Advocates Association Bangalore – Appellant
Versus
Union of India – Respondent
Per Ajit J. Gunjal J.,
1. An unsavory incident which took place on 2nd of March 2012 has resulted in a spate of writ petitions being filed before this Court seeking various reliefs including one for a direction to the State Government to entrust the Investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (for short ‘CBI’). Various reliefs were sought for in the said writ petitions including a direction to some of the respondents, who are electronic media houses to telecast the clippings and videos showing the assault on innocent lawyers and also a direction to the Union of India to initiate action against Media for telecasting/publishing false information in the electronic and print media against the Advocates and for host of other reliefs.
2. Before considering the factual matrix of the case, it is necessary to reflect a little on these spate of writ petitions, which are filed. Suffice it to note that the present writ petition was listed before the Court raising certain office objections, which were sought to be rectified during the course of the day. This Court directed notice to the respondents. The matter was thereafter re-listed on 14.03.2012 and fresh notices were dir
