A recent Supreme Court hearing had an unexpected dose of courtroom humour when senior advocate AM Singhvi appeared virtually with what seemed like a “headless” effect on screen.
The 3-judge bench was hearing petitions seeking a stay on the suo motu order passed by Justice JB Pardiwala’s bench earlier this week, which directed that no stray animals should roam freely in the National Capital Region (NCR).
During the virtual appearance, Justice Nath couldn’t help but notice the peculiar screen effect. “Why is your head cut off, Mr Singhvi?” he asked, bringing a brief moment of levity to the proceedings.
A smiling Singhvi replied, “It is the technology, Milord!”
The glitch was likely caused by a virtual filter that had inadvertently cropped the top portion of his head, creating the bizarre “headless” appearance on screen.
The incident served as a reminder that even in the most serious of court proceedings, technology can produce some unexpected—and slightly humorous—moments.
