On Tuesday, a Senior Executive of GAIL was found recording the entire court proceedings on his mobile phone while the sales tax revisions were being heard by Justice Shekhar B. Saraf.
During the proceedings, when it was found that the officer was recording the proceedings, his phone was confiscated by the Court. The Bench Secretary was directed to delete the recording from the mobile phone.
While releasing the case, Justice Saraf observed
“While the matter was being heard, it has come to the notice of this Court that an employee of GAIL was recording the entire proceedings of the Court in a surreptitious manner by his mobile phone. The manner in which the gentleman, a senior executive of M/s GAIL India Limited, was recording the proceedings, without having taken prior permission from the Court, is not at all acceptable and the practice is deprecated, to say the least.”
The five revisions filed by M/s GAIL India Ltd. will now be placed before the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court for appropriate orders.
