The Supreme Court of India on Friday (May 11, 2026) said a verbal exchange between a young advocate and a judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, widely circulated on social media, was amicably resolved with the intervention of the Chief Justice of the High Court, who separately interacted with both the lawyer and the judge.
The May 6 incident in the court room which showed the judge summoning police personnel to take the lawyer to a day’s judicial custody had galvanised both the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the Bar Council of India to send representations to the Chief Justice to India, who had taken so motu cognisance.
