10.06.2022, the Presiding Officer was conducting proceedings of the Special Court dealing with highly sensitive child abuse offences. It appears that the Members of the Bar Association circulated a letter on the same date i.e., 10.06.2022 proposing to suspend the judicial work on account of suicide committed by a lawyer in Sikar. As per the complaint, while the proceedings of the Court were going on at about 10:20 AM, as many as 35 advocates including the six contemnors herein, entered into the Court raising slogans. The advocates, shouted at the policemen sitting in the Court and the witnesses in attendance to move out of the Court. However, when the police officials did not leave the Court, the advocates tried to force the issue and grappled with a constable named Karna Ram. Two more police officials named Devendra Singh and Rajesh Meena (ASI) tried to intervene but the lawyers continued to grapple with the Constable Karna Ram. In order to save the Constable from further harm at the hands of the lawyers, the Presiding Officer was compelled to send him to the PA Room via the dias. However, the lawyers followed the constable to the PA Room. The Constable Karna Ram bolted the door from inside but the lawyers started banging the doors of the PA Room. When they could not succeed in forcing the constable out, they left the Court room. The Presiding Officer got snapped photographs of the resultant chaos in the Court Room as a consequence of the ruckus created by the lawyers. A CD of video taken by a police employee was also prepared which forms a part of the record of this contempt petition.
