Lawyers reportedly vandalized the courtroom of Justice Ajay Bhanot at Allahabad high court
The incident came a day after the newly elected office-bearers of the High Court Bar Association sought Chief Justice Arun Bhansali’s intervention over an alleged incident involving the judge on October 27. The incident followed a letter sent by the newly elected office-bearers of the high court Bar Association to Chief Justice Arun Bhansali on Tuesday through the Registrar General, seeking action over the judge’s alleged conduct during court proceedings on October 27.
A Superintendent of Police officer was seated in the row behind the additional government advocate (AGA) when an advocate asked him to move to the row behind, saying the seat was not his, according to the letter. The AGA allegedly rebuked the advocate and told him that he would complain to the judge. When the advocate sought forgiveness, the judge allegedly directed him to apologise to the police officer, the letter stated.
