The Kerala High Court rejected the anticipatory bail of a lawyer accused of sexually assaulting a minor after giving her alcohol. The judge expressed strong disapproval of such actions by a member of the legal profession.
Justice Ajit Kumar of the Allahabad High Court ruled that lawyer strikes should not prevent litigants from accessing justice. The court directed the district administration to ensure police protection for litigants arguing their cases during such strikes. The dismissal of a writ petition emphasized that no lawyer can obstruct judicial duties or litigant access to courts.
