I was in adjacent lawyers chambers when we first heard of the assault. Thankfully the situation was under control and the accused was arrested by the police. Lawyers chambers are accessible to all litigants and it is difficult to screen visitors - no one would have ever imagined that a lawyer can be attacked in his/ her chambers within the Supreme Court premises. Today Prashant Bhushan has been attacked because some people disagree with his views, tomorrow other lawyers and perhaps even judges could be attacked because litigants or others disagree with their approach or line of questioning or decisions. And while I understand that there are a lot of people out there who strongly disagree with Prashant Bhushan's views on several issues, but to attack a person like this is completely unacceptable and cannot be condoned. There are ways and means in which one can express his/her disagreement - beating up lawyers is no show of strength. I am not a Prashant Bhushan supporter and continue to disagree with his views on several issues but I strongly condemn this assault and hope that the bar association takes requisite steps to ensure security at the chambers. Freedom of speech and expression is our fundamental right and must be protected. People like the accused and their supporters must not be permitted to make a mockers of our guaranteed constitutional rights.
Then why do you say "Kapadia starts pilot projects to restate & re-summarise" thereby giving a false impression that as though the CJI has just started the project!
