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.
The Delhi High Court cautioned against frequent case transfers, warning of potential long-term harm to judges’ careers and questioning the fairness and integrity of the judiciary. Emphasizing the need for solid evidence to justify transfers, the court rejected a transfer petition and imposed a fine, underscoring the commitment to judicial fairness and integrity.
