COURT SLAPS FINE FOR NOISY MOBILE -- A 25 year old youth, Prakash R
Poojary, who carried his mobile phone in the court room while attending a
criminal case this evening, was convicted and fined Rs 200 by Judicial
Magistrate First Class Shekar V Parab.  The incident occured when the
court was in function and the youth entered in the courtroom with a mobile
phone in his pocket. Suddenly, the court was disturbed when Poojary's
mobile started ringing.  Realising this grave mistake, the youth ran out
but was summoned and issued a show cause notice as to why action should
not be taken against him in view of the ban of carrying mobiles in the
court room.  The youth was luckily accompanied by his lawyer D S Nadkarni
through whom Poojary tendered an unconditional apology giving an assurance
that he wont repeat such mistake again.  Accordingly, the judge convicted
the youth for the offence and ordered him to pay a fine of Rs 200 and in
default to undergo two days simple imprisonment.
