NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India (CJI) S A Bobde on Wednesday said the judges and the lawyers should not wear coat and gown for the time being as they make it “easier to catch virus”.
The statement to this effect by the CJI came, while he was holding the hearing through video conferencing, in a case in which arguments were being made by senior advocate Kapil Sibal.
The CJI, who was sharing dais with Justices Indu Malhotra and Hrishikesh Roy, said the Apex Court may soon come out with instructions on the dress code for lawyers and the judges. (AGENCIES)
