According to a report from Live Mint, under the initiative of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, the Supreme Court's Communication Division hosted a special screening of Laapataa Ladies on Friday, August 9. The screening, which took place from 4:15 pm to 6:20 pm after court hours, was attended by all Supreme Court judges, their spouses, and registry members. Following the film, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao interacted with the audience.
The event was held in the auditorium of the Supreme Court's administrative building complex and was part of the Chief Justice of India's gender sensitization program. According to the same news source, CJI DY Chandrachud informed Bar & Bench that the initiative aimed to raise awareness among Supreme Court staff.
He noted that, while often unpublicized, such activities were part of a larger effort to support staff, including the recently introduced 24-hour Ayurvedic clinic for their health and relaxation. The film screening also provided an opportunity for staff members to connect with one another.
