‘Gunda Raj’: Supreme Court Flags Attack on Lawyer Inside Tis Hazari Courtroom

The Supreme Court took serious note of an alleged attack on a lawyer inside a courtroom at Delhi’s Tis Hazari Courts, terming such incidents as “gunda raj” and a failure of the rule of law.

The incident was mentioned before a Bench led by the Chief Justice of India, which emphasised that violence within court premises cannot be tolerated.

The advocate alleged that he was assaulted by the complainant’s counsel and others while the judge was present in court.

The Supreme Court directed the lawyer to approach the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court for administrative action and seek appropriate redress.
