'My Credibility At Stake' : CJI DY Chandrachud Disapproves Of Different Lawyers Mentioning Same Case

The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today (October 1) expressed displeasure at the practice of repeated mentioning of same cases by different advocates.

"Stop this practice of repeated mentioning by different counsels. All of you are just trying to take a chance. Whatever little discretion I have as the CJI will never be exercised in your favour, because there is an attempt to take this court for a ride. Get three different counsels and see you know - the judge blinks and get an order- that's what is happening in this Court and I will not do it. Because my personal credibility is at stake, that I do not follow consistency in listing"
