A video of a man logging into a virtual Gujarat High Court hearing from a bathroom has gone viral on social media. The incident, which occurred on June 20 before Justice Nirzar S Desai, has now become the subject of wide online attention after legal platform Bar and Bench shared the video.The man, appearing under the name 'Samad Battery', initially showed only a close-up frame with Bluetooth earphones around his neck. But moments later, the camera angle shifted to reveal that he was seated on a toilet. advertisement
What followed left little to the imagination. He seemingly proceeded to wipe himself and eventually left the washroom, returning on screen shortly after from what looked like a different room.Watch the video here: According to Bar and Bench, court records identified the man as the original complainant in a case concerning the quashing of a First Information Report (FIR). He appeared as a respondent during the hearing. The FIR was eventually quashed, as both parties involved informed the court of an amicable settlement.The video, predictably, has triggered a wave of reactions online. While many users criticised the blatant lack of court etiquette, others chose humour to deal with the second-hand embarrassment.- Ends
