Rohini Court Shootout: Bar bodies recommend smart cards for advocates to secure entry
India TV NewsThe Delhi High Court on Tuesday received suggestions from the Delhi High Court Bar Association and Bar Council of Delhi which said that the entry of advocates in court premises should be allowed based on a “smart card” having a digital chip for verification of identity. The suggestion given in view of the recent shootout that killed three people in a Rohini courtroom in Delhi was submitted to a bench headed by Chief Justice D N Patel on improving court security, and it said that such smart cards would be akin to the “proximity cards” issued to lawyers for securing entry in the Supreme Court premises. Lawyer Devendra Singh, appearing for BCD, stated that a new card containing a “chip” will be issued to advocates to regulate their entry into court premises. The BCD called for a three-tier security system, including posting police personal in civil clothes inside courtrooms, setting up a “24-hour control room” and installing more CCTVs to monitor the security at court premises.
