“Judges shouldn’t consider themselves as gods,” senior advocate of the Allahabad high court Anil Tiwari told The Wire on Thursday (July 11). https://thewire.in/law/allahabad-high-court-bar-association-up-in-arms-against-god-syndrome-of-judges
This was the second day that the High Court Bar Association (HCBA) of Allahabad abstained from judicial work accusing judges of misconduct towards lawyers and failure of the court administration to address their grievances.
Tiwari, the president of the HCBA, Allahabad said their protest was against the “Bhagwan syndrome” (god syndrome) that plagued many judges. He underlined that certain judges in the high court misbehaved with lawyers and even insulting them during hearings. “They should realise they are humans and public servants,” Tiwari said, accusing judges of using threatening and demeaning language in court towards advocates.
