Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 for making threatening remarks towards a lady counsel and for failing to appear in court on multiple occasions. The Court emphasized that such conduct undermines the dignity of the legal profession and the authority of the court. The appellant was fined Rs. 2,000 and the conviction was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that lawyers must maintain decorum and respect towards their colleagues and the court.
