NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of India, the apex regulator of legal profession and education, has written a letter to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud flagging "troubling behaviour" of the High Court judges inside the courtroom with the advocates and urging to bring in reforms to preserve professional decorum and ensure the legal process remains fair, just and free from intimidation.

Citing an "alarming incident" with senior advocate P Wilson in the Madras High Court recently, BCI Chairman and BJP Rajya Sabha MP Manan Kumar Mishra, in a letter, said it underscored the urgent need for reforms in how courtroom decorum and interactions between advocates and the judiciary are managed, and ensuring that no advocate no matter their level of experience, is subjected to public rebuke, humiliation, or intimidation while carrying out their duties.
