Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized that judicial functions must not be obstructed by tactics such as boycotts or filibusters from litigants or counsel, as per the principles of judicial independence. The Court held that High Courts have a duty to protect judicial officers from such pressures, ensuring they can perform their duties without fear. The judgment underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of the judicial process, particularly in light of the challenges posed by external influences like the boycott by the Delhi Bar Association.
