A lawyer appearing before the Supreme Court today threatened suicide if his petition in a criminal case was not allowed. The court, furious, ordered him to submit a written apology if he did not want a police case against him and his license suspended.<\/p>\n
“How can you threaten the court that you will commit suicide if we don’t allow your prayer? You are a lawyer. We will ask the Bar Council to suspend your license and register an FIR,” said the bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The court asked the lawyer to submit a written apology by March 7 or face consequences.<\/p>\n
The lawyer’s suicide threat came in connection with a petition — Ramesh Kumaran and another v. State. The petitioner Ramesh Kumaran, a member of the Bar, appearing on video conference, said if the police case against respondent number 2 is cancelled, he would commit suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We are shocked to hear this. We expect him to tender an unconditional apology,” the bench said, fixing the nearing on March 7.<\/p>\n
The lawyer then abruptly switched off his video link, but later apologised, saying he got “emotional”.<\/p>\n
But Justice Oka stuck to the order for a written apology and cautioned him about the consequences of non-compliance.<\/p>\n
A similar incident took place last year before a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Sanjay Kumar, and R. Mahadevan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justice Sanjiv Khanna warned the petitioner that he could not threaten the court. He then suggested the man seek legal aid and counselling, and rejected his petition.<\/p>\n
