PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI
Achala Ram S/o Sh. Gobar Ram – Appellant
Versus
State Of Rajasthan – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
1. After the judgment was reserved on 06.04.2023, Advocate Mr. C.S. Kotwani, learned counsel appeared in the Chamber and submitted that though he represented the petitioners in both the instant petitions i.e. WP Nos. 5117/2020 & 3995/2020, but after the judgment was reserved, the petitioner in WP No.3995/2020 has taken NOC from him, and thus, virtually, he has no further instructions in the said writ petition (No.3995/2020).
1.1 This Court realizes that in the likelihood of the judgment coming against the petitioner in WP No. 3995/2020, he tried to prohibit/pressurize the Counsel by taking away the NOC after the judgment was reserved. Such a practice, in the firm opinion of this Court, requires to be deprecated.
