Chaos broke out at Ghaziabad district court today after an argument between a judge and a lawyer. As more lawyers gathered in the judge's chamber and created a ruckus, police had to be called in to bring the situation under control. Shocking visuals showed cops lifting chairs and chasing the lawyers away. Later, paramilitary personnel also joined the security action to control the situation.
Reports said several lawyers were injured and the Bar Association has now called a meeting to discuss the situation. After they were chased out of the judge's chamber, the lawyers gathered outside and staged a demonstration against the security forces' action against them.
The judge and the lawyer had an altercation over a bail petition, police said. "In the judge's chamber, a matter relating to an anticipatory bail was being heard. Several lawyers were present. They demanded the transfer of the petition. On being refused, they became aggressive. Police responded by sending the lawyers to their chambers. The advocates also damaged furniture. We are scanning CCTV footage and taking the required steps," said Dinesh Kumar P, Additional Commissioner of Police, Ghaziabad.
