Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the conduct of an advocate who slapped a Magistrate in court, emphasizing the importance of decorum and respect within the judicial system. The Court highlighted that members of the Bar have a responsibility towards the Court and the justice delivery system, which is integral to upholding the rule of law. The Court upheld the Magistrate's decision to issue a non-bailable warrant against the advocate for his misconduct, reinforcing the principle that such behavior undermines the integrity of the judiciary.
