Toilet trouble: Man attends Gujarat High Court hearing from bathroom, watch video
A video showing a man attending a Gujarat High Court hearing while seated on a toilet has gone viral, triggering widespread outrage over recurring instances of inappropriate behaviour during virtual court proceedings. The incident occurred on June 20 before Justice Nirzar S Desai. The man, logged in under the name 'Samad Battery', initially appeared on screen with a Bluetooth earphone around his neck. Moments later, he adjusted his camera—revealing he was sitting on a toilet. The footage further shows him cleaning himself and exiting the bathroom before rejoining the hearing from another room. Court records indicate that the man was a respondent in a petition seeking to quash an FIR, where he was also the original complainant. The matter had been amicably resolved between the parties, and the FIR was subsequently quashed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thới Hưng: Nhà tiền chế lắp đặt chỉ trong 1 ngày (Xem thêm) Nomad's Notebook Nhấp vào đây Undo — Benarasiyaa (@Benarasiyaa) Many took to social media to mock the incident, while others expressed outrage. Live Events "It's nature's call. Justice can be delayed, but not this call," quipped one user. In a lighter vein, another X user wrote, "Should he be jailed for five years for not flushing?" "In a country where justice is delayed, at least this man didn't delay that call," tweeted another. One user called for strict action, saying, "Only lawyers should be allowed to attend virtual hearings. If a client wishes to join, it must be from the lawyer's chamber. Such incidents bring global embarrassment. Imagine the audacity—this must be punished strictly." However, this is not an isolated incident. In April, the Gujarat High Court fined a litigant ₹50,000 for smoking during a virtual hearing. Similarly, in March, a Delhi court summoned a participant who was caught smoking during online proceedings. Courts across India have repeatedly reminded litigants and advocates to maintain courtroom decorum during virtual hearings and to approach them with the same seriousness as in-person appearances.

NBFCs put IPO plans on fast track, could raise over Rs 30,000cr
Mumbai : Non-bank lenders are expected to rush initial public offerings (IPO) to benefit from an easier regulatory regime, lower interest rates, an improving credit cycle, and increasingly positive market sentiment that has taken the broadest equity gauges to their highest in nearly nine months. There are several NBFCs that already have IPO approvals from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). But they were seeking a better market opportunity, and are likely to speed up listing plans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nhà tiền chế 2025: Lựa chọn nhà ở giá cả phải chăng (Xem ngay) Nomad's Notebook Nhấp vào đây Undo Vehicle and business loan company SK Finance , education loan focused Avanse Financial and Credila Financial and MSME loan company Veritas Finance are expected to raise an aggregate amount of ₹13,500 crore, bankers said. ET Bureau There is also a likely bumper IPO from the $400-billion market cap salt-to-steel Tata Group as its long incubated NBFC, Tata Capital, plans to raise ₹17,200 crore in what could be among the largest public issues this fiscal. Live Events 'Conditions are more favourable for NBFCs that have lined up for the capital markets because of the regulatory change of stance, ample liquidity in the banking system, and a favourable rate cycle,' said Ajay Saraf, executive director, ICICI Securities, one of the bankers appointed to manage the ₹2,200 crore SK Finance issue and the bumper Tata Capital sale. Analysts and bankers said the central bank's reduction in risk weights for bank lending to NBFCs in this fiscal along with the cumulative 100 basis points cut in the benchmark repo rate in 2025 calendar so far should address the funding challenge NBFCs faced in 2024. One basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point. 'The worst of the NBFC credit cycle is also behind us. The elevated credit costs that we saw in 2024 are easing, so it is fair to expect that in the second and third quarter onwards we could see some capital raising from the NBFCs,' said Shreepal Doshi, lead analyst, NBFCs, Equirus Securities. To be sure, most of the IPO-bound NBFCs are backed by private equity funds, which are looking to fully or partially exit the companies. SK Finance counts Norwest Venture Partners, TPG Growth, Baring Private Equity India and Motilal Oswal's PE arm — MO Alternate Investment Advisors as investors. Credila Financial, promoted by the erstwhile HDFC, now counts EQT and ChrysCapital as it's majority investors, while Kedaara Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, British International Investment (BII), Lok Capital and Growth Catalyst are investors in Veritas.
