The Delhi High Court criticised a senior lawyer for appearing with red tape on his mouth as a protest, calling his conduct “completely in poor taste.” The Court noted he was only asked to pause earlier because his arguments were repetitive, not because he was silenced.
Madras High Court said the contempt action against S Vanchinathan was based on his social media interview, not his petition to the CJI. The bench stressed it aimed to uphold judicial integrity, not silence criticism.
On June 11, Prayagraj Municipal Corporation demolished 151 illegal temporary advocate chambers, leading to protests by lawyers demanding alternative arrangements. The demolition followed prior notices and continued a campaign against encroachments. After escalating tensions and damage to property, talks commenced, with a proposal for permanent accommodations for displaced advocates being discussed.
