To give perspective, the guj cjs courtroom is about 4x the size of the Bombay cjs court. Today this courtroom was packed completely- no place to stand and AC s weren't working for some reason....ofcourse there were still people trying to get inside.
Matter was eventually referred to larger bench . Jai ho
