This wasn’t the first time that CJI DY Chandrachud had a heated exchange with the lawyer. During the NEET-UG hearing on Tuesday, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud ordered the security personnel present in the Supreme Court to remove a senior advocate from the courtroom. The lawyer, however, left of his own accord after being sternly warned by the judge. The CJI had criticised senior advocate Mathews Nedumpara for interrupting another lawyer during the NEET-UG hearing. Justice Chandrachud asked Nedumpara not to interrupt senior advocate Narendra Hooda, who was representing a petitioner in the case, reported India Today. Nedumpara, per the channel, interjected Hooda, saying he had to say something. The CJI advised him to speak after Hooda completed his argument. Responding to the CJI’s direction, Nedumpara claimed he was the senior-most lawyer in the courtroom. Miffed with the lawyer’s behaviour, the CJI warned him against playing to the gallery. He also reminded the lawyer that he was the in-charge of the court. “Call the security… have him removed,” the CJI said.
