The Gujarat High Court imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Vishwa Varsani for contempt of court during a virtual courtroom session. Varsani, who was caught smoking, admitted his mistake, stating that he was unaware of being visible. This incident follows similar penalizations last month when two other litigants were fined for inappropriate behavior during virtual hearings. The court’s strict actions highlight the importance of maintaining decorum and professionalism in virtual legal proceedings. Such incidents serve as a reminder for all participants to adhere to proper conduct even in online court sessions to avoid penalties and uphold the dignity of the judicial system.
