Twitterati Massively Trolled Delhi HC After It Explains The Difference Between Sandals & Chappals

Do you know what exactly is a chappal and what is a sandal? How are they different from each other? Is a woman’s footwear without a back strap a “sandal” or a “chappal”? But finally, the riddle has been solved.

Yes, the Delhi High Court has ruled that woman’s footwear without a backstrap is a sandal and not a chappal.

Yet, in other burning issues that need to be resolved urgently, the Delhi High Court has categorically stated the difference between sandals and chappals – just so you get the terminology right the next time if someone’s throwing certain footwear.

In case you didn’t know, a woman’s footwear without a back strap is a sandal and not a chappal, HC passed this judgment opposing the government’s argument that it was a ‘chappal’.

The judgment came after a Chennai-based footwear manufacturer, Wishall International, challenged the Centre’s position that a woman’s footwear without a back strap is a chappal and not a sandal. Actually, the case is a sobering reminder of how bizarre India’s tax regime can be.

This issue came to the limelight after the government withdrew 10% duty drawback given to a footwear manufacturer stating that the footwear exported by it were ‘chappals’ since they did not have a back strap.

As soon as this news came out, many people got a wind of this delightfully enlightening judgment by the High Court, social media platforms buzzed with some crazy and funny reactions over it.

Here are some of the wittiest reactions to this bizarre judgment:
