NDTV
The Supreme Court bench said it cannot entertain the plea under Article 32 and asked the petitioner to approach the Bar Council of India with the grievance.
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking exemption for lawyers from wearing black coats and gowns in the top court as well as high courts across the country during summer.
A bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and V Ramasubramanian said it cannot entertain the plea under Article 32 and asked the petitioner to approach the Bar Council of India (BCI) with his grievance.
The top court also granted liberty to lawyer Shailendra Mani Tripathi to approach the top court again if the BCI does not act on his plea.
The petitioner withdrew the plea and the matter was dismissed as withdrawn. Senior advocate Vikas Singh appeared for the petitioner.
