A woman from Vatva wanted to protest by shedding clothes against the sluggish pace of court proceedings, and even began undressing in the city sessions court campus near Income Tax Circle on Tuesday afternoon, before she was stopped, Times of India reported.
Last year, the woman had filed a complaint against her husband accusing him of molesting their minor daughter. The woman said that the court has not been able to secure her husband’s presence in criminal proceedings even after a year of filing an FIR against him.
The accused person had fled to Delhi after he was booked under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
As she started shouting and removing her clothes, women home guards and lawyers rushed in and stopped her. A person accompanying the litigant was video recording the incident. He, too, was forced to stop recording.
Both were taken to the court registrar, where they tendered an apology and assured the authority that they would not indulge in any such activity in future that could disrupt peaceful atmosphere in court campus.
