New Delhi : The Delhi High court Monday slapped a fine of Rs.50,000 on a lawyer practicing in the capital for raising petty issues and claiming an undue compensation.
Justice S.N. Aggarwal imposed the fine on advocate B. Raghunandan after he claimed a compensation of Rs.10 million from a telephone booth owner.
Raghunandan approached the court after a quarrel with the booth owner over a phone call and alleged that the owner slapped and humiliated him in public.
In his petition, the lawyer termed himself as a “whistle blower” and a representative of an educated society.
However, dismissing his contention, the court termed him as a “black mailer” and imposed the fine on him.
