Vikas Singh says hospitals in Delhi are facing oxygen shortage, and court must look into inter-state issues. Haryana is not giving oxygen, he says

CJI : That is exactly what we are looking at.

Solicitor General : Chief Justice is retiring today. I genuinely feel he deserves a loving farewell. Senior Advocates must not give public statements on the basis of perceptions.

Dave : Mr. Mehta, you have been defending the government only on the basis of perceptions.

Vikas Singh : Solicitor General has said that no migrants were walking in the road and the Court has accepted.

Solicitor General : What is going on here?

Justice Rao : Senior lawyers have to protect the institution.

Dave : We feel institutions will be strengthened by objective criticism.

Justice Bhat : Mr.Dave, please. We did not say a word about the High Courts. We never stalled the High Courts from proceedings. We asked the Centre to approach High Courts.

Justice Nageswara Rao asks Dushyant Dave : Is this the way you respond? Imputing motives? Without reading the order?

Dave : It was not imputing order. We all thought your lordships was going to do it. It was a genuine perception. Your lordships have done it before.
