Madhya Pradesh High Court Accepts Lawyer’s Apology for Indecent Remark, Issues Warning

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has accepted the unconditional apology of an advocate who used indecent language during a bail hearing but warned him against repeating such conduct.

Justice Pramod Kumar Agarwal observed that any future use of inappropriate language towards the court would invite strict action.

The case concerned a bail plea of four accused allegedly involved in an assault.  A heated exchange between counsels led to a remark against the court.

While accepting the apology, the bench made it clear that advocates must maintain dignity in courtroom proceedings. The matter will be heard again on September 1.
