[25/11, 15:21] Sekarreporter: “Who is responsible for 90,000 pendency in this court?” – #SupremeCourt pulls up lawyer for requesting time in order to seek instructions from client in a case.

Bench: Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice R Mahadevan.
[25/11, 15:21] Sekarreporter: J. BV Nagarathna: Every time we ask a question the counsel will say I have to seek instructions, adjournment. The pendency of this court is 90,000. Who is responsible for it? It will cross a lakh.
[25/11, 15:21] Sekarreporter: J Nagarathna: This is not the kind of assistance we should get from counsels. We asked a simple question – what is the stand of your party, whether she is interested in the marriage or not. That should be the first question you must ask the party.
[25/11, 15:22] Sekarreporter: J Nagarathna: No doubt adjournment may be to the benefit of the advocates but it is not assisting the litigants in any way. We are sorry to say this.
