Sibal loses faith in Supreme Court, then thanks it next day
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal said on Saturday, 10 October that he had lost faith in the Supreme Court after it refused relief on alleged wrongful voter deletions in Bengal, where tribunals restored names in 93% of appeals. He told reporters he was tired of approaching the court. But on Sunday, 11 October, after the court found a prima facie breach of its 9 October order against a Metro shutdown and issued notices to top officials, Sibal thanked the court for restoring faith in the justice system. The court directed normalisation of Metro, train and internet services in Delhi.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Livelaw's story leads with Sibal's loss of faith in the Supreme Court, framing it as a definitive statement, and does not mention his later expression of gratitude. Times of India, published a day later, shows the full arc: Sibal's Saturday frustration and his Sunday reversal after the court's order on Metro and train services. It also includes the courtroom atmosphere and the court's explicit aim to restore faith. Times of India gives a more complete picture by covering both statements, while Livelaw's piece stops at the earlier, more dramatic comment. The contrast shows the event's emotional trajectory: a temporary venting followed by an immediate, court-driven restoration of confidence in the same institution.
