Allahabad High Court Awards Rs 1 Compensation to Senior Advocate Thrashed by Police After Lawyer Says Fight Was 'More With Regard to the Honour of the Lawyers'

The Allahabad High Court recently ordered the State government to pay a compensation of Rs 1 to a Senior Advocate named Dr Ashok Nigam as a token of respect. The court passed the order in a case seeking damages for the lawyers who had been beaten up by the police in 2004 during a peaceful agitation. Advocate Ashok Nigam had moved a petition in 2007 and sought compensation for the injured lawyers as well as appropriate action against the police personnel. The senior lawyer had also suffered injuries in the police action. On March 20, the division bench of Justice Vivek Chaudhary and Justice Om Prakash Shukla asked the senior counsel about the compensation he was expecting. To this, Ashok Nigam said he would accept any compensation fixed by the court as the fight was "more with regard to the honour of the lawyers". Uttar Pradesh: Allahabad High Court Dismisses Plea Against Stay on Suspension of Lecturer Who Married Twice.
