NEW DELHI, Dec. 14, 2023 (TBINN)
It is very easy to fling allegations and letters, an anguished Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said while clarifying that the bail plea of A.A.P. leader Satyendar Kumar Jain in a money laundering case was listed before a bench headed by Justice Bela M. Trivedi as Justice A.S. Bopanna was unavailable due to illness.
Justice Chandrachud made the remark in the context of an unsavoury row that has erupted in the top court after two senior members of the Bar-Dushyant Dave and Prashant Bhushan wrote separate letters to him voicing their angst over certain happenings in the listing of cases and their reallocation to benches other than those that were supposed to hear them.
Earlier in the day, the C.J.I. refused to allow the prayer made by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Satyebder Jain, to adjourn the hearing of former Delhi minister’s petition by a bench headed by Justice Trivedi, saying the Judge concerned will take the decision.
