LAWYERS INCIDENTS OF BROWBEATING BEFORE HIGH COURT ARE INCRRASING AND MUST BE STOPPED: SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court while hearing a plea filed by a lawyer against whom contempt proceedings were initiated by High Court for misbehaving in court room, has allowed the lawyer to file an undertaking with unconditional apology that such an incident shall not occur at his instance in future. In this case, the High Court of Uttarakhand had passed an order referring the matter to the Bar Council of Uttarakhand for taking a disciplinary action against the petitioner for misbehaving with the Court. A recall application had been filed by the counsel in which the grounds taken for recall was that on the date when the incident of misbehaviour occurred, he was ailing and unable to argue the case and that is why he submitted that the Court may pass an appropriate order as Court is not hearing. The High Court refused to accept his explanation saying that on the same day, there was another case of the counsel, which was listed and he had argued the same. While observing that an apology itself amounts to an admission of the incident, the Bench had further stated that a person who can venture out to humiliate the Court by the language used in the proceedings of the Court is contemptuous.
