In addition, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Gautam Budh Nagar district court bar association (Noida). The alleged incident occurred yesterday when Gaurav Bhatia arrived at the district court in Greater Noida’s Surajpur to appear in a case.

According to a letter from the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) to the Supreme Court, Gaurav was in the courtroom when lawyers of the Noida Bar Association misbehaved with him.

Meanwhile, bar association lawyers approached him and informed him of a continuing strike of lawyers in district court. Gaurav quickly acknowledged postponing his case hearing. Hence, the judges postponed his legal proceedings.

SCBA letter suggested despite the fact the case was postponed in the presence of district and sessions judge, a lawyer misbehaved and snatched the band of Gaurav Bhatia.

Gaurav Bhatia also turned to social media site X to share the Supreme Court Bar Association letter. He stated lawyers will give their lives for their families. But if you place your hand on the band, they will not tolerate it.
