Telangana High Court quashes adverse remarks against lawyer
The Story in Brief
The Telangana High Court has set aside adverse remarks a trial court made against a plaintiff's lawyer, after finding the court's own records did not support the allegations. Justice K. Lakshman said 'Bench and the Bar have a shared responsibility to uphold the dignity and decorum of the judicial process.' The remarks were contained in a docket order dated August 17, 2026 from a junior civil judge at Kushaiguda.
The plaintiffs, D. Venkatalakshmi and another, had filed a 2021 suit seeking a declaration of title and challenging a sale deed said to have been executed by Venkatalakshmi's husband in 2000. Lawyer K. Mohan argued that the record showed both counsel present on most hearing dates. The High Court also noted Venkatalakshmi is about 82, and directed the trial court to decide the two pending applications and the suit expeditiously, in accordance with law.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both livelaw.in and siasat.com cover the Telangana High Court's decision with near-identical straight reporting. Each leads with the court's ruling that the trial court's adverse remarks were unsupported by its own records, and both quote the same 'shared responsibility' line. Siasat adds fuller detail of the trial judge's allegations against the lawyer, but neither outlet frames the outcome as a win or loss for any side. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting. The concrete next step is the trial court's December 21, 2026 hearing, which will now proceed under the High Court's direction for expeditious disposal.
