Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is the ball is in your court and it is a phrase meaning “it is now your responsibility or your turn to take action; it is up to you to take action now”.
Example Sentence: Legislators have also pointed out that the Surrogacy Bill intrinsically connected with the ART Bill was pending in the Rajya Sabha, and that it would only be appropriate that both Bills be considered together before they are passed. The ball is now squarely in the court of the Upper House; legislators can still set right the omissions and introduce the spirit of justice in the letter of the law.
