SG Tushar Mehta takes swipe at ‘bully’ judges in his book

Senior advocate Tushar Mehta's upcoming book criticizes some judges for exhibiting 'judicial bullying' due to excessive courtroom reverence. He argues that while judges face immense pressure, this cannot justify incivility, as the public expects high standards from an institution they cannot easily remove. Mehta highlights the power imbalance lawyers face when confronting arrogant judges.
