The Gujarat High Court rebukes journalist Ravi Nair’s counsel after an urgent hearing request is made without disclosing that a bail application is also pending in the sessions court. The bench criticizes the lawyers for not informing the court about the prior approach regarding bail before seeking urgent consideration in the High Court.
The parties’ procedural conduct becomes the focus of the court’s response. According to The Hindu, the bench strongly reacts to the omission, noting that the counsel had approached the sessions court for the client’s bail as well, but did not disclose this information when seeking an urgent hearing scheduled for September 19. Times of India reports a similar rebuke, also centering on the failure to disclose details of the pending bail plea.
Across the outlets, the core point is the same: the High Court questions whether the urgent application in its forum is properly presented when related relief is already being pursued elsewhere. The reports do not indicate a change in the underlying arrest matter itself within the cited coverage, but instead highlight the court’s concern about transparency in court filings and requests.
