A shocking case has come up before the Madras High Court. A person claiming to be a practicing lawyer filed a petition seeking protection to run a brothel in Tamil Nadu. Angered by this, the court imposed a fine on the petitioner and asked him for his law degree.
The petitioner is running a brothel in Nagercoil, Kanyakumari. In this regard, the police has registered an FIR against him. To get this FIR quashed, he approached the High Court and demanded protection to run the brothel.
But Justice B Pugalendhi’s bench, while dismissing the petition, has asked the Bar Council to ensure that it gives membership only to graduates of reputed law colleges. Along with this, the court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the petitioner.

According to a Live Law report, the court said that it is high time that the Bar Council realises that the prestige of lawyers in society is constantly declining. The Bar Council should at least ensure that it gives membership only to graduates from reputed institutions.
The court was actually hearing two petitions filed by a person named lawyer Raja Murugan. Murugan had filed petitions to cancel the FIR registered against him and to issue an order to stop police interference in running a brothel.
Murugan said in the petition that he runs a trust in which services like counseling for consensual sex between adults, therapeutic oil baths are provided to people above the age of 18. On this, the High Court said that Murugan has misunderstood the Supreme Court’s decision in the Budhadev case. The High Court said that the Supreme Court had ensured prevention of trafficking and rehabilitation of sex workers under the Budhadev case.
Angered by these petitions, the High Court asked Murugan to produce his enrollment certificate and law degree so that his legal education and Bar Association membership could be verified. On this, the Additional Public Prosecutor told the court that Murugan is a B.Tech graduate and a member of the Bar Council.
