The Delhi High Court held the lawyer guilty of using "deplorable and derogatory language" which was "clearly contemptuous" against judicial officers, high court judges and the court.
The Delhi High Court has held a lawyer guilty of criminal contempt, sentencing him to four months' imprisonment for "scandalising and lowering the dignity" of courts through his remarks against judges. A bench of Justices Pratibha M Singh and Amit Sharma held the lawyer guilty of using "deplorable and derogatory language" which was "clearly contemptuous" against judicial officers, high court judges and the court.
"The contemnor has no respect for the courts as also the entire judicial system itself... He has not expressed any apology and his entire conduct is merely an attempt to scandalise and malign the courts. Such conduct on behalf of the contemnor, especially, someone who is qualified as an advocate cannot be left unpunished," the court said.
The bench noted neither an apology nor any remorse was expressed by the lawyer for his conduct.
