'Arey Bhai Tu Kya Kar Lega?': Video Of Heated Exchange Between Judge, Lawyer In Delhi's Rohini Court Goes Viral

New Delhi: A heated argument broke out in New Delhi's Rohini District Court between District Judge Rakesh Kumar and Advocate Rajiv Tehlan, who is the President of Rohini Court Bar Association. The purported video of the exchange went viral on social media, prompting the Delhi High Court to take immediate action.

The video purportedly showed the lawyer and the judge arguing in the courtroom over an issued. During the verbal fight, the lawyer was heard telling the judge, “Ye tareeka nai hai aapka (This is not the way to behave)." Refusing to do something requested by the lawyer, Rakesh Kumar said, “Nahi karunga to nahi karunga (I will not do it).”

The lawyer was heard purportedly accusing the judge of coming to the courtroom in an intoxicated state and not working, “Sharab peeke courtroom me baithe ho…Aap kaaam kuch karte nahi hai. (You come to the courtroom drunk. You do no work.)”

When the lawyer seemingly threatened to complain, the judge was purportedly heard saying, “Aapke Baap dada baithe honge High Court me….Aap kuch nai kar paaoge mera, kya kar loge aap?…Arey bhai tu kya kar lega? (Are your relatives sitting in the High Court?…You cannot cause any harm to me.)”

The two then accused each other of creating “tamasha” (drama) in the courtroom.

Following the argument in the courtroom, lawyers' body demanded the transfer of Rakesh Kumar to another court. An emergency meeting of the Coordination Committee of All District Court Bar Association, Delhi, was held and it was decided to transfer Rakesh Kumar. Further, an enquiry was ordered against him.

To replace him, Judicial officer Dhiraj Mittal has been transferred from the Delhi Judicial Academy to Rohini court as District Judge -4 (North West District).
