[HumJanenge] Blast at Delhi High Court

Dear Friends

I was within the Delhi High Court at 10:14 AM when powerful blast
shook the building, resulting in hundreds of people being affected. In
fact I was standing at the very spot where the blast took place at
about 9:45 AM.

The blame for this incident lies squarely at the door of the Chief
Justice of Delhi High Court. I had filed RTIs recently to the Court
highlighting the problems litigants like me faced to enter the court
and make passes strongly emphasising the "threat to life and limb" of
litigants by the encroachment on the pavements by the advocates and
court . Recent security measures introduced by the Registrar/DHC like
insisting on photo-ID and making applicants for gate passes sign in
their presence have increased the queques. Only 3 functioning counters
to issue passes, senior advocates parking their BMWs on the footpath
where the passes are issued. In the SC the pass section is inside the
controlled area and they have about 15 functioning counters. And so
on.
