Me: “my lord the position of law is such that the judge ought not to have entertained the plea as the lis is barred by law”
Court: “maybe. Stay on deposit (in crores)”
Me: “it is the law”
Court : “maybe but it is the court’s discretion to impose conditions for stay”
Another day, same court and I’m on the opposite side
Me: “My lord, the prayer maybe barred but that will have to be decided later as this Court held few days back”
Court: “maybe but then let’s ask them to pay if at all you succeed, discretion remember? We get wise”
Me: slow claps (in my head)!
