Judicial function can not be disturbed by bullying methodolgy of advocate or litigants
Judicial function cannot and should not be permitted
to be stonewalled by browbeating or bullying methodology,
whether it is by litigants or by counsel. Judicial process
must run its even course unbridled by any boycott call of
the Bar, or tactics of filibuster adopted by any member
thereof. High Courts are duty bound to insulate judicial
ial functionaries within their territory from being
demoralised due to such onslaughts by giving full protection
to them to discharge their duties without fear. But
unfortunately this case reflects apathy on the part of the
High Court in affording such protection to a judicial
functionary who resisted, through legal means, a pressure
strategy slammed on him in open court.
It all happened in the following manner :
