New Delhi: Outgoing Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, who is known for his landmark judgements and eloquent speeches mixed with poetic twist, was at his poetic best when he responded to his trolls by quoting Urdu poet Bashir Badr. Quoting the famous Urdu poet, the CJI trolled the trollers in his unique style, saying, “Mukhalfat se meri shakhsiyat sanwarti hai, main dushmano ka bada ehtiraam karta hun (Opposition improves my personality, I respect my enemies a lot).”

CJI Chandrachud was speaking at his farewell event organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association, when he talked about his trolls and memes on a lighter note. The house burst into laughter when he said, “I am probably the most trolled judge across the system.”

Notably, CJI DY Chandrachud is set to retire from the service on November 10.
