Bombay High Court Takes Cognizance Of Civic Officer, Advocate Abusing And Assaulting Court Peon, However Accepts Their "Unconditional Apologies"

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court recently took suo motu cognizance of an "unfortunate incident" which took place in the Court premises, wherein an advocate and an official of the Nashik Municipal Corporation abused a court peon in a filthy language after they were asked to maintain silence. A division bench of Justices Ajay Gadkari and Kamal Khata was disturbed to take note of the incident and therefore, asked its peon Atul Tayade to lodge a criminal case against advocate Dinesh Kadam and NMC's Deputy Municipal Commissioner Mayur Patil, for abusing him and threatening to get him removed from his job. "He informed us that, when he was trying to maintain peace in the corridors of the Court under our directions, one person by name Mayur Patil accompanied with an Advocate Dinesh Kadam verbally abused him in filthy language and tried to physically assault and manhandle him," the bench recorded in its order. We consciously avoid reproducing the filthy and unparliamentary language used by advocate Kadam accompanied with Patil to maintain decency and dignity," the bench noted.
