The bench made the observation while hearing a plea filed by a man seeking to make his sister a respondent to his petition.
The plea sought execution of an award granted by a lower court with regard to the family property.
The man informed the bench that there is no clarity yet as to whether his sister had relinquished her right in the award as the relinquish deed had not been registered.
The bench sought to know if the person who who is said to have relinquished the right, is a brother or a sister.
“She is the sister,” the counsel responded.
To this, the CJ quipped,
“You may not be willing to give anything to her now, right? Shaadi ho gya behen ka toh ab kyu du kuch bhi (Since sister has married why should I give anything now).”
This mindset should go, the CJ said.
The bench adjourned the matter for three weeks.
