Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the application for restoration of Civil Appeal No. 1398 of 2005 due to the Advocate-on-Record (AOR), Shri Rameshwar Prasad Goyal, refusing to appear in court and failing to clarify the factual controversy. The Court found his conduct 'unbecoming' of an AOR, potentially interfering with justice, and issued a show cause notice regarding his removal from the register of AsOR. Despite Goyal's apology and undertaking not to repeat the mistake, the Court emphasized the importance of responsibility among AORs as per the Supreme Court Rules, 1966.
