Sr Adv Singh: We have to ensure that power of judicial officers are safeguarded. On behalf of SCBA can be taken in confidence

Justice DY Chandrachud: I am sure it is before the Chief Justice of India. On my behalf too I will take it up

Sr Adv Singh: This case is for the CBI. Local police is usually complicit in such matters. It is shocking. A judge is on a morning walk and is hit by a vehicle. He was dealing with bail applications of gangsters. This is attack on judicial independence my lord
