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.”
