On Thursday, the SDBA, under its president Uday Patel, sent a “letter of support” to the Bhavnagar District Bar Association, “condemning” the incident.

Earlier, the Gujarat Judicial Service Association (GJSA) passed a resolution “condemning” the incident and stating that it amounted to “actionable contempt” and a “direct assault on the independence, dignity, security and functioning of the judiciary.”
