Case against Bar chief, lawyers strike
Sanjay Yadav, TNN, Oct 17, 2010, 03.29am IST
GURGAON: The city-based lawyers started a two-day strike on Saturday
after one of the sitting first class judicial magistrates lodged a
case against three advocates, including the bar president and
secretary. The cases have been lodged under the SC/ST Act and Section
506 of the IPC (threat to kill).
Lawyers went on strike about 12 pm after learning that the magistrate
had lodged the FIR at City Police station on Friday night. According
to police, magistrate Anklur Lal alleged in his complaint that the
three accused had made casteist remarks and threatened to kill him.
Till late evening, the protesting lawyers did not allow the courts to
function. They said that the protest would continue till the case was
withdrawn and the judge was shifted from the city.
The case is now being investigated and ACP (City) Sumer Singh Yadav
has been deputed for this case. On the basis of the findings we will
take necessary steps, said Maheshwar Dayal, DCP (West).
According to a senior police officer, on Friday when there was hearing
of a case in Lals court, one of the advocates in this case Vikas Yadav
was asked to leave the court room. We did not know what exactly
prompted the judge to ask the lawyer to get out of the room. But it
happened during the course of argument, the officer said.
Sources said that an upset Yadav rushed to the bar association
president Meer Singh Yadav. Then Yadav and association secretary Ajay
Chaudhry went to the court room. Police said that when Lal did not
listen to them, they made casteist remarks against the judge.
Only by Saturday afternoon, the accused came to know of the case bring
registered against them based on the statement of the magistrate.
However, Chaudhry refuted all charges. The case is baseless and we
want it to be withdrawn immediately. We also want him to be shifted
out from here, advocate Kulbhushan Bhardwaj said.
