A group of legal professionals who were staging a protest outside the premises of the Supreme Court of India were taken into custody by police officers on duty. The detention occurred during a demonstration, though the specific grievances or demands of the protesting lawyers were not detailed in initial reports.

Following the detention, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) took notice of the situation. The intervention by the head of the judiciary led to the immediate release of the detained individuals. While the incident highlights a rare moment of direct judicial involvement in the management of police actions occurring in the immediate vicinity of the court, the underlying cause of the protest and the specific legal grounds for the initial detention remain unclear. The situation was resolved quickly once the court's leadership became aware of the police action against the legal practitioners.
