Another video of Karnataka HC judge making gender-insensitive comment surfaces
In previous video, Judge was seen referring Muslim dominated area in Bengaluru as Pakistan
Bengaluru: Hours after a video of Karnataka High Court judge Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda referring to a Muslim-majority area in West Bengaluru as "Pakistan" went viral, another video has surfaced showing the judge making a gender-insensitive remark.
In this newly surfaced video, Justice Srishananda is seen reprimanding a woman lawyer for answering a question directed at the counsel for the opposite party. The judge, in a light-hearted manner, commented that the woman seemed to know so much about the opposite party that she might even reveal the colour of his undergarments next.
The video captures the judge first questioning a male lawyer, asking, "You can’t write on a cheque just because it is empty. He will go to jail for 3 years. Do you understand that?" The male advocate responded in the affirmative, following which the judge inquired if the person in question was an income tax assessee.
Before the male lawyer could answer, the opposing counsel, a woman lawyer, replied that the individual was indeed an income tax assessee. The judge then asked her why she was responding, saying, "Wait, amma," prompting the lawyer to apologise. Justice Srishananda then added, "You know everything about him. If asked tomorrow, you will tell what colour of undergarment he wears," smiling as he made the comment, which also drew smiles from the other counsel present.
This second video has stirred further outrage on social media, with many demanding action against the judge for his inappropriate comment.
Senior Advocate Indira Jaising shared the video on her X account, calling for the Chief Justice of India to take suo motu action. "We call upon the Chief Justice of India to take suo motu action against this judge and send him for gender sensitisation training," Jaising posted.
One more video of the judge is currently viral.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
