Overview

  • A three-judge bench took suo motu cognisance, impleading the Tis Hazari Bar Association president and senior Delhi Police officials as respondents.
  • The court directed the DCP (North) to provide the aggrieved lawyer with 24x7 protection, subject to a threat review after 10 days.
  • The Principal District and Sessions Judge was asked to inquire into the episode, including seeking the presiding officer’s account, and to file a report.
  • Delhi Police said FIRs are being registered on rival complaints and was ordered to preserve CCTV, with the investigation led by an ACP under the DCP’s supervision.
  • The bench noted the incident, if true, erodes courtroom dignity and set the matter for February 24, after the CJI earlier condemned “gunda raj” and urged a written complaint to the Delhi High Court.
