Website Selling Lawyer Neckbands Used Fake Reviews from CJIs and Senior Advocates: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court took note of an e-commerce platform, Lawkart, which was found selling “Premium Cotton” lawyer neckbands at an inflated price of ₹1,799 (discounted to ₹499) while featuring fabricated reviews allegedly written by Chief Justices of India, sitting Supreme Court judges, and senior advocates.

The reviews, some falsely attributed to deceased jurists like Fali Nariman, Soli Sorabjee, and Ram Jethmalani, were highlighted by a Pune-based lawyer’s viral LinkedIn post.

Following public scrutiny, the website deleted the fake endorsements, reducing its review count from 268 to 147.
