New Delhi: Advocate entry at the court place must be permitted based on “smart card” which has a digital chip for identity verification, the lawyer’s agency on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court considering the recent shootout which killed three people in the Rohini courtroom.
The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) and Delhi Bar (BCD), in their advice was given to the bench led by the Chairman of the Judge DN Patel on improving the security of the court, said that such a smart card would be similar to the “closeness card”.
It was issued for lawyers to secure the entry in the place of the Supreme Court.
The bench, also consisted of Justice Jyoti Singh, hearing the petition on security and safety at the court, which was initiated by himself after the September 24 shootout in Rohini Court.
The bench had previously asked all stakeholders, including the center, the Delhi government, and various associations of bars to also provide their advice on the problem so they could be included in the order.
“Advocates can be permitted with ID cards, such as proximity cards in the Supreme Court …
there will be mechanical scanning of these digital cards,” said President Dhcba and senior lawyer Mohit Mathur.
Lawyer Devendra Singh, appears for BCD, states that a new card containing “chip” will be issued to advocate to organize their entries to the court.
He added that all advocates must comply with security checks and any rejection to follow the same will amount to violations.
DHCBA then suggests that all visitors include advocates must be thrown by using a sophisticated metal detector, all vehicles must be checked by using “hi-tech devices” and the entry of vendors must be prohibited.
It is also said that only licensed shop owners must be permitted, identity cards must be issued for their staff.
BCD calls for a three-level security system, including posting a private police in civilian clothing in the courtroom, preparing a “24-hour control room” and installing more CCTV to monitor security in court.
It is also recommended that “active interactions and meeting” stakeholders must be ascertained to deal with separate problems and uniforms can be prescribed for legal internships.
Both attorney bodies argue that underbial production must go through virtual mode and the amount of security personnel must be increased.
Lawyer Robin Raju, appears for applicant lawyers who have submitted a separate application about this issue, saying that an advisor must be spent for all bar members to work with security checks in court.
The additional lawyer General Chetan Sharma, appeared for Delhi police, said that his advice was “more or less the same”.
“It seems that this problem will only be worse because of the density.
The court is a soft target,” he said.
“In general, we got a lot of suggestions,” said the chief justice that included this problem to hear further on October 25.
“We expect respondents who have not submitted a valuable statement (can do this) so that this problem is taken to the destination by providing direction for safety (court place),” said the court.
Previously, Delhi police have suggested that the use of technology must be maximized to reduce the physical presence of parties in all seven district courts here and updated security gadgets installed there to avoid security issues.
It is said that the security of seven district courts has been taken over by the security unit, which is a special police unit Delhi, and the security settings needed and the staff are being deployed.
The High Court has been on September 30, which was initiated by itself in the petition on the security at the National Capital after the September 24 shootout in Rohini Court, said there was a need for the spread of police personnel who were sufficient and effective in court.
