In an order passed last month, judicial member Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma said that it has become a common practice for lawyers to submit bulky records and citations that added no value to the case being heard and only end up burdening the record section of the tribunal.
Such practice not only adds to the litigants’ expenses but also reflects poorly on one’s professional ethics, Justice Sharma said.
“It has become a quite common feature of the proceedings which are being instituted before the NCLAT, that voluminous records running in several volumes are being filed, including the citations of very little value addition while unnecessarily burdening the record section of the Tribunal, as well as, the coffers of the litigant,” the order stated.
