In SC, annoyed Indira Jaising says she's a person in her own right after AG refers to her as ‘Anand Grover’s wife

New Delhi: “I am a person in my own right”, retorted senior advocate Indira Jaising while taking strong exception to Attorney General KK Venugopal’s comment in the Supreme Court on Thursday that she be referred to as the wife of senior counsel Anand Grover. The incident occurred before a bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra and Navin Sinha when Grover told the court that he was appearing for Jaising, who has filed an application seeking to intervene in the contempt petition filed by the Attorney General against activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan. [caption id=“attachment_2811832” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]File photo of Advocate Indira Jaising. Twitter@IJaising File photo of Advocate Indira Jaising. Twitter@IJaising[/caption] Justice Mishra asked Grover as to whom he was representing in the matter. When Grover said, “Ms Jaising”, Justice Mishra asked, “Not Indira Jaising?” Grover then clarified that he was appearing for her. At this juncture, Venugopal who was present in the court, said: “He (Grover) should say (he is appearing) for his wife.” To this, Jaising took umbrage at the comment and said, “Mr Attorney General you should withdraw his remark. I am a person in my own right”. Minutes later however, she said: “I am sorry that I lost my temper Mr Attorney. We identify as individual lawyers. We are not to be identified as somebody’s spouse or somebody’s wife or husband. We are maintaining our individuality. Hence, we chose not to change our names.” Jaising told the bench that she has filed an application to intervene in the matter as the court was dealing with the issue of whether lawyers and litigants can criticise the court proceedings in a sub-judice matter to influence public opinion. “I also write frequently. I am concerned and I must know the limit of law,” she said, adding, “It is my own choice as to who should represent me. Kindly allow Mr Grover to appear for me”. To this, the bench said, “Do not worry, we will hear everybody when we will hear the issue”. During the hearing, Bhushan admitted before the court that he had made a “genuine mistake” by tweeting that the government had perhaps submitted in the apex court fabricated documents of the high-powered selection panel on appointment of interim CBI chief. Bhushan however refused to tender an “unconditional apology” in the apex court for seeking recusal of Justice Arun Mishra from hearing the contempt petition filed against him by Attorney General. The bench has posted the matter for further hearing on 3 April.
