Anxiety during a trial does not justify casting aspersions on a judge, the High Court of Delhi has said while imposing costs of Rs 5,000 on a litigant who is facing proceedings in a contempt reference.
The reference arose from a trial court's proceedings in a criminal case where the litigant cast aspersions on the presiding judicial officer.
It said, "...the anxiety which the respondent went through during the trial does not justify his actions of casting aspersions on the presiding judge. The fact that the respondent elected to defend his own case is no justification for being disrespectful towards the presiding judge".
