The Kerala High Court has strongly criticised a trial court for making 'wholly unwarranted' observations about a lawyer's drafting skills, LiveLaw reports. Justice Easwaran S. found the remarks uncalled for and said they required judicial scrutiny. The trial court had commented on the lawyer's competence while dismissing a petition. The High Court set aside that order and directed fresh consideration, noting that the lower court's approach was improper. Such judicial comments can undermine the legal profession, the High Court indicated.
