"Advocates fail to realise that these petitions are filed/placed before the Registry and get circulated through various departments, exposing the parties involved in the photographs," the court said.
The Bombay High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on an advocate for submitting objectionable photographs with a petition seeking to get a rape case against a man revoked.
A division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and SM Modak in an order observed that "no sense of proportion or discretion" was exercised by the petitioner's advocate while annexing the "highly objectionable" photographs with the plea.
The copy of the order dated October 7 was made available today.
The bench came across the photographs while hearing the petition filed by the accused man's wife seeking to quash the FIR and chargesheet filed against him in a rape case.
