SHARAD BANSILAL VAKIL vs M/S. JAI MAHAKALYA INFRA STR.P.LTD.&ORS. — C.A. No. 1332/2007

Summary: Sharad Bansilal Vakil v. M/S. Jai Mahakalya Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. (SLP(C) No. 1457/2007) The Supreme Court granted special leave and disposed of the appeals, holding that critical remarks made by a Gujarat High Court judge against senior advocate Sharad Bansilal Vakil were unwarranted. Vakil's mobile phone had alarmed during court proceedings; though he was a heart patient requiring medication at a specific time and had set vibration mode, the trial judge issued a contempt notice. The Division Bench later quashed this notice, finding Vakil had expressed regrets. The Supreme Court concluded Vakil's conduct was non-contumacious and resulted from a communication gap, expunging the offending remarks from the judge's order.
