Back-to-back bomb threat emails sent to senior judges triggered panic across at least five courts in West Bengal, including the City Sessions Court, claiming IEDs were planted and could explode anytime, prompting police alerts.
Today, On 19th September, The Punjab and Haryana High Court has initiated a suo motu case after a lawyer waved a sword in court and assaulted Bar members. The High Court directed the Chandigarh Police to file a response in the matter.
Punjab and Haryana Bar Council suspended two lawyers for wielding a sword inside court and attacking bar leaders, stating such behaviour amounts to disrespecting the entire legal profession as it violates ethical standards and professional duties under the Advocates Act.
