The video of a man attending the Gujarat High Court proceedings while sitting on a toilet seat and apparently relieving himself has gone viral on the social media.
The incident took place on June 20 before the single-judge Bench of Justice Nirzar S Desai.
The video initially featured a closeup of the man logged in as ‘Samad Battery’, wearing a Bluetooth earphone around his neck.
He was subsequently seen keeping his phone at a distance, which revealed that he was seated on a toilet. The video further showed him cleaning himself and then moving out of the washroom. The man went off-screen for some time and then reappeared in a room.
As per court records, the man was appearing as a respondent in a case seeking quashing of a first information report (FIR). He was the complainant in the criminal case. Following an amicable resolution between the parties, the Court quashed the FIR.
This is not the first instance of inappropriate behaviour during online court proceedings. In April this year, the High Court had imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on a litigant who was found smoking a cigarette while appearing through video conferencing.
In March 20, a Delhi court in March summoned a litigant who was seen smoking a cigarette while appearing in his case through video conference.
