‘Courtroom, not a cinema hall!': Gujarat HC slaps fines on men who joined virtual hearing from bed and toilet

Two men faced penalties for casual disregard of courtroom decorum during virtual Gujarat high court hearings. Dhaval Patel was fined Rs 2 lakh and sentenced to two weeks of community service for joining from a lavatory, while Vamdev Gadhvi was fined Rs 25,000 for appearing while lying on his bed. Both actions compromised the court's dignity.
