Delhi lawyer protests following alleged police assault

Overview

Lawyers at Rohini Court in Delhi have initiated a strike and prohibited police from entering court premises. The protest follows the alleged manhandling of advocate Kamaldeep at the Mahendra Park Police Station on September 29.

The Rohini Court Bar Association announced a complete abstention from judicial work, citing a breach of trust. While senior police officials had reportedly assured the Bar's executive committee that action would be taken against the involved officers, a case was instead registered against the advocate. The association stated that such actions constitute “a form of intimidation against the legal fraternity” and emphasized the need to protect the “dignity and professional independence of advocates.”
