No gavel, no gown; it was a bat-and-pads Sunday for Judges XI and Advocates Association XI in Ranchi. (Clockwise from top) Jharkhand High Court Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay, a seasoned table tennis player,
takes a stylish stance while advocate Ananda Sen, behind the wickets, is all hands; Justice RN Verma strikes a tricky delivery under the eagle eyes of advocate MS Mittal at the slips; and Justice Prashant Kumar, looking dapper, manages to swing it. Judges XI scored 46 in 10 overs, their rivals falling short by 10 runs. Justice Kumar was the
Man of the Match. Pictures by Prashant Mitra
