Supreme Court judge Kurian Joseph bore the brunt of the traffic mess. His court begins at 10.30 am but it was delayed by half-an-hour today, lawyers said.
Proceedings in courts of several other judges were delayed as vehicles moved bumper-to-bumper on the roads, they said.
The VVIP movement and arrival of a large number of delegates at the food festival tied up traffic in Lutyens' Delhi, affecting vehicular movement on other roads as well, a senior traffic police official said.
