Mukul Rohatgi said during the hearing that my lord you are taking all the security measures and are happy to hear that. Then Justice Arun Mishra said that you are also happy to see that you are connected to your Chamber through video conferencing. Significantly, the Chambers were closed in the Supreme Court due to Corona which was opened on Friday after which the lawyers are appearing from their Chambers only through video conferencing.

On this, Mukul Rohatgi understood the urgency of the occasion and then said that My Lord, I have now started advocating for the poor. Now the legal fraternity has changed. We fight for the poor. In fact, Mukul Rohatgi is one of the most expensive lawyers in the country and when he pleaded that his client is poor, the situation became such that the judge smiled.
