On Tuesday (April 1, 2025) in the Supreme Court, at the time of hearing a case, the judges got so angry that they reprimanded the Advocate on Record (AOR). The AOR addressed the judges as ‘My Learnand Friend’ while filing an apology application for not being able to appear in the last hearing, on which the judge put a lot of classes and said what kind of language it is.
The court was already angry because the Advocate on Record (AOR) was not present in the court. When AOR addressed this way, the court said- I to It.
According to the report of the Bar and Bench, Justice M. Bella Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma were hearing the case. Advocate on records are those lawyers who have the right to file a case in the Supreme Court and AOR examination is conducted for them. A petition was filed against the Madras High Court’s decision in a criminal case, but during the hearing on March 28, neither AORP Soma Sundaram reached the court nor appeared.
In the last hearing, Advocate R Needkaran told the court that AOR is not in Delhi, he has gone to a village in Tamil Nadu, due to which he could not even appear virtually, after which the court postponed the hearing for April 1. The court had asked Soma Sundaram to appear at the next hearing and also directed that he would also bring the proof, which proves that he was in Tamil Nadu.
During the hearing on 1 April, Justice M Bella Trivedi told AOR Soma Sundaram, ‘You are challenging the decision of the Madras High Court. You should not file special leave petition, if you do not know about it, you should not be Aor. We cannot leave the case like this, you are taking unfair advantage. On this, AOR said that he takes responsibility. The court told them that you will have to do this because they have no other option nor will it work with forgiveness.
During the hearing, the AOR addressed the court as My Learned Friend, and Justice Bella Trivedi was enraged and said, ‘First you people apologize for the delay. Then forgiveness in Adevan … what is this language?
