The Court also reiterated its request that lawyers should not continuing boycotting court work over the incident. In response, the Court was assured that this concern would be shared with the protesting lawyers.
The bench expressed its anguish over a submission that police staff were seen conducting protests as well. The Court remarked that the police is expected to show “strict discipline” or it would be a case of the “fence swallowing the crop.”
The Court, however, stopped short of issuing any adverse orders against the police after the Advocate General assured that the matter is being looked into.
“What a section of the police staff has allegedly done is absolutely unacceptable to this Court and to the civil society, to say the least. Since learned Advocate General assures that the matter is being looked into seriously by higher-ups in the Department, we do not, at this stage of the proceeding, deliberate more on the same,” the Court said.
