A senior lawyer appeared before Gujarat High Court after a video of him sipping from a beer mug during a virtual hearing went viral. He apologised unconditionally, calling it a technical error while waiting for his turn.
The Supreme Court directed newly designated Senior Advocates to inform their clients about their senior status. This move aims to ensure transparency and awareness among litigants. The designation comes with added responsibilities and higher fees, making disclosure crucial. The court’s directive reinforces ethical legal practices.
