Screen ReaderHumour in Court
Court rooms are a fertile source of humour. Amidst the regular humdrum of daily court room proceedings, humour props up unexpectedly, sometimes on account of the wit of an Advocate or a Judge and sometimes on account of an innocent remark of a litigant or a witness. 'Humour in Court' is an endeavour of the Information Technology & Artificial Intelligence Committee of the High Court of Delhi to capture such moments and preserve them for posterity.

The Story of an 'Asterisk'
Senior Counsel 'X' (while addressing the Bench): “If your lordships will now be kind enough to turn to page 6 of the paper book and come to the star on the left column.”
Senior Judge on the Bench (known for having a proclivity for correct usage of English language): "Mr. X the only stars I see are the stars visible in the sky post 7 pm. What you are referring to is an 'Asterisk'."
