Kolkata, July18 : Lawyers in Kolkata on Wednesday disrupted work at courthouses in Alipore, protesting against an altercation between their colleagues and police a day before.
Work came to a grinding halt at the Alipore Police Court and the Aliporeudges Court, some lawyers attacked police vans that were trying to enter the court campus.
The police does not have the authority to arrest people without following the rule of law, said Prasanta Ranjan Guha Ray, a Bar Council member.
The lawyers had objected to the re-arrest of a man who was granted bail after serving a prison term of eight years, but the police responded by assaulting them. Three lawyers were injured in the scuffle.
The lawyers sought the intervention of State Law Minister Rabi Lal Moitra and Kolkata High Court Chief Justice S S Nijjar.
