The Association for Judges have addressed a letter to the Supreme Court of India and the Patna High Court, seeking strict action against the concerned Police officials, allegedly involved in assaulting and intimidating a District Judge.
The Association has condemned such actions against a Judicial Officer and has said that the same amounts to an assault on the entire Subordinate Judiciary of the nation.
The letter states,
"On behalf of Subordinate Judicial Fraternity of Gujarat, we Admins of the Association condemn the unprecedented, unwarranted assault and intimidation occurred with Sri Dr. Dinesh Pradhan, District Judge, Aurangabad, Bihar by Bihar Police and we also condemn inaction on part of the State Government of Bihar in providing protection to Judicial Officers.
This is not an assault on and insult with Dr. Pradhan only but is assault on and insult of the whole subordinate Judiciary of the nation.
We demand strict and immediate action in this matter."
As per ToI, the District Judge was allegedly abused, threatened and chased by a police sub-inspector of the Town police station when he was on evening walk on October 21. The SI was accompanied by paramilitary personnel for a flag march that time.
