What did CJI say about screening?
According to a Bar and Bench report, the plan to screen the movie Missing Ladies in the Supreme Court auditorium came to CJI’s wife Kalpana Das when she watched the movie with the staff. According to the report, CJI said about the screening of the movie Missing Ladies, “This is an initiative to sensitize the employees of the Supreme Court, that is why the screening is going to be held in the auditorium. There are many things in the Supreme Court that are not publicized. Like now we also have a 24-hour Ayurvedic clinic inside the Supreme Court for the treatment and rest of the employees. So this screening is also for mutual bonding among our members.”
