Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was today restrained by the Dwarka District Judge here from addressing the lawyers inside the courts' premises saying it cannot be used for political purposes.
A high drama was witnessed inside the courts complex when the lawyers of Dwarka Court Bar Association (DCBA), who had invited Kejriwal, were told that he cannot address the gathering.
District Judge Ravinder Kaur had asked the police and court employees to take necessary steps to ensure that the premises were not used for the rally.
Advocates and office bearers of DCWA had set up a dais for Kejriwal to address them.
On being denied the permission, the lawyers got agitated and started shouting slogans against the judge.
The advocates then gathered outside the office of the judge and created unruly scene and threatened to boycott the courts tommorrow, the sources said.
