The bench was miffed over the fact that in a 32-year-old case, the advocates did not follow the proper manner for filing the paper-book.
“There is a manner for filing the paper-book. But you have not followed it and this is shocking especially because you were already pulled up for the same and were asked to pay ₹25,000 costs,” CJ Kumar said.
Noting that despite earlier strictures and cost orders, the litigant in the suit failed to follow the proper procedure of compiling the paper-book, the bench doubled the costs this time.
“Now you will have to pay double the earlier amount. Now pay ₹50,000 rokda for the Advocates Welfare Fund and then come up with a proper paper-book on next hearing,” the CJ said while adjourning the case for two weeks.
