Court Recalls Order Over Covid Facility For Lawyers After Wrong Statement

The court recalled its order passed asking a non-operational private hospital to handover its keys to the Bar Council of Delhi to inspect and make necessary arrangements for making it functional for providing Covid Care facilities to lawyers and their families.

The Delhi High Court today took strong note of a wrong statement made by an advocate without any authority on the basis of which a judicial order was passed relating to a plea to provide COVID-19 medical facilities to lawyers. The high court cautioned the advocate about such conduct in future and said it was dismayed that he appeared in the matter without any authority and made a statement. It recalled its order passed on Monday asking a non-operational private hospital to handover its keys to the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) to inspect and make necessary arrangements for making it functional for providing COVID Care facilities to lawyers and their families. During the hearing yesterday, advocate Yashvardhan S Soam claimed that he was representing Rockland Hospital in Dwarka and offered to handover keys of the non-operational institute to Bar Council of Delhi to inspect and make necessary arrangements for making it functional for providing COVID Care facilities to lawyers and their families.
