‘Mind your words while addressing the court. I am sitting on the bench. You must behave properly the court told Sharma, asking him to maintain the decorum of court.
‘When I am working tomorrow, how can you ask me to take leave. You are the counsel in the case, you have to come to the court tomorrow,’ the ASJ said.
The court said it will hold the court proceedings Saturday and asked the counsel to remain present in the court at 2 pm sharp.
