In an order passed today, Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal recorded that the protesting lawyers did not allow other lawyers to enter his courtroom, as the gate was locked from the outside.
The Court observed that the Supreme Court has held in a number of cases that stopping an advocate from entering the court amounts to the contempt of court.
Justice Deshwal remarked that most of the advocates practicing at the Allahabad High Court are not only very sincere but also well-behaved.
However, the judge added, it was surprising that without any call from the Bar Association, certain persons claiming to be advocates of the High Court, were stopping counsel from entering the Court for no reason.
The Court requested the newly-elected body of the Bar Association to look into this issue so that the dignity of the bar and the bench is maintained.
