At least 20 security personnel and several advocates were injured in the clash over a parking dispute at the Tis Hazari court on 2 November.

During the clash, 17 vehicles were vandalised. The Delhi High Court ordered a judicial inquiry into the clash by one of its retired judges.

Following the court's directions, Special Commissioner Sanjay Singh and Additional DCP Harinder Singh were also transferred.

Four FIRs have been lodged in connection with the incident under relevant sections, including charges of attempt to murder.

A special investigation team of the Crime Branch is currently probing the four cases.

Following the clash, lawyers in the six district courts went on a strike.

Thousands of police personnel also protested outside the Police Headquarters to demand action against those involved in an attack on their colleague outside the Saket court.
