Gujarat High Court Orders Community Service to Man Who Attended Court Hearing from Toilet

The Gujarat High Court directed a man to perform community service after he joined the court proceedings through video call in addition to the ₹1 lakh fine imposed on him. 

Justices AS Supehia and RT Vachhani observed that the man had dragged the Court to the toilet, and obliterated its sanctity and majesty.

The Bench was informed that Shah had paid the fine. The Court then suggested additional punishment in the form of community service at an old-age home. The Court emphasised that virtual hearings are no excuse for casual or disrespectful behaviour in judicial proceedings.
