Lawyer seeks protection to run brothel
The Free Press Journal|July 26, 2024
The Madras High Court has expressed "shock" after it learnt that a petitioner who claimed to be a practicing advocate had filed a petition seeking protection to run a brothel in Nagercoil in Kanyakumari district.

The Bar and Bench reports that Justice B Pugalendhi of the Madurai bench not only dismissed the petition with costs of Rs10,000 on the petitioner but also directed the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to ascertain the "genuineness" of the petitioner's enrolment with the Bar Council and education certificates.

In an order passed on July 5, the single-judge also said that it was high time that the Bar Council took note of the decline in reputation of lawyers in the society and said that the Bar body must enrol only members from reputed colleges. "This court is shocked that an advocate in robes is claiming that he is running a brothel centre and has filed this writ petition seeking some protection for running this brothel centre," the High Court said.
