The Supreme Court has expressed irritation over remarks made by petitioner-advocate Mathews Nedumpara in a plea that accused the judiciary of favoritism in granting senior advocate designations. The court challenged Nedumpara's assertions that relatives of judges and influential individuals receive preferential treatment, which he claimed leads to the formation of a 'small cabal' among privileged lawyers. The court deemed these allegations unfounded and described them as 'scurrilous.' Additionally, the court issued a warning regarding a separate plea against advocates from the Delhi High Court, emphasizing the need for judicial integrity and decorum in courtroom proceedings.
