The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) on Wednesday expressed concern over an exchange between Supreme Court judge justice Arun Mishra and senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, urging the judge to “be little bit more patient in dealing with lawyers”.
SCAORA, an association of lawyers eligible to file cases in the Supreme Court, said in a resolution that several lawyers have repeatedly raised grievances about “unwanted treatment” by the SC judge.
On Tuesday, justice Mishra, who is heading a five-judge Constitution bench hearing land acquisition cases, was hearing Sankaranarayanan’s arguments in the matter when the senior advocate presented an interpretation of a particular law. Justice Mishra, however, said the point would be repetitive since other senior advocates also mentioned it, and asked Sankaranarayanan to move on to the main argument.
