IF A JUDGE INSULTS AN ADVOCATE, HE IS GUILTY OF CONTEMPT-A.I.R. 1949 Lahore-470

⭐IF A JUDGE INSULTS AN ADVOCATE,  HE IS GUILTY OF CONTEMPT-A.I.R. 1949 Lahore-470 In this case a magistrate called an advocate, “This foolish advocate” and the magistrate was found guilty of contempt and sentenced to imprisonment. Even if a judge ill-treats a witness it amounts to contempt. Advocates should move contempt petitions against improper behaviour of judges, instead of calling for boycott of courts.It is better to make a fair comment in writing about the contemptuous behaviour of the judge and give it to the judge before filing a contempt petition.  If the judge apologizes the advocate may give him a second chance.  Introducing mandatory video record of all court proceedings will facilitate proof in such cases.
