"Lower Your Pitch": Chief Justice Rebukes Lawyer, He Apologises | Read
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today asked a lawyer to lower his voice and asked if he was addressing the judges or the gallery outside the court. The three-judge bench, also comprising Justice Manoj Misra and Justice JB Pardiwala, was hearing the Kolkata doctor's rape and murder case that has shaken the nation.
During the arguments, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal said he had videos and photographs to show that the lawyer was throwing stones at a protest over the August 9 incident at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The lawyer is Advocate Kaustav Bagchi, also a BJP leader. He switched from the Congress to the BJP earlier this year.
