Watch: Lawyer argues from sub-zero Sonamarg, Delhi HC Judge impressed by her speed
The video of the lawyer appearing virtually before a Delhi High Court Judge from sub-zero Sonamarg has gone viral.
Professional duty met the peak of the Himalayas this week as an advocate appeared on a Delhi High Court hearing virtually from a snow-clad balcony in Sonamarg. Braving sub-zero temperatures to fulfil her responsibilities, she demonstrated her speed during the legal arguments, leaving the judge thoroughly impressed. The presiding judge, who was reminded of the famous song Breathless, praised her for the speed and focus she maintained while arguing from what social media users called "work from heaven."
“Appearing virtually before the Delhi High Court,” Shreya Smriti wrote on Instagram. She added, “Grateful for the kind appreciation by the Hon’ble Judge.”

The video starts with the judge asking, “Who is the singer who sang Breathless?” He continues, “She can qualify for that. One breath she is doing very fast.”
Praising Smriti, the judge continues, “You are very good, Ms Counsel.”
