The episode took place on June 20 before the bench of Justice Nirjar S. Desai and was caught on video, which has since gone viral on social media. The video begins with a close-up of a man identified as 'Samad Battery', wearing earphones around his neck. As he adjusts his phone, it becomes apparent that he is seated in a toilet. The footage then shows him cleaning himself before exiting the washroom. He briefly goes off-screen and later reappears in a different room. Watch The Video Here Can we expect litigants to at least not take a dump while attending court! Hey bhagwan! 🤣🤣🤣 — sanjoy ghose (@advsanjoy) June 27, 2025 According to High Court records, the defendant was involved in a criminal case and was seeking the quashing of an FIR. After hearing arguments from both sides, the High Court decided to quash the FIR. The incident has sparked discussions about appropriate behaviour during virtual court proceedings. This is not the first instance of such misconduct. In April, the Gujarat High Court fined a litigant Rs 50,000 for inappropriate behaviour during a video conference. Similarly, in March, a Delhi court summoned a litigant who was seen smoking while pleading his case via video link. First Published: June 27, 2025, 19:03 IST

'We've Films With Ram, Sita In Title': HC To Censor Board Amid Row Over Suresh Gopi's 'JSK'
Last Updated: JSK's production company moved the Kerala High Court against delay by the CBFC to issue censor certificate to the film named "Janaki vs State of Kerala". The Kerala High Court on Friday questioned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on its order to withhold the certification for Union Minister Suresh Gopi's film JSK: Janaki vs State of Kerala. Deputy Solicitor General of India (DSGI), OM Shalina, who appeared for CBFC, said that the objection was regarding the central character of the film, named Janaki – a name associated with Hindu goddess Sita, Bar and Bench reported. To the objection, Justice N Nagaresh observed that there are several films with the names of gods and goddesses and yet censor certificates were issued in the past. 'Why should somebody change the name of a character? Janaki is a common name used everywhere. What religious purpose? We have movies with names Sita and Gita. Janaki is Sita. Nothing happened then. Nobody had any complaints. We have a film named Ram Lakhan. Nobody has any complaint. How come there are some complaints for Janaki now?" the court asked. The court's remarks came while hearing a petition filed by the film's production company Cosmos Entertainment, regarding the delay in censor certification. The petition mentioned that the application for film certification was submitted through the CBFC's e-cinepramaan portal on June 12. However, the CBFC has neither issued the certificate nor raised any official objections so far. It also noted that the CBFC had earlier given a censor certificate for the film's teaser trailer, Bar and Bench reported. Shalina informed the court that the film includes mature themes such as sexual crimes against women and the use of explicit language referring to women. According to the petitioner, the CBFC was delaying the certificate due to its informal objections to the film's title and the character name 'Janaki'. 'Even though no official communication or show cause notice have been received from the respondents, from the newspaper reports, the petitioner came to know that the censor board had directed to change in the title as well as the name of the titular character of Janaki, by citing that it refers to the Hindu goddess 'Sita", which shows the inconsistency and arbitrariness in the stand now taken by the Censor Board in objecting to the same title and character name at the stage of certifying the full film, despite having previously granted certification for the teaser without raising any such concerns," the petition said. The petitioner also said that the film was set for worldwide release on June 27 and the delay amounts to a violation of the fundamental right to free speech. Stating that this would cause 'irreparable financial loss" to the company, the company urged the court to order the CBFC to issue a censor certificate to the film expeditiously. At the previous hearing, the Court had chosen to wait for the decision of the CBFC's revising committee. The committee met on June 26 and issued a show cause notice to the production company, stating that the name 'Janaki" must be removed from the film's title, character name, dialogues, and anywhere else it appears. The Court then directed the Deputy Solicitor General of India (DSGI) to submit a copy of the notice and scheduled the next hearing for Monday, June 30. First Published: June 27, 2025, 16:51 IST
