Karnataka High Court Begins Contempt Proceedings Over Court Hall Disruption by Advocates
The Karnataka High Court initiated suo motu contempt proceedings against unidentified advocates who disrupted proceedings in the Chief Justice's court hall by creating a ruckus. The division bench, led by Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice K.S. Hemalekha, deemed the conduct contemptuous and issued notice to the Advocates Association of Bengaluru (AAB). The disruption occurred amid a statewide boycott call by bar associations protesting attacks on advocates. AAB representatives later apologized, with the court scheduling further hearings on November 19.
