The Supreme Court on Friday expressed its shock at how a Madras High Court order seemed to have undergone a "substantial modification" from what was pronounced and signed by the judges in open court.
A Bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and B.V. Nagarathna described the turn of events as “very unusual”. It was taken aback when counsel for the petitioner side, senior advocate K. Subramaniam, contended that crucial parts of the order were “altered”.
