About maintaining decorum of Supreme Court while addressing the Court.
1. Incidents in past are also reported where Supreme Court has adjourned cases when some young advocate has either "Improperly addressed the court" or when he has been "improperly dressed" while appearing in court.
I think this will continue to happen, till rules are suitably changed.
2. At present, Supreme Court Rules, 2013 says that any advocate who has experience of 1 Year can appear and can argue in Supreme Court that the High Court Judge, who may have 40 Years of experience, has committed grave error on facts and on law !
3. Something here, just do not add up.
4. Definition of "Etiquette" needs also to be checked. It means "formal rules which are usually to be followed in professional and social settings by usual practice".
The judges who have years experiences, simply adjourn such cases when they face a young lawyer, with 1 year experience, addressing them incorrectly or giving them lecture imprudently or when he appears to be in improper dress.
