C.J.I. did not appreciate the conduct of Advocate Koustav Bagchi
The bench asked the W.B. government not to act against the protesting doctors if they resume their duties by 5 P.M. tomorrow.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal undertook that no action would be taken, after which Advocate Bagchi interjected.
When Advocate Bagchi raised his voice against the argument of Advocate Kapil Sibal, the C.J.I. asked him whether he was trying to address the gallery outside.
C.J.I. asked him to lower his pitch as the address is being made to the judges and not to the people watching through video conferencing.
After this, Advocate Koustav expressed an apology.
