it’s not good practice
The case was heard in the bench of CJI DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha. The CJI said, ‘You should have gone to the High Court. Why are you seeking bail directly from the Supreme Court. Why did you come here under Article 32, it is not a good and healthy practice.
Singhvi asked for time, but CJI refused
On this, the senior counsel asked the court for three minutes to speak. But the CJI refused to hear. He said that whatever you want to say, tell it to the High Court. We will not listen. Justice Narasimha said that the matter is of Delhi. It does not mean that you should directly approach the Supreme Court.
