Three judges of the Supreme Court drew inspiration from the early hours school children keep and began work earlier than usual on Friday. Justices U.U. Lalit, S. Ravindra Bhat and Sudhanshu Dhulia started court at 9.30 a.m., a full hour before usual timings.
"If children can go to school at 7, we too can come to court at 9!" Justice Lalit explained to an appreciative crowd of lawyers in his courtroom.
The Supreme Court is known to have dismissed the clock on earlier occasions to get work done.
