MP High Court Recalls Order Prohibiting Lawyers' Appearance Before It After They Admit To Bench Hunting, Recognize Harm To Administration Of Justice

Live Law  

Following what appears to be an instance of ‘bench hunting’, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has decided to recall a certain order that prohibited Advocate Vinayak Prasad Shah from appearing before certain High Court benches. The division bench of Chief Justice Ravi Malimath and Justice Vishal Mishra sitting at Jabalpur observed that the lawyers who have filed the vakalath in the review petition themselves have admitted to the practice of ‘bench hunting’. While allowing the revision petition, the court also concurred with the petitioners who submitted that the order dated 10.05.2022 has become ‘an instrument to misuse the judicial process’, since litigants engage Vinayak Prasad Shah as their counsel as a means for ‘bench hunting’. According to the review petition, the prohibition on listing the matters where Vinayak Prasad Shah is appearing for the parties is ‘a means of bench hunting which is not good for the administration of justice’.
