A Delhi court has directed initiation of criminal proceedings against a lawyer for allegedly misbehaving and arguing in a high-pitched voice despite repeated warnings by the judge during physical hearing in a case, while noting that the lawyer did not feel remorseful for his act.
The directions were given by additional sessions judge Shivaji Ananda after the lawyer kept arguing with the prosecutor in a “very high pitch” voice, alleging that he is making mockery of him.
When the lawyer refused to submit a written explanation on why he misbehaved and interfered in the proceedings even after his matter was over, the judge directed initiation of criminal proceedings.
“Let miscellaneous number be registered for further proceedings under sections 228 (interruption to public servant sitting in judicial proceedings) and 179 (refusing to answer public servant authorised to question)of IPC. The matter will be taken up on September 21,” the court said in the order.
According to the order, the lawyer continued to raise his voice despite repeated warnings from the judge.
The lawyer had come to the court to seek interim bail for his client for two months on the medical grounds.
