A video of a heated argument between a judge and a lawyer in the Madhya Pradesh High Court has gone viral on social media. The video shows a courtroom interaction that suddenly escalated into a tense exchange, drawing significant attention online. It is reported that the incident occurred during a hearing presided over by Justice Vivek Agrawal, where a lawyer was persistently arguing with him.
As soon as the video surfaced, it sparked various reactions on social media. In the video, the judge can be seen asking the lawyer, “Where did you learn to argue like this?” In response, the lawyer immediately replied, “Sir, I learned it from you.” This response triggered the judge’s anger, and he retorted, “Oh really? When did I teach you to argue in this manner? You could be issued a contempt notice for this behavior. Do not take it lightly.”
The lawyer, maintaining his stance, responded firmly, “If arguing is contempt, then I will do it 100 times.” The judge, clearly displeased, asked why the lawyer claimed to have learned it from him. The lawyer replied, “You were a lawyer once, and so was I. You were my senior, and I learned from you.”
The judge, becoming more irritated, warned the lawyer to avoid making frivolous comments. In response, the lawyer said, “If fighting for rights is considered contempt, then I will do it 1,001 times.”
