Delhi High Court Criticises Lawyer for Raising Voice at Trial Judge During Hearing

The Delhi High Court underscored that a judge must be respected at every level of the judiciary, criticizing a lawyer for raising his voice before a trial court judge during an adjournment dispute.

The Court observed that despite being asked to calm down, the lawyer claimed he practiced in the Supreme Court and refused to argue when given an opportunity. It termed the conduct “deplorable” and warned against attempts by advocates to overawe trial judges.

The petition challenging the trial court’s closure of evidence was ultimately withdrawn, and the High Court dismissed the related applications.
