The lawyer in question, advocate BK Jha, was on May 15 barred from entering the premises of the High Court till June 12 by single-judge Justice Rajesh Kumar
This order was passed by the single-judge after he took exception to the tone and tenor of Jha’s arguments during the hearing of a case.
Jha had told the Court that despite six months having passed after the removal of defects, his case was yet to be listed.
The judge examined the file and noted that the case was still defective. He further noted that more than hundred lawyers were present in the courtroom and that Jha’s tone and tenor was contemptuous.
“Emphatically, accusation has been made against the Staffs and the Court to the effect that the cases are being not listed even after removal of the defect(s). The tone and tenor of the concerned Advocate was not proper, rather it was contemptuous. The appearance and the statement of the concerned Advocate has been found contemptuous,” the single-judge said.
