Pray To God, Said Lawyer In Supreme Court. Judge's Answer Was...

Justice DY Chandrachud, during a hearing on a bail request, remarked that he prayed to God vaccinations for all were done at the earliest so the Supreme Court could go back to physical hearings.

At a time vaccination has become critical to the country's struggle to return to normal after Covid, a senior Supreme Court judge sent "prayers to God" at a hearing today. Justice DY Chandrachud, during a hearing on a bail request, remarked that he prayed to God vaccinations for all were done at the earliest so the Supreme Court could go back to physical hearings. He was responding to the petitioner's lawyer commenting: "I will pray to God so that next time when this case comes up there will be a physical hearing in the Supreme Court." Justice Chandrachud, sitting beside Justice MR Shah, instantly replied: "Pray to God that vaccination for everyone is done as soon as possible and then only we will have physical hearing."
