According to sources in the Supreme Court Registry, the Chief Justice gave instructions to make seating arrangements for the young lawyers.
Interrupting Solicitor General Tushar Mehta mid-hearing, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud on Tuesday made a case for stools for the junior lawyers standing behind the top lawyer.
"Mr Solicitor, all our young juniors stand day after day, I have been noticing, with their laptops in their hand. In the afternoon, the court master will see if he can accommodate them behind you immediately," the Chief Justice told Mr Mehta.
A nine-judge constitution bench, led by the Chief Justice, was hearing a batch of appeals on whether states have the legislative power to regulate sale and manufacture of industrial alcohol after a seven-judge constitution bench held against them in 1990.
