During the hearing, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma expressed frustration over what she described as shifting stands taken by Yadav regarding payment of the dues.
“Never think the judge is weak if the judge is nice to you,” the Court remarked at one point during the proceedings.
The observation came after the Court noted contradictions between submissions made by Yadav and the arguments advanced by his counsel.
“You are saying you are willing to pay, but your lawyers are saying that since you have already gone to jail, you will not pay. If you are willing to pay, then why am I hearing the matter? Make the payment,” said the Court.
Yadav sought 30 days time to pay ₹6 crore and settle the dispute but the judge refused to grant the same.
“No means no. I will reserve (for judgment). I will not give more time,” Justice Sharma said.
