The Delhi bar associations have resolved to stage a strike on Monday in response to an alleged assault on lawyers in a courtroom in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

A skirmish between baton-wielding police officers and protesting advocates erupted on October 29 after a judge summoned the police to disperse the dissenting lawyers, who were raising slogans against him over a dispute.

The committee's general secretary, Atul Kumar Sharma, urged all lawyers to abstain from work to show solidarity with their colleagues and to protest against what they termed 'police brutality.'
