A courtroom debate sparks as lawyers protest against what they call a “pre-conceived” judicial order.
n a charged session at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, lawyers strongly objected to an order passed by a Bench comprising Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. The flashpoint came during a criminal case—N. Easwaranathan v. State—when Justice Trivedi rebuked an advocate-on-record (AoR) for initiating what she described as vexatious litigation.
According to advocates present, the courtroom saw a heated back-and-forth, with multiple lawyers questioning the judicial propriety and fairness of the order. They asserted that the decision appeared to be “pre-conceived” and undermined the professional dignity of the legal counsel involved.
The incident has raised broader concerns over judicial temperament and the right of lawyers to present cases without fear of reprimand. While no formal contempt notice was issued, the courtroom dynamics underscore the continuing tension between the Bar and the Bench.
