In contrast, Writ is filed against this Court itself. He ought to have impleaded the Supreme Court of India in the Writ application through Secretary General. The omission indicates careless conduct on the part of the petitioner and that the petition was filed in undue haste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>On the merits of the case:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rejecting the claims by the petitioner, the Court said that<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cit has become a widespread practice to blame the Registry for no good reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the petition was listed, the petitioner circulated a letter to the effect that, as per procedure, he expected that he would be called for interaction by Registrar of this Court to find out his fitness whether he could argue a case in person. On this the Court said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe petitioner ought to know that he is an Advocate of this Court and argues the matter in this Court. \u00a0As such, it was not necessary to summon him for adjudging his capability as to whether he could argue the case. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the letter circulated by him, it was further stated that he wanted to collect the evidence and to file it, and for that purpose, he prayed for six weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe conduct indicates that the petitioner was careless and not serious while he made the allegations.\u00a0 He filed writ application without due inquiries, and without collecting the requisite material.\u00a0 Such conduct was least expected of an officer of this Court. Petitioner ought to have been careful before cast of unnecessary aspersions on the Registry and staff of this Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the Court said that it expects from the Registry to work efficiently and effectively, at the same time, it is expected of the lawyers also to remove the defects effectively and not to unnecessarily cast aspersions on the system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court also took judicial notice of the fact that such evil is also spreading in the various High Courts, and Registry is blamed unnecessarily for no good reasons and asked lawyers to remember that they are the part of the judicial system; they are officers of the Court and are a class apart in the society.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Registry is nothing but an arm of this Court and an extension of its dignity. Bar is equally respected and responsible part of the integral system, Registry is part and parcel of the system, and the system has to work in tandem and mutual reverence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court went on to state that the staff of this Court is working despite danger to their life and safety caused due to pandemic, and several of the Dealing Staff, as well as Officers, have suffered due to Covid\u00ad19.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDuring such a hard time, it was not expected of the petitioner who is an officer of this Court to file such a petition to demoralize the Registry of this Court instead of recognizing the task undertaken by them even during pandemic and lockdown period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, asked the petitioner to be more careful and live up to the dignity of the profession which it enjoys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Reepak Kansal v.
