In a rare and scathing rebuke of its own back-office, the Supreme Court on Monday (May 4, 2026) lashed out at the apex court Registry, terming its conduct “nasty” and saying its officials think they are acting as “super Chief Justice of India”.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi made the observation while hearing a bail plea filed by Ayushi Mittal alias Ayushi Agarwal, an accused in an alleged investment fraud to the tune of more than ₹37,000 crore.
