The incident of the Dhanbad judge murder case which shook the judicial system has now again become a matter of concern after the Rohini Shootout case. The Rohini Shootout case which caused the death of 3 persons has caused the Chief Justice to think twice regarding the safety of judges.
The Supreme Court showed concern towards the protection of judges and is likely to prioritize the suo moto cases keeping in mind the incident of death of Dhanbad judge Uttam Anand.
After yesterday’s incident, CJI NV Raman had a word with Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, DN Patel showing concern and suggested that he maintain contact with police. He also ensured that the working of Bar doesn’t get affected by this incident.
