Avoid contact with lawyers: Madras high court to subordinate judges
CHENNAI: Maintain a degree of aloofness, and avoid personal contact with individual lawyers and closed-chamber meetings with advocates practicing in the same court. These are among Madras high court’s latest set of advisories to subordinate judicial officers in Tamil Nadu, urging them to maintain professional decorum and uphold the integrity of the judiciary.
An official circular issued on April 18 by HC’s registrar-general states: “Judicial officers of the district judiciary shall avoid mobile contacts and closed chamber meetings with practicing advocates, unless it is necessary to have such chamber meetings and mobile contact with the Bar association office bearers relating to common issues and the smooth functioning of the court.”
Every judicial officer must at all times be conscious that they are under the public gaze, and there should be no act or omission by them that is unbecoming of the high office they occupy and the public esteem in which that office is held, the circular says. It also calls upon subordinate judicial officers to adhere strictly to judicial ethics, with a focus on behaviour and conduct that reaffirms public trust in the impartiality of the judiciary.
