CJI puts his foot down; says if case is listed before a judge, the judge takes the call to hear it or not

Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud categorically said on Wednesday he will not intervene to shift cases already listed for hearing before a Supreme Court judge.

“If the case is listed before a judge, the judge will take a call. I will not say anything,” the Chief Justice said emphatically.

The CJI was responding to an urgent oral mentioning made by former Delhi Minister Satyender Jain’s lawyer, represented by senior advocate A.M. Singhvi, in the morning about the listing of his bail petition in the Delhi liquor policy case before a Bench headed by Justice Bela M. Trivedi on December 14.
