The Allahabad high court terminated 11 trainee judicial officers from the lower judicial service last week after a drunken brawl in Lucknow in which the 11 were involved, reported the Times of India.
The 11 had visited a restaurant on 7 August to celebrate the completion of their training on 8 August, had allegedly consumed liquor and then engaged in a scuffle with people present at the restaurant. The footage of this was recorded on the restaurant’s CCTV camera.
The HC’s administrative committee had already recommended the suspension of 20 trainee judges who were originally accused of misbehaviour, according to several local news sources, but the full court headed by chief justice DY Chandrachud decided to terminate the services of 11 out of those 20. The full court also transferred three additional directors at their institute, who had allegedly tried to hush up the incident.
A female trainee judge was the target of their misbehaviour in the inebriated condition, reported ENI.

Always amazes me how Indian men can never hold their drink.
I am not saying India is pathetic when it comes to women's safety and rights, but a general statement like "Indians dance around trees during courtship" obviously pinches, especially when so many men are flocking to De Beers and choosing the right champagne bottle!
Peace.
Baba Ji Ka Thullu!!
