The Kerala High Court imposed a Rs.50,000 cost on lawyers who stalled a case due to their client’s unpaid fees. The Court warned that a litigant cannot, under any circumstances, be pushed to a corner or blackmailed into paying an Advocate’s fee.
The Supreme Court rejected petitions against the National Medical Commission (NMC) with a cost of Rs.10 lakh. It criticized the NMC for unfair actions and emphasized the need for transparency. The NMC challenged a Kerala High Court order regarding approval for increasing medical college seats. The court called for fair and reasonable conduct from the NMC as a state body.
