(Source: FB)Advocate Aniruddhsinh Zala of Bhavnagar, who was involved in an alleged ‘run-in’ with a district judge during his victory rally after getting elected to the Gujarat Bar Council for the third time, has found support from the Surat District Bar Association (SDBA).The victory rally was passing by the court complex on March 23 when a district judge reportedly stepped out on hearing the sound of beating drums, requesting that the volume be lowered.On Thursday, the SDBA, under its president Uday Patel, sent a “letter of support” to the Bhavnagar District Bar Association, “condemning” the incident.Earlier, the Gujarat Judicial Service Association (GJSA) passed a resolution “condemning” the incident and stating that it amounted to “actionable contempt” and a “direct assault on the independence, dignity, security and functioning of the judiciary.”GJSA’s Ahmedabad unit president and Godhra district court judge S G Dodiya told The Indian Express, “We learnt about the incident after a video of it went viral on social media and keeping in mind the dignity and safety of the judges, we have passed a resolution condemning the incident. There are over 1,200 judges in Gujarat and their respect in society should be maintained. The judge was politely requesting the BCG member to lower the sound of the musical bands in the victory rally, as it was found to be disturbing.”The SDBA letter, on the other hand, says, “the relationship between lawyers and the judiciary should be pleasant, not based on fear or pressure.”Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt LtdAdvertisementLoading Recommendations...Live BlogIran vs US-Israel War News Live Updates: Trump’s envoy Witkoff confirms Pakistan acting as mediator between US, Iran34 seconds agoNews Today Live Updates, 26 March | Kanpur anti-Sikh riots: How SIT narrowed 1,251 cases to 11, filed chargesheets against 74 accused1 minute agoDhurandhar 2 Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 7 LIVE Updates: Ranveer Singh film crosses Rs 35 cr mark on Thursday; earns over Rs 1007 cr globally18 minutes agoDubai, UAE News Live Updates: Indian and Pakistani nationals killed in Abu Dhabi debris incident51 minutes agoBihar Board 10th Result 2026 Live Updates: BSEB will announce result date and time soon1 hour ago
