The Supreme Court, which witnessed high drama in the CBI case Tuesday, refused to hear any party which approached it for urgent hearing.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi refused to hear the mentioning done by lawyers seeking urgent hearing in their matters.
"It will be better if you don't mention anything today", the visibly upset CJI told lawyer Ashwini Upadhayay and others who were standing in the queue to mention their matters.
The CJI also refused to hear advocate Gopal Shankaranarayanan, who represents CBI Director Alok Verma, saying, "You don't utter a word today. We will not hear you."
To this, asking the court staff to take out the report, CJI said: "No Mr Nariman, there is second report also which was published yesterday. You please go through it."
"The efficiency of court staffs in court number one is of the highest level. You (court staff) all should quit."
However, the CJI observed, "We are not prepared to hear Mr Gopal Shankaranarayanan. We are prepared to hear Mr Nariman only. We want this place clear. As far as this court in concerned Mr Shankaranarayanan, nobody is under any cloud."
