A violent clash between the police and advocates led to a lathi charge against lawyers at the Madras High Court on Thursday.
A number of lawyers and a judge were injured. The High Court turned into a war zone as lawyers began to throw stones at the police demanding the release of one lawyer arrested for assaulting Janata Party resident Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday.
Many people have been injured, including a judge and NDTV's reporter Madhu Bharathi.
The situation is still very tense but now the police has decided to withdraw from the High Court.
Meanwhile, a CBI probe has been ordered into Madras High Court violence.
PTI adds: The trouble broke out when police were attempting to arrest the lawyers and other advocates protested, threw stones
and clashed with police, who were posted in strength, in front of the court premises, sources said.
Police made a lathicharge in an attempt to disperse the lawyers.
Some advocates lodged a complaint with the judges who came out to inspect the scene. At that time, Justice Arumugaperumal Adityan was injured in stone-pelting.
Several cars, parked inside the court premises, were damaged and traffic on the busy NSC Bose Road was disrupted.
