Lawyers vs Delhi Police LIVE: As litigants continue with their demonstrations outside various courts in Delhi, Bar Council chairman Manan Mishra has said that the issue has been raised with the Supreme Court. Terming the actions taken by the police as illegal, Mishra claimed, that they “are misusing their powers”. The statement comes as tensions remain high in the national capital over a series of confrontation between the two wings of law and order. On Wednesday morning, the violent feud was further escalated when two lawyers threatened to commit suicide. While a lawyer, identified as one Ashish, poured kerosene on himself but was stopped by his colleagues in time, another threatened to jump off the building. The group of lawyers then raised slogans against the police, chanting ‘Delhi Police haye’, and the protests soon spread to Dwarka and Saket courts.
The demonstration by lawyers comes a day after unprecedented protests by Delhi Police personnel outside the police headquarters for 11 hours against attacks on their colleagues at the Tis Hazari and the Saket courts on November 2 and 4. One policeman was beaten up outside the Saket district court, and another on Saturday after a parking dispute between an on-duty policeman and a lawyer which led to at least 20 security personnel and several advocates being injured.
The police have demanded that the licences of lawyers who assaulted their colleagues be revoked and the transfer of the officers involved in the Tis Hazari clash be rescinded. Demanding strict action against the lawyers, the police personnel also want an FIR to be registered against every lawyer involved in the Tis Hazari case. They also want FIRs filed against the policemen by the lawyers in connection with the Tis Hazari case to be quashed.
The protesting police personnel demanded that Delhi Police challenge the Delhi High Court order in the Supreme Court against the suspension order of senior policemen Special Commissioner of Police Sanjay Singh and Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (north) Harinder Singh.
On Sunday, the Delhi High Court directed the Delhi Police commissioner to transfer the two senior officers during the pendency of the investigation. An assistant sub-inspector was also suspended and another transferred for alleged involvement in the clash.
