A video of Jharkhand High Court is going viral rapidly on social media. In this video, people are praising a judge, who showed generosity along with strict professional attitude. In the video, the judge is reprimanding a lawyer because she had come to argue in the court without reading the case file properly. The incident has sparked a huge debate about the responsibilities of lawyers, courtroom preparation and protecting the rights of people facing criminal cases.
Judge raised questions on lawyer’s preparation
During the hearing, the judge repeatedly emphasized that the lawyers were arguing without knowing the case records. He reminded the lawyer that this was not the first time such a mistake had been made. The judge told the lawyer that court records are not only for judges but also for lawyers to read. He advised that if there is no time for preparation, then take fewer cases rather than taking on more cases than you can handle.
The judge explained, “You are not arguing a bail matter, you are arguing a revision petition. You have to give reasons.” He stressed that legal arguments should not be based on mere conjecture but on the basis of case records.
“Somebody’s freedom is at stake.”
The most powerful moment of the hearing came when the judge reminded the lawyer that this case involved a person’s freedom. He asked the lawyer to visit the jail one day so that he can understand what happens to the clients waiting for justice. The judge said that every case should be prepared carefully because a person’s freedom can depend on the competence of the lawyer. When the lawyer clarified that he did not intend to give a false argument, the judge replied that the issue was not about intention, but about hard work and dedication.
When the lawyer cried, the judge encouraged her.
As the arguments progressed, the lawyer became emotional and started crying in the courtroom. Seeing this, the judge’s tone immediately softened. He consoled the lawyer and said there was no need to cry. Praising the lawyer’s ability, she said that she has always considered him a good lawyer. The judge further said that her rebuke was only because she expected him to prepare better and was confident that the lawyer could do so.

Many people compared her to a teacher or mother, who corrects mistakes and encourages her to move forward. At the same time, some people say that this conversation has highlighted the importance of preparation, responsibility and ethics in the legal profession.
