A law student, Monila Chaskar, shares an exciting courtroom story of Madras High Court. The Madras High Court began hearing cases only through video conference facility because of COVID-19. Humour in court has gone to a different level.
Recently, an Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) asked a judge if she was audible enough.
Judge: Yes, yes. You are very much audible like Ceylon Radio.
APP: I am unable to hear Your Lordship properly.
Judge: That is because I am sitting in my residence. Howsoever high a person may be; he must maintain silence when his wife is around.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The judge had another witty repartee just a day earlier. When a lawyer wanted to know if he was visible on the screen,
Judge: Yes, of course. You are visible in Eastman Colour.
Lawyer: Your Lordship is not visible to me.
Judge: That’s because of my complexion. This is the maximum you can see of me.
All in a lighter vein.
Judgement still awaited.
