"No Room For Arrogance, No License To Intimidate The Court": Bombay HC Reprimands Advocate Over Allegations Of Bias, Delayed Hearing

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court recently observed that while an advocate's frustration over a delayed hearing was understandable, but it didn't give them a license to intimidate the Court and make reckless allegations against a Judge polluting the very fountain of justice. Justice Anuja Prabhudessai reprimanded a lawyer for making allegations of "partiality" and "unfairness" against the court during a bail hearing and said that the advocate's conduct was "unbecoming of an advocate". Justice Prabhudessai noted in her order that Advocate Anjali Patil had circulated the bail application of a man accused in a POCSO case, for urgent listing. Earlier Justice Prabhudessai pulled up former Home minister Anil Deshmukh's lawyers for seeking an urgent listing of his bail application and directed him to produce medical papers to make out the urgency.
