Prayagraj, July 2 (TIWN) The Allahabad High Court has taken a stern view of lawyers appearing in multi-coloured shirts and vests during the virtual hearings.

"Appearance of advocates in casual attire is very inappropriate and unacceptable in any circumstance. Advocates should understand that their appearance for hearing of cases through virtual mode from their house or office or chamber is like an extended courtroom and it is as serious as attending a proceeding inside a court," the court said in its order during the hearing of a case.   The single judge bench further prescribed a dress code for lawyers.
