Plea filed in Supreme Court seeking probe into fake advocates, ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ activities

The plea arises out of proceedings held on May 15, during which concerns were expressed regarding procedural misuse of courts, conferment of Senior Advocate designation and deterioration of professional standards within the legal profession. According to the petition, certain metaphorical “cockroach” references used during spontaneous courtroom exchanges were subsequently selectively clipped, meme-ified, mimicked, commercially circulated, and transformed into viral digital content detached from constitutional and procedural context.
