HC directive sought for removal of iron cages from courtrooms
A writ petition has been filed with the High Court seeking its order on the authorities concerned of the government to remove the iron cages from the courtrooms throughout the country.
Iron cages inside courtrooms are where the accused stand during case proceedings.
Advocate Mohammad Shishir Manir, on behalf of 10 Supreme Court lawyers, submitted the petition as a public interest litigation with the HC.
The petition also asked for re-establishment of wooden cages in the courtrooms.
The petitioners said the use of iron cages at the courtrooms is inhumane and contradictory to the law and constitution.
Hearing of the petition will be held at a convenient time, says a lawyer.
