New Delhi: Heated exchanges among senior advocates Dushyant Dave, Pallav Sisodia and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud marred the day’s proceedings in the Supreme Court hearing the petitions seeking an SIT probe into the death of Judge B.H. Loya.
Mr Dave intervened and told the court that the purpose of filing this petition by Mr. Sisodia was to prevent a hearing of the petition filed in Bombay High Court. He objected to Mr Sisodia and Mr Salve appearing for BJP President Amit Shah and now appearing for other parties.
He said, “the Bar Council of India has issued notice to me for misconduct for raising voice of truth while people who have indulged in misconduct like them get away. I won’t be cowed down.”
Mr Sisodia turned towards Mr. Dave sand said, “Dave, we don’t care what you say... you can go to hell or heaven or wherever you want.”
Justice Chandrachud then turned to Mr. Sisodia and said, “Even your language was improper. Courtesy begets courtesy.”
Mr Salve said, “Sometimes courtesy does not beget courtesy.”
However, Mr Sisodia expressed his sincere apologies.
Mr Dave said, “It is disappointing that the State is opposing the probe. And what is even more disappointing is that all those who are appearing for the State today appeared for Mr. Amit Shah. But your Lordships don’t want to hear that.”
Earlier Mr Giri pressed for an independent probe saying there are inconsistencies in the discreet probe conducted by Maharashtra intelligence. He said the story presented by the state of Maharashtra does not inspire confidence and requires investigation.
