CJI asks squabbling lawyers to shut up

NEW DELHI: Unsavoury scenes were witnessed in the Supreme Court when some lawyers got agitated and started shouting at each other to get the attention of the Chief Justice’s bench, leading Chief Justice of India TS Thakur to lose his cool and ask them to “shut up” or get thrown out. “Shut up. Why are you shouting? Is this a court or a fish market? Shut up I say. I will get you thrown out. There has to be some dignity of the court. People who do not conduct themselves in the courtroom want to become senior lawyers,” he said.
