A disagreement between 2 justices in a division Bench of the Gujarat High Court

The hearing was also being streamed online!

Karnavati (Gujarat) – A Bench of Justice Biren Vaishnav and female Justice Mouna Bhatt had an argument during a hearing in the Gujarat High Court. As cameras were installed in this room of the Court for online hearings, this dispute was seen online. It was also broadcast on the Court’s YouTube channel. Due to the dispute, the hearing was stopped and the video was removed from YouTube. Due to this disparity, both the judges were appointed to hear different cases. Therefore, on 25th October, they met with other judges.

Currently, the video of the Justice’s dispute is being circulated on social media. If Justice Vaishnav agreed to an order, then it was not acceptable to Justice Bhatt.

Following was the conversation between the two –

Justice Vaishnav : So you are different. We are different from each other and can be.

Justice Bhatt : It is not a question of separateness.

Justice Vaishnav : Then you don’t talk. You draw a separate order. Now we cannot do more hearings.

Once this was done, both of them got up and left the room.
