On Tuesday, Supreme Court Judge, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, clarified that the oral remarks made during the course of the hearing are merely for opening up channels for deliberation and ought not to be treated as judgments of the Court. The Judge was concerned that the social media users often fail to appreciate the difference between the two.
"When we say it will serve it we are not saying that it is our judgment. Social media thinks that every time we say something in Court, it is the judgment. That is only an open process of dialogue, so that you can tell us that we are right or wrong."
Justice Chandrachud had elucidated on this issue, during the course of the hearing of the plea seeking permission to amend the constitution of the Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI).
