Madhya Pradesh High Court Issues Show-Cause Notice to Senior Advocate Over Courtroom Misconduct

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the Registrar General to place the conduct of Senior Advocate Narinder Pal Singh Ruprah before the full court to decide whether he should continue holding the “Senior Advocate” designation.

This comes after Adv Ruprah, during a hearing in an excise matter, allegedly raised his voice and created a disturbance in court that judges found his behavior inappropriate for someone with senior status. The incident was also recorded on the court’s live stream.

Observing his behavior, the Court barred him from appearing before the Bench until further orders and stated that his designation as a Senior Advocate must be reconsidered.
