Acting on the reference sent by the Prayagraj district judge, a division bench comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Mohammad Azhar Husain Idrisi issued notice to both lawyers -- Ram Vijay Singh and Mohammad Asif -- asking them why they should not be punished for criminal contempt.
On Monday, some advocates entered the senior division court located on the district court premises and allegedly beat up a litigant.
The court also directed the commissioner of police, Prayagraj, to submit a report regarding existing security arrangements on the district court premises and to ensure that adequate police force is deployed so that such incidents do not occur again.
