Judge issues warrant for arrest of SP; Police files FIR against Judge for "interference in duty"

Bhopal: An attempt by a judge to protect civil liberty in the obscure tribal district of Jhabua has led to a confrontation between the judiciary and the police.

The chief judicial magistrate (CJM) of Jhabua had issued warrants for the arrests of the SP and the DSP of the district in a case of police brutality. The Jhabua police retaliated by registering a case against the CJM for "causing an interruption in the duty of two constables".

The CJM, Mr M. L. Sanghi has applied for anticipatory bail. He has also sought, ironically, police protection following a threatening letter received by him in court. Five policemen are at present guarding his residence at Jhabua.

The cold war appears to be escalating into a regular tug-of-war with the Judicial Services Association and Police Association rushing to the aid of their comrades in distress.

While the Madhya Pradesh Judicial Services Association has demanded protection for Mr Sanghi, police officers have also taken up cudgels on behalf of their colleagues.
