For violations under Sections 307 (attempt to kill), 341 (wrongful restraint), and 323 (voluntarily causing harm) of the Indian Penal Code, as well as applicable provisions of the Arms Act, an inquiry was launched by filing a first information report (FIR).
According to the notice, a motorbike rider armed with a weapon attacked senior lawyer Ms. Surinder Kaur outside her home today at about 9 p.m., according to members of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association in Jammu. She is currently admitted to the emergency room.
