The Gauhati High Court has declined to modify an order passed in January 2023 to eject a senior lawyer from the court premises after he turned up in a pair of jeans to argue his case.
Hearing the case on January 29, Justice Kalyan Rai Surana pulled up Bijan Kumar Mahajan for trying to justify his conduct by citing court rules to seek the modification of the year-old order. The latter said jeans are not explicitly excluded under the Gauhati High Court (Conditions of Practice of Advocates) Rules, 2010, although they are excluded under the Bar Council of India rules.
