Calcutta HC Deprecates Lawyers Strike; Directs Police To Take Action In Case Of Interference In Administration Of Justice [Read Order]

Live Law  

On Monday, the Calcutta High Court took strong exception to the lawyer's strike and cautioned that any obstruction to judges, police personnel or other public servants from entering the court would amount to cognizable offence and prompt steps shall be taken against the offenders. "the striking lawyers have not only brought the administration of justice to a standstill but have also in a flagrant manner obstructed the police personnel from discharging their official duties which amount to cognizable offence in law," Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Suvra Ghosh said. The observations were made while hearing a bail application wherein the bench was informed that due to lawyers' strike, police personnel were unable to enter the court premises and produce the original case diary. Thus directions were issued to the Superintendent of Police, Paschim Medinipur to take necessary steps so that police personnel, litigants, lawyers and all stake holders in the administration of justice are permitted to enter into the court premises.
