"I Am Allergic To 'Yeah'": Chief Justice's Language Rap To Lawyer In Court

The lawyer sought an in-house inquiry against former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today pulled up a lawyer for using the informal 'yeah' to address the bench and said he is "allergic" to the expression. He also reminded the lawyer that he was in the courtroom, not a cafe.
The lawyer filed a petition in 2018, seeking an in-house inquiry against former Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi. "But is it an Article 32 plea? how can you file a PIL with a judge as a respondent," Chief Justice DY Chandrachud asked. Article 32 of the Constitution guarantees citizens the right to seek constitutional remedies when their fundamental rights are violated.
In response, the lawyer said, "Yeah, yeah the then CJI Ranjan Gogoi... I was asked to file a curative..." The Chief Justice cut him short. "This is not a coffee shop! what is this yeah yeah. I am very allergic to this yeah yeah. This cannot be allowed."
