‘Cockroaches’ attacking system: SC rebukes over growing assaults on judiciary

The Supreme Court has come down hard on growing and unwarranted attacks on the judiciary and legal system. It described some individuals as "cockroaches" who, due to unemployment, become activists and target institutions. The court expressed disapproval of a petitioner's conduct, questioning whether the designation of a senior advocate is a status symbol or a distinction conferred by the court. The bench refused to entertain the plea and warned against using language inconsistent with the discipline expected from members of the legal profession.
