Hearing begins in Tis Hazari violent clash in Delhi High Court on Delhi police personnel's plea. Additional Solicitor General Manindar Acharya has said that they only want court's intervention in the matter.
Senior Advocate Mohit Mathur, who is also the President of the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) asked, "What is the clarification they want. What they want today is just a stamp from the court to take action
. Let them come forward and say that they will take action against the people. We want restoration of law, peace and order."
Senior Advocate and Chairman of Bar Council of India Manan Kumar Mishra said, "Yesterday, they (police) were shouting slogans at ITO... but lawyers from yesterday are sitting peacefully on dharna (strike). He mentioned, "my submission is that they do not lodge any further FIRs."
Meanwhile, some advocates argued, "What action have they taken against the cops who had fired..."
Supreme Court Bar Association chief Rakesh Khanna said, "media is trying to create an atmosphere against the judiciary... media is committing contempt of court saying that juducial order is biased... asking for refrain media from reporting this matter."
Advocate KC Mittal representing the High Court Bar Association said, "the court should take a Suo motu cognizance of these provocative statements of police... despite that the two persons are not arrested they are on protest. Now, who is provoking... the government did not do anything on the ITO protest... we will try to make our best effort to diffuse the situation."
