In the bustling heart of the National Capital Region (NCR), where the air buzzed with the promises of justice and resolution, I found myself entangled in the intricate legal landscape of a trademark infringement case. The stage for this legal drama was set near Delhi, within the solemn walls of the Commercial Court.
As the clock struck 2 PM, signaling the scheduled commencement of proceedings, a craving for a quick lunch led me to the Court canteen. However, my anticipation gave way to surprise as I laid eyes on the weathered, red-colored building that housed the court. It appeared frozen in time, telling tales of history and legal disputes. To add to my bewilderment, there was no canteen in sight, leaving me to ponder the irony of a court without a place to break bread.
Undeterred, I retreated to the confines of my car, the only refuge available to satisfy my hunger. Little did I know that this was just the prologue to a series of unexpected twists that awaited me.
Upon reentering the court premises, I discovered that a lawyers' strike was in full swing. To my dismay, there had been no prior intimation, neither online nor offline, about this legal hiatus. Determined to forge ahead, I insisted on presenting my arguments. The Hon'ble Judge, acknowledging the peculiar circumstances, expressed his inability to issue any adverse orders due to the ongoing strike. To my surprise, he took it upon himself to draft the order right there in the courtroom, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability of the legal process.
However, my ultimate surprise awaited me post-proceedings. Inquiring about the location of a public toilet, I was met with perplexity as I realized that there was none to be found. A Commercial Court situated in the vibrant NCR, devoid of a basic public toilet facility, left me questioning the essence of such a fundamental amenity. It was a stark reminder of the disparities within the infrastructure supporting the legal system.
This unexpected journey through legal intricacies and the lack of basic facilities painted a vivid picture of contrasts within the Commercial Court's premises – a juxtaposition of the solemnity of legal proceedings and the absence of essential conveniences. As I left the red-colored building, I couldn't help but reflect on the symbiotic relationship between the pursuit of justice and the basic amenities that should accompany it, realizing that the quest for resolution extended beyond the courtroom walls into the everyday needs of those seeking justice.
Just Guess, where is it located and get surprised.
