Adverse remarks against a counsel in judicial orders must satisfy three conditions: the counsel must have been given an opportunity to explain, the remarks must be supported by evidence on record, and they must be necessary as an integral part of the decision. Per casestatus.in's analysis of this judgment, expunction is warranted where disparaging observations violate the *audi alteram partem* principle and are extraneous to the adjudication, regardless of whether the criticism may be factually justified.
