Punjab & Haryana High Court Pulls Up Advocate For Claiming That He 'Made' Many Judges; Doubles Cost [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday pulled up an Advocate for claiming that he 'made' many judges and doubled the cost imposed on him while dismissing his petition. Taking note of Advocate Sushil Gautam's "boisterous claims", the Single Bench of Justice Arun Monga said, "To say the least, the tone, tenor, manner and conduct of the learned counsel for petitioner leaves a lot to desire. On dismissal of his case with costs for concealment of facts, the Advocate had very "rowdily exuberated" before the High Court that paying costs is not an issue. It further said that if the Petitioner wanted to file a criminal case, the correct procedure was to first approach the Trial Court under Section 156 Cr.P.C for redressal of his grievance, if any, before directly approaching the High Court.
