The Court also decided to issue a show-cause notice to the advocate who had allegedly refused to argue the case before the High Court, one Anil Kumar Shrivastava.
“Prima facie, we are of the view that the conduct of the advocate recorded in the impugned order may amount to infamous conduct and it may also, prima facie, amount to a criminal contempt,” the apex court observed.
The bench asked the lawyer to remain personally present in Court on January 22, 2024.
It also asked for a copy of the notice to be forwarded to the Registrar General of the Allahabad, so as to effect its service on the advocate.
