NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud reprimanded senior advocate Mathews Nedumpara after a heated exchange during a hearing on electoral bonds on Monday.
"Don't shout at me," the CJI said, adding, "This is not a Hyde Park corner meeting, you are in the court."
Nedumpara was questioning the SC's ruling, stating that "the entire electoral bond judgement was delivered behind the citizens back."
This prompted disagreements from the bench and when CJI tried to intervene the lawyer continued arguing over him and raised his voice, prompting a stern reaction from the CJI.

"You want to move an application, file an application. You have got my decision as Chief Justice, we are not hearing you," the CJI added.
The Supreme Court pulled up the State Bank of India for not disclosing all the details related to electoral bonds, calling its attitude "unacceptable".
The 5-judge bench led by CJI D Y Chandrachud directed the directed SBI chairman to file an affidavit by Thursday 5pm, confirming that all details of the Electoral Bonds including the unique alphanumeric and serial numbers of redeemed bonds have been disclosed.
