New Delhi, November 4: Clash broke out out between Delhi Police and lawyers at Karkardooma court in Delhi’s Anand Vihar area on Monday. According to the input, an advocate thrashed a police officer after which the clash broke out.
This scuffle comes two days after the clash between police and lawyers at Tis Hazari Court complex in which at least 20 police personnel and a number of advocates were injured while many vehicles vandalised or set ablaze.
Six cases were registered on separate complaints of the district judge of Tis Hazari court, four advocates, and a Delhi Police constable who was injured in the incident, Delhi Police Anil Mittal said.
Four cases have been registered against police personnel on the complaints of as many advocates, including a woman, on the charges of attempt to murder, voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful confinement, criminal intimidation, theft and use of criminal force on woman with the intent of outraging her modesty.
Another case was filed on the complaint of a police constable, injured in the incident, on the charge of obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions, assault, attempt to murder, rioting and robbery, Mittal said.
All the six cases have been transferred to the special investigation team (SIT) of the Crime Branch, which will further probe the matter.
Meanwhile, advocates in the Delhi High Court and all district courts in the city have decided to abstain from work on Monday to protest against the Tis Hazari clash that took place on Saturday.
The lawyers said they would not participate in any of the judicial work and only proxy counsel would appear in the courts to take dates in various matters.
