Justice Bindal in a serious tone asked the counsel if he was appearing on behalf of the police. No, said the counsel, adding he was for one of the respondents in the matter. The courtroom burst into laughter as Justice Bindal repeated the query: “Are you appearing for some police organisations? Normally they appear after everything is over.”Power ParadeIt was a parade of power suits and tense expressions in Court No. 3 of the Supreme Court on Monday, as over 30 Chief Secretaries from across India stood in the visitors’ gallery.
