The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association has passed a resolution condemning the recent incident in which a litigant appearing in person allegedly used abusive language, made disrespectful remarks and engaged in inappropriate conduct during proceedings before the Supreme Court.

SCAORA said the court's patience and restraint should not be mistaken for a lack of authority, warned against attempts to misuse judicial proceedings through grandstanding or publicity, and urged appropriate legal action to uphold the dignity of the institution.#SupremeCourt
