Introduction

A high court stopped a legal case against a lawyer named Rajiv Menon. He had a problem with a judge during a trial.

Main Body

Rajiv Menon was a lawyer in a trial. The judge told him not to talk about a specific legal idea. But Mr. Menon talked about it anyway. The judge was angry and said Mr. Menon broke the rules. Another court looked at the case. They said the first judge did not follow the correct steps. The judge did not use the right process to start the case. Now the case is over. However, the judge can start it again if he asks a top government lawyer for help. Mr. Menon's friends say the judge was too strict.

The case is stopped now. It might start again later.
