The matter, which had not been listed for six previous hearings, was again not listed when Singh mentioned it on March 2.
When the CJI informed Singh that it would be listed in the ordinary course, the SCBA President threatened to escalate the matter and even suggested visiting the Chief Justice’s residence.
In response, the CJI raised his voice and ordered Singh to leave the court immediately. He asserted that he would not be intimidated and that Singh would be treated only like any other litigant.
“You cannot expect the bench to be cowered down. I have never been browbeaten and I will not let this happen in final two years of my career…you can pursue your political agendas outside the court hall,” the CJI had said curtly.
