Allahabad High Court Cautions Bar Members Against Actions That Could Tarnish Judges' Image In The Eyes Of Public

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court recently observed that members of the Bar should be more responsible when their actions may malign or, to some extent, question a judge's image in the eyes of the public at large. Essentially, the Court expressed displeasure over the fact that the brief holder appearing for the advocate for the appellants did not inform the Court that the matter should be placed before another Bench for passing orders on withdrawal application. “Learned brief holder of today, did not inform the Court that this matter should be placed before another Bench for passing orders on withdrawal application. Even on 04.10.2024, no mention was made in that direction, otherwise the Court would have directed listing of withdrawal application before another Bench on that very day,” the Court observed.
