Guy Joins Gujarat HC Hearing While on the Toilet – And the Internet Can’t Handle It
Okay, so here’s the thing—imagine you’re in a serious court hearing. Now picture one of the people involved is literally sitting on the toilet. Yep, that actually happened. A video from a Gujarat High Court hearing went viral this week showing exactly that, and honestly? The internet is losing its mind over it.
Wait, What Actually Went Down?
So here’s the scene: virtual court hearing, pretty standard stuff these days. But then—bam—there’s this guy, clearly chilling on his porcelain throne while responding to the judge. No shame, no attempt to hide it. Just a dude handling legal business while… handling other business. The clip spread like wildfire because, come on, how could it not?
Some people thought it was hilarious. Others? Not so much. There’s this one lawyer who tweeted something like, “This is why we can’t have nice things,” and honestly, I get where they’re coming from.
The Backstory (What We Know)
From what I gathered, this was some FIR cancellation case—those police report things—where our toilet guy was the respondent. The details are kinda fuzzy, but here’s what’s interesting: this whole mess shows how virtual hearings, which seemed like such a good idea post-COVID, can go sideways real quick.
Courts kept these remote options because, hey, convenience. But this? This is the dark side of convenience right here.
What’s the Court Saying?
As of now? Crickets. No official word from the High Court. But I talked to my cousin’s friend who’s a lawyer (not in Gujarat, but still), and she said the guy could totally get slapped with contempt charges. Makes you wonder—should there be actual rules about this stuff? Like a “no bathroom appearances” clause?
People Are Wildin’ on Social Media
Twitter’s having a field day with this. Memes everywhere—my personal favorite is the one comparing it to that “distracted boyfriend” stock photo. But the legal folks? They’re not laughing as hard. One senior advocate told a newspaper, “It’s not just disrespectful, it undermines the entire system.” Harsh, but fair.
And get this—apparently this isn’t even the first time something like this happened. There was a case in the US where someone joined from the beach. Like, full-on swim trunks and sunglasses. What is wrong with people?
The Real Problem Here
Look, the toilet thing is funny (don’t lie, you chuckled), but it points to a bigger issue. Virtual courtrooms are here to stay, but we haven’t figured out the etiquette yet. Most places have those unofficial rules—wear proper clothes, use a normal background, don’t eat during proceedings. But maybe it’s time to make them official?
Think about it—would this guy have done this in an actual courtroom? No way. So why’s it okay just because it’s on Zoom?
Wrapping This Up
At the end of the day, this is equal parts ridiculous and concerning. Technology’s great until someone ruins it for everyone by being, well, human. Should there be stricter rules? Probably. Will people still find ways to mess up? Absolutely.
What do you think—is this just a funny one-off, or do we need to seriously rethink how virtual hearings work? Hit me up in the comments.
