Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud pulled up senior advocate Mathews Nedumpara for interrupting the hearing of NEET-UG. Advocate Nedumpara interrupted the arguments of another senior advocate, Narender Hooda, saying, "May I answer Millord." To this, Chief Justice Chandrachud asked him to speak after Hooda completed his argument. Nedumpara challenged the Chief Justice, saying, "I am the seniormost here." This irked the Chief Justice, who warned Nedumpara, "I am warning you. You will not speak to the gallery. I am in charge of the court. Call the security... have him removed." The Chief Justice said, "I have seen judiciary for the last 24 years. I cannot let lawyers dictate procedure in this court." Nedumpara intervened, "I have seen it since 1979."

    Basic professionalism is lagging in Mr.Mathew as a lawyer.

  • @uzzalmazumder7428
    Don't respect Mr.Chanachur.....this court is a kangaroo Court. Tarikh pe Tarikh is their system.

    This advocate 's ego and arrogance have put the client's rights in jeopardy. No client should engage him hereafter, because his priority is his ego and not justice for the client

    This is the way Lawyers Respect the Highest Court of the Country. It's same for our parliament have anyone seen the same happening in USA ,UK , France, Germany ??

    Surprising that the Chief Justice let this arrogant lawyer go scot free after continuing to interrupt and then taunting the CJI. He should have been suspended from appearing in the Supreme court for three years. This just goes to show how influential lawyers who make lakhs for appearance in courts get preferential treatment.
