Appearing in the court on behalf of Mr. Bhattacharya, senior advocate Sidharth Luthra submitted that a bail application was filed by one of the lawyers in the trial court despite the absence of a summoning order. "Why don't you have a law academy for lawyers? "If judges can go to the National Judicial Academy, why not lawyers? It is not that nobody knows it, the problem is that nobody wants to implement it," the Bench observed orally.
