refuses to allow Mukul Rohatgi's arguments in Electoral Bonds Case

On Monday, during the hearing in the Electoral Bonds case, the Supreme Court five judge bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud sternly refused to allow arguments by Senior Advocate Mukul Rohtagi on an urgent plea filed by leading industry bodies ASSOCHAM, FICCI and CII. CJI DY Chandrachud told Mukul Rohatgi "Your application is not numbered, it's not registered. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! Just because you're appearing for a big client, we will not tolerate this. You have to follow the rules in my court!" He further said "The whole world knew this matter is being heard... you come after the judgment is delivered... that's not the way! If I do it for Mr Rohatgi, the Senior Counsel, as Chief Justice, I will not have the face to tell all other juniors to whom I deny oral mentioning in the morning. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I've made myself clear." Watch the full exchange!

Thank God for sending Judge like this ❤

[ganeshav]

CJI is right. The intervention should have come long ago. The businesses sure do have a valid point in regard to confidentiality on which basis they acted, but they should have intervened right at the time of interim order in 2019.

[ionabalantyne]

Our Honourable CJI should be One of election❤ commissioner

[kulwinderkuls]

[nirmalkumar]

Really good to record these events, shows the thinking of judges and court

[Dynamite_mohit]

summary:
lawyer: sir, ek chota sa kaam hai
CJI: follow the procedure, we are live.
lawyer: sir, kisi ko nahi malum chalega
CJI: jyada bakchodi nahi, procedure follow kar.

[anandshetye]

Insisting for approval but not ready to follow a procedure, has the lawyer a knowledgeable person have right to his claim of approval persistently putting in? It just seems like one for whom he is representing is having anxious time... 😊

It doesn't matter if you came from Kerala or Maldives. It matters if you did the right thing (filed an application).
