The Division Bench of Chief Justice (CJ) Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice S R Krishna Kumar stated in its judgment of March 4 that it would not proceed any further against advocate G Sanjay.
A video of the hearing in the case on March 3 had gone viral in which the CJ was seen rebuking the lawyer after he had failed to inform the Bench that under similar facts and circumstances, one of the appeals in which he was appearing had been dismissed on merits by the same court before.
The High Court in its March 4 judgment noted,
“The advocate appearing for the appellant Sri G Sanjay has submitted that he has admitted his mistake and it is for the first time that he has committed such a mistake and learnt a lesson and solemnly assures the Court that such instances will not occur in future and he tenders his unconditional and profuse apologies in this regard. Considering the young age of the advocate and the assurance given by Sri DR Ravishankar, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the appellant that in future, Sri G Sanjay would be more careful and will not commit any such mistake, we do not propose to proceed any further”.
