In a striking exchange in the Supreme Court today, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud reprimanded a lawyer who had checked with the court master regarding the details of an order he had dictated. "How dare you ask the court master what I dictated in court? Tomorrow, you will come to my house and ask my personal secretary what I am doing. Lawyers have lost all sense of decorum," he asserted.

Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized his authority, stating, "I am still in charge, though for a short time."

He warned against similar "funny tricks" in the future, highlighting the gravity of courtroom conduct as his tenure approaches its conclusion on November 10, when Justice Sanjiv Khanna will succeed him.
