Gujarat High Court Continues Temporary Restoration Of Senior Advocate Designation Of Yatin Oza For Six More Months Effective January 1

Live Law  

The Gujarat High Court, in a notification earlier this month, has resolved to extend the temporary restoration of Yatin Narendrabhai Oza's designation as Senior Advocate for an additional six months, effective from January 1, 2025. The matter stemmed from a controversy in which the Gujarat High Court had revoked Oza's Senior Advocate designation in July 2020. The High Court while holding Oza liable for criminal contempt, emphasized the importance of preserving the dignity and authority of the judiciary, stating, “The only weapon of protecting itself from the onslaught to the institution is the long hand of contempt of court left in the armoury of judicial repository which, when needed, can reach any neck howsoever high or far away it may be.” Further, in October 2021, the bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and R. Subhash Reddy had passed the order in the appeal filed by Oza challenging the decision of the Gujarat High Court to revoke his senior designation. In effect, the fate of the petitioner is dependent on his appropriate conduct as a senior counsel before his own High Court, which will have the final say.” With the caveat that it is the High Court which will watch and can best decide how he behaves and conducts himself as a senior counsel “without any further opportunity”, the Supreme Court had opined that the ends of justice would be served by temporarily restoring the designation of advocate Yatin Oza for a period of two years from January 1, 2022.
