The Court was dealing with a plea by a lawyer who had raised concern that it has become a routine practice in district courts to not inform advocates and litigants about the dates on which cases are listed.
The Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, which sought to levy property tax under the commercial category for advocates conducting their legal practice from home.
The New Delhi Bar Association asked judicial officers to not pass any adverse orders for non-appearance of advocates on January 22, the day on which the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya is slated to be consecrated.
