The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Wednesday condemned the recent police lathicharge on lawyers in a Ghaziabad court and demanded an inquiry against the judge who called the police force to remove lawyers shouting slogans against him over a disagreement.

“The SC Bar Association strongly condemns the inhumane and violent act of police on advocates inside court premises in Ghaziabad, UP, under the direction of Anil Kumar-X (District & Sessions Judge, Ghaziabad),” the SCBA resolution read. It called upon the Bar Council of India and state bar councils to take necessary steps to protect the rights of the advocates. Lawyers and police personnel came to blows in a Ghaziabad court on October 29 after the judge summoned the police to remove a group of protesting lawyers. “The bar association shall not tolerate any attack on the prestige of advocates,” the SCBA said.
