Senior advocate Indira Jaisingh complained of ‘gross contempt of court’
The High Court of Karnataka on November 30 ordered retrieval of electronic data of a video conference hearing after a senior advocate complained that a man was visible semi-naked for about 20 minutes when the court was hearing PIL petitions related to the CD scandal involving former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.
Senior advocate Indira Jaisingh, appearing for the woman who had lodged a sexual abuse case against Mr. Jarkiholi, pointed out to a division bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum that a semi-naked man was visible on the screen during the video conference of court proceedings.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
