The Supreme Court was considering an appeal against an order of the Rajasthan High Court imposing costs of ₹50,000 on a lawyer who levelled allegations against judges.
The lawyer in question was apparently aggrieved that his name was not shown on the order sheet and made some unsavoury remarks against the judges of the High Court.
Upon going through the issue, Justice Chandrachud frowned upon the allegations made by the lawyer and the practice of always approaching the Supreme Court in appeal every time High Courts impose costs.
The top court declined to interfere in the matter, except to the extent of extending the deadline to pay the costs by 30 days.
“Sorry, we cannot interfere. Let him be careful in future. Deadline for costs to be imposed extended by 30 days,” the Court said.
