Today, On 7th April, During a heated exchange in court, the Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court told a Senior Advocate that he did not deserve the title after the lawyer raised his voice. The confrontation occurred during proceedings, drawing sharp remarks from the bench. Taking serious note of the conduct, the Court decided to escalate the matter. It ordered the lawyer’s name to be placed before the Full Court for reconsideration of his Senior Advocate status.
The Supreme Court’s full court has decided to take away senior lawyer Rishi Malhotra’s senior designation. The main reason for this action was his alleged “sharp practices” in legal matters. A member who attended the meeting confirmed that these questionable practices were the key issue discussed.
