Procedure of Court in case of question being asked without reasonable grounds
AI Assist
Summary
If the court thinks a question asked in court by a barrister, pleader, vakil or attorney had no reasonable grounds, it may report the facts to the High Court or the authority that supervises that legal professional. The report allows that supervisory body to consider disciplinary or other action. This applies only where the question is asked during court proceedings.
Example
Ravi, a vakil defending a shopkeeper, asks a witness in court whether the shopkeeper stole cash even though Ravi has no evidence. The judge finds the question was asked without reasonable grounds and reports the circumstances to the High Court or the authority that oversees vakils so they can consider disciplinary action.
Bare Act
Enacted textIf the Court is of opinion that any such question was asked without reasonable grounds, it may, if it was asked by any barrister, pleader, vakil or attorney, report the circumstances of the case to the High Court or other authority to which such barrister, pleader, vakil or attorney is the subject in the exercise of his profession.
