The Allahabad High Court on Thursday suspended a bundle lifter/court jamadar for receiving money through PayTM from lawyers on the court premises.
The man found a novel way for receiving money from the lawyers by flashing a PayTM code on his waist. The disciplinary action was taken after his photo went viral, in which a lawyer is seen scanning the code for the tips.
Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal took the matter seriously and called for action to be taken against the jamadar, who was attached with the Court of Justice Ajit Singh, after many lawyers complained about the person’s habit of seeking tips.
During the suspension period, he will be attached to the nazarat (process serving agency) section of the High Court and not leave the station without prior approval of the Registrar.
