New Delhi, October 15, 2025: A video from a virtual session of the Delhi High Court has gone viral, showing a lawyer engaging in inappropriate behavior before the hearing commenced. The incident occurred on Tuesday while participants were waiting for the judge to join the session.
The footage reveals the lawyer seated in his room, partially out of view of the camera, with only the side of his face visible. A woman in a saree stands before him as he pulls her hand, drawing her close. Despite her apparent hesitation, the lawyer proceeds to kiss her before she steps back.
The identities of the individuals involved have not been confirmed, and the authenticity of the video has not been independently verified. The Delhi High Court has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with users expressing concern over the breach of decorum and professionalism in virtual court proceedings. Some have called for disciplinary action against the lawyer involved.
This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding virtual court hearings in India. In June, a man attending a Gujarat High Court session was fined ₹1 lakh and ordered to perform 15 days of community service after it was revealed he was seated on a toilet during the proceedings.
The Delhi High Court is expected to address the matter in due course, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
