All courts in State to be provided CISF protection

The Chief Justice, who was answering a question posed by advocate Rubert Barna Bas that the advocates were being subjected to severe hardship, especially the frisking that takes  place each time they get in and out of the court, said, “whenever you enter the airport you are subjected to the security and  the same security procedure needs to be adopted here also.” 

However, the advocate argued that airports needed international security system and the same yardstick cannot be applied here  as advocates entering the High Court premises were not  extremists. The Chief Justice retorted by posing a question as to who were  the root cause behind the turn of events in the High Court. He said it was unfortunate that advocates exhibited an agitated state of mind and seek  cheap publicity. He further noted that the security procedure adopted in SC is being adopted here. 

The Registrar General was taking steps to implement CISF security at the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court and all the other courts in Tamil Nadu will be extended CISF security in a phased manner.
