The Court made the comments in the context of advocates' ongoing protest against alleged ill-treatment of a lawyer by Justice Ajay Bhanot earlier this week.
The bar association said that a separate chair was being placed in Justice Bhanot's courtroom for police officers and other high-ranking officials.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the association warned that its members would boycott Justice Bhanot's court if no action is taken.
Though there was no formal call for boycotting the judge, lawyers on Wednesday vandalised his courtroom.
Justice Deshwal, whose courtroom is near Justice Bhanot's courtroom, has been unable to hear cases since Wednesday due to the protest by lawyers.
