New Delhi: Taking suo motu cognizance of the Rohini Court firing case on Thursday, Delhi High Court stated that there is a need for the deployment of adequate police forces in all the lower courts of the national capital.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DN Patel has issued a notice to the Delhi Police, the Bar Council of India and the Delhi Government and sought their suggestions by October 5.
The bench stated "It is a serious matter. This needs immediate attention. Whenever police checked advocates they opposed it because they are in a hurry not because they don't want to be checked, so this issue should also be considered. There is a need for the deployment of adequate police forces in the court premises. Ample number of CCTVs should also be installed functioning round-the-clock,"
"Hi-tech metal detectors and baggage scanners should be installed. Under vehicle surveillance system-permanent and portable applications- effectively scan and inspect the undercarriage of vehicle for suspicious objects & more- should also be installed. Proper training to the police deployed in the court premises," court added.
