Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh high court has found a noble way to snub a lawyer in Gwalior in the state for repeatedly giving a miss to the hearings in a case of his client by asking him to undertake community service at a blind home.
The high court has directed the lawyer to spend one hour with the visually impaired and underprivileged children at Madhav Blind Home in Gwalior and distribute them food items worth Rs 10,000.
This is not ‘punitive in nature’ but a gesture at sensitization, the court has observed.
He contended that his petition had been dismissed on technical ground because his lawyer could not attend the proceedings as he was busy in another court.
The court asked the lawyer to comply with its community service order within 15 days.
