The licences of the lawyers who were part of the Delhi violence should be cancelled and the courts should treat all parties equally, the Central IPS Association said in a resolution on Tuesday.

The remarks came after unprecedented protests by Delhi police personnel on Tuesday outside the police headquarters in the capital for 11 hours against attacks on their colleagues at the Tis Hazari and Saket courts.

The association, which is the umbrella organisation for IPS officers, held an urgent general body meeting at the NIA headquarters here.

“All lawyers who were part of the violence should be identified and befitting legal action, including cancellation of their licences, should be initiated. The court should treat all parties equitably and grant justice,” the resolution said.

The Odisha chapter of the IPS association unequivocally condemned the violent attack on Delhi police and called it unacceptable in any democracy.
