Unprecedented, worried for our safety: Rohini judges say protesting lawyers blocked their exit

Two judges posted at the Rohini Court confirmed the development to Bar & Bench, adding that the judges' exit was blocked for nearly 40 minutes. A senior judge said that he had never seen such a situation in over 20 years of his judicial career. Kisi ne ye expect nahi kiya tha ki they can go to this extent, more so jab koi grave, collective ya provocative issue tha bhi nahi (This is the worst experience. No one expected that they could go to this extent, given that there was no grave, collective or provocative issue involved),” the judge said on condition of anonymity. The gates were blocked at around 4 PM and were opened at around 4:40 PM, the judge said.
