UU Lalit was then Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah's lawyer in the case when Narendra Modi's government was accused of covering up alleged fake encounter killings of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, his wife Kauserbi, and associate Tulsiram Prajapati.
Justice Lalit said that Justice Chandrachud, who had made oral remarks on October 14 against listing case on Saturday, never said anything about that when CJI Lalit asked him whether he would be part of Saturday bench.
