No white shirts, black pants: Gurgaon District Bar Association's ‘dress code' for non-advocates
Planning to visit the district court in Gurgaon? You'd better be careful with the colour of the attire you are going to throw on. The District Bar Association of Gurugram recently passed a resolution restricting non-advocates from wearing white shirts and black pants, the prescribed attire for enrolled advocates, on the district court premises. The decision seeks to address concerns over misidentification and aims to uphold the professional decorum of the legal fraternity, the bar association stated in its resolution on June 5. The resolution noted that 'a number of individuals who are not enrolled advocates or recognised law interns are frequently seen on the District Court premises wearing attire identical or similar to the prescribed professional dress of advocates, namely white shirts and black pants.' It has caused 'confusion, misidentification, and in some cases, resulted in disruption to the decorum and discipline of court proceedings', the resolution noted. Outlining strict guidelines, the resolution stated that 'only enrolled advocates and bona fide law interns duly authorised and registered with advocates' will be allowed to wear what is considered lawyer's attire. 'No other individual, including clerks, touts, litigants, or members of the general public, shall be allowed to wear white shirts and black pants in a manner resembling advocate attire,' it added. To ensure compliance, the Bar Association will coordinate with court administration and security staff. Violators may face a fine of Rs 5,000 and further action, it said. The resolution emphasises the bar body's intent 'to preserve the identity, dignity, and discipline of the legal profession, and ensure that the trust and privileges associated with the advocate's uniform are not misused.' Speaking with The Indian Express, the association's secretary, Rahul Dhankar, said the move was aimed at preventing touts from duping the litigants. 'Even today (Monday), many alleged touts wearing (black) surgical coats were let off with a warning. Earlier this week, two had entered a courtroom pretending to be lawyers. We had been getting several such complaints. Our aim is to help people not get trapped by them,' Dhankar added. When asked whether the association had the power to impose and collect fines, and pass a resolution on clothes, he said, 'We will do whatever is needed to be done to help innocent litigants. As for fines, they will go to welfare funds, and (for everything) we will take necessary permissions from the judiciary as well as the police, because impersonation is a serious offence. The court staff is with us; we will speak and coordinate with them.'

Hindu Munnani moves High Court seeking grant of permission for setting up temporary miniatures of Lord Murugan's six abodes
Hindu Munnani has moved the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the authorities concerned to grant permission for setting up temporary miniatures of the six abodes of Lord Murugan at 'Muruga Bakthargalin Aanmeega Maanadu' scheduled be held in Madurai. Justice B. Pugalendhi directed the Madurai City Police to file a counter affidavit. The court was hearing the petition filed by Hindu Munnani's State Secretary S. Muthukumar of Madurai. The petitioner said Hindu Munnani had decided to arrange a gathering of devotees of Lord Murugan on June 22 for the event in Amma Thidal near Pandi Kovil Ring Road. Miniatures of Arupadai Veedugal will be installed, pujas will be performed and prasadam will be distributed to the devotees, he said, adding that sthalapuranam of the six abodes will be displayed. Apart from this, the devotees will be chanting Kanda Shashti Kavacham and Thiruppugazh at the conference. Spiritual and cultural programmes will be held. The place of gathering was a private land and the land owner had given his consent, he said. A representation was made to the Madurai City Police seeking permission to use sound amplifiers during the event. There was no response from the police. The police have been regularly granting permission for using sound amplifiers in Amma Thidal for public meetings. A representation was also made for arranging darshan of the miniatures from June 10 to June 22. The police rejected permission for usage of microphone sets and to set up miniatures and temporary models, the petitioner said. He alleged that the police team came to the place where the miniatures were being made and threatened the workers and volunteers asking them not proceed with the making of the miniatures. The petitioner sought a direction to the police to grant permission to set up the miniatures of the six abodes of Lord Murugan at the venue and conduct the pujas. The court posted the matter for hearing on June 9.
