Justice SM Subramaniam of the Madras High Court is distributing 200 millilitre bottles of Aavin buttermilk to lawyers, staff, and others present in the courtroom during the 10-minute break at 12 pm.
The judge has been paying for the bottles himself and procuring them from the Aavin Milk Booth.
The gesture has been praised by lawyers and staff, who appreciate the respite from the oppressive Chennai heat.
When thanked for the gesture, Justice Subramaniam merely brushed it off, saying he was saving people a trip to the Aavin booth.
