In a break from his rigorous schedule, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud was spotted taking a stroll around the Supreme Court campus. During his walk, he interacted with media personnel and also accepted their invitation to visit the press lounge later.
After a hearing, the five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court suddenly decided to take a break. The Chief Justice entered the premises of the Supreme Court along with his fellow judges. Justice Hrishikesh Roy, Justice PS Narasimha, Justice Pankaj Mittal and Justice Manoj Mishra accompanied Chandrachud on the walk.
They first visited the cafeteria and enjoyed samosas and coffee before going outside to check the status of the new electronic passes. These passes will soon be mandatory to enter the Supreme Court premises.
Chief Justice Chandrachud interacted with the media while returning to his chambers.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court asked the government on Wednesday whether a change in the law is warranted on the legal question of whether a person who holds a light motor vehicle license is entitled to legally drive a transport vehicle of a certain weight.
Noting that these are policy issues affecting the livelihoods of millions of people, the five-judge Constitution bench said the government should look at the matter with a “fresh set of eyes”, while maintaining that it should be addressed at the policy level.
