Supreme Court Limits Oral Arguments to One Day, Disposes Special Leave Petition
The Supreme Court allowed a professional lawyer to represent the petitioner in court proceedings, limiting oral arguments to one day. The Court emphasized the need for timely presentation of arguments without extending to subsequent dates. The judgment highlighted differences in views between Bombay High Court and Delhi and Punjab and Haryana. The Court, in the interest of justice, disposed of the special leave petition without expressing any opinion on the case's merits, along with all pending applications.
Issues: Representation of clients by lawyers in court proceedings.
In this judgment, the issue before the Supreme Court was whether lawyers can represent their clients in a specific case. The petitioner argued that an intermediate course of conduct should have been followed instead of dismissing the petition since the issue was sub judice in the Supreme Court. The Court noted that the Bombay High Court judgment allowed a professional lawyer to represent the petitioner, not just an employee of the company, as long as the lawyer did not take more than a day to submit arguments. It was highlighted that the views of Bombay High Court differed from those of Delhi and Punjab and Haryana.
The Court, after hearing the respondent's counsel, decided in the interest of justice to allow a professional lawyer to appear on behalf of the petitioner and present oral arguments, limited to one day. The Court referred to its previous order in a similar case and emphasized that the lawyer representing the petitioner should present their case on a specific date without spilling over to subsequent dates. The Court disposed of the special leave petition without expressing any opinion on the case's merits, and all pending applications were also disposed of.
