| New Delhi, Aug 15: Gujarat, the home state of Mahatma Gandhi, is the only state that officially practises prohibition. But the picture on the ground is different -- as it appeared a little before Justice Aftab Alam and Justice R.M. Lodha could adorn the bench to hear the Sohrabuddin Sheikh murder case.
Senior counsel present were discussing how one could have a "good evening" in Ahmedabad. K.T.S. Tulsi, who represented the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), felt he would not be safe in Ahmedabad, but lawyer Dushyant Dave told him: "With Ram Jethmalani there, nothing would happen to you."
Jethamalani, who was also round, quipped: "Per capita consumption of alcohol is the highest in Ahmedabad." To which, Dave said the per capita consumption of ice cream preceded that of alcohol in the Gujarat city.
Subsequent proceedings in the matter showed that this discussion on "good evenings" in Ahmedabad had a spirited impact on two counsel! (IANS) |
