Chief Justice orders police officer to supply beverage to Bar Association after he was caught sipping a drink
Irked by the casual approach of a police officer who was found sipping a beverage during a virtual hearing, the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court on Tuesday directed the officer to distribute 100 cans of a cold drink to the Bar Association or face disciplinary action.
Chief Justice Aravind Kumar reprimanded Inspector A.M. Rathod after he was found drinking something that looked like a cold drink during an online hearing of a case in which he was accused of assaulting two women at a traffic junction.
While rebuking the police officer, the Chief Justice recalled a similar incident when he had to pull up an advocate for eating a samosa during virtual proceedings of the court a few days ago.
