"We are not here to generate revenue for the lawyers": CJI DY Chandrachud refuses to mark appearance of lawyer who did not appear


The Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Friday took exception to a lawyer insisting that the name of an advocate be included in the order sheet of a case as having appeared in the matter. The bench headed by CJI Chandrachud said that courts cannot mark the appearance of an advocate, if he or she has not actually appeared in the case. Even though the lawyer insisted, the CJI refused stating that he remembers who had appeared in the matter and that the court was not there to generate revenue for lawyers.
