CJI Chandrachud Rebukes Lawyer for Informal Language in Supreme Court
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud criticized a lawyer for using 'yeah' in court and demanded the removal of Justice Gogoi's name from a petition.
- Chief Justice DY Chandrachud reprimanded a lawyer for using the term 'yeah' during Supreme Court proceedings, stating it was inappropriate for a courtroom setting.
- The lawyer was addressing a petition that included former Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi as a respondent, which Chandrachud found unacceptable.
- The CJI emphasized that a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) cannot include a judge as a respondent and insisted on maintaining courtroom decorum.
- Chandrachud instructed the lawyer to remove Justice Gogoi's name from the petition and to submit a written statement confirming this action.
- The lawyer's petition stemmed from a previous dismissal of his plea by Justice Gogoi, which he claimed was based on an illegal statement.
