“Appearing Before a Court in a Drunken State is Inexcusable and Amounts to Contempt of Court”: HC Convicts Lawyer for Threatening Judge

The Delhi High Court convicted Advocate Sanjay Rathod for appearing intoxicated before a magistrate and issuing threats against her. The court found his behavior to be contemptuous and unacceptable, but as he had already served five months in jail for related charges, no further sentence was imposed. The incident occurred in 2015 at the Karkardooma Court.
